https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-may-abandon-mario-movie-if-the-idea-isnt-/1100-6456718/

I'm really curious how this movie will turn out if it makes it to the screen. But Mario and Luigi having actual spoken dialogue is going to be weird.

Smart move imo

I'm sure the movie would make a huge profit regardless of how bad or good it is, but could you imagine if they had another awful Mario movie? I don't think people would trust any of their movies after that

I thought the cartoons were great and they had voice actors that fit those roles well so I don't think their dialog will be weird if they find the right people for the part. I'm just wondering how over the top it would be

That's true, but that was before voices in games became widespread. Ever since the N64 era, Mario and Luigi have just been spouting canned phrases.

On that note, I wonder if they'll get Charles Martinet to reprise his roles? He'd have to keep those voices up for the whole movie. I don't know if Martinet's Mario and Luigi (and others) voices won't get grating after a while, or if he could keep it up for 90 minutes.

Minions makes insane money so at least they're good at something.

Yea, I think Martinet does a great voice when he's just saying short phrases, but I think it would get grating after a while

I think they'd almost have to knock the voices down a notch so they don't end up annoying people

Yeah, I'm an old timer so them speaking in gruff Brooklyn accents will always be the way it should be to me, lol, no offense to Martinet. An entire movie of his voice is kind of scary.

Bah this is going to suck.

Being bad was the only reason SMB was an enjoyable movie.

I mean we never would have gotten gems like "plumber alert" and "trust the fungus" if the film stood up against any real criticism.

I wanna know what people expected out of the Mario movie.

It let us see them being plumbers and it throws in several references to the games that were out at that point. Mario has very little in terms of a story.

Anyone that actually expected a live action Mario movie to be good is an idiot.

What were all the disappointed people thinking they would get? Bob Hoskins silently running and jumping for an hour and a half?

I remember when I first heard they were making a Mario movie I just assumed it would be animated, like a higher quality version of the cartoon more or less. Although once I knew it was going to be live action, uhhh... I was still optimistic because I was a kid but I knew it probably wasn't going to go well.

Yeah. He was amazing at coming up with game concepts in the 80's, I can't say I've been really into most of the things he's seemed to push since then. I'm sure he has an audience still but it isn't me.

I have absolutely no issue with Mario speaking full sentences whatsoever.

I have issue with Illumination writing them.

Miyamoto isnt giving me hope either. He is a fantastic game designer, but not even he is under any delusion that hes a writer.

I just dont understand trying to adapt a cartoon video game to live action. Keep it a cartoon. Make it for the kids. Dont make the same mistake twice. How can they legitimately make it live action without it being like the first one?

The only reason why Im not edge-of-my-seat hyped for it is that its being done by Illumination. If it were Pixar, Id be stoked.

There's plenty examples of Mario (and Luigi more recently) talking extensively. This is actually why Charles Martinet was originally cast as Mario. I think he'd do fine, it's Bowser I would be worried about considering the last time he talked.

It's possible that Mario won't talk much in this movie. In fact it really wouldn't surprise me if the main protagonist is some new person who ends up going on an adventure with the Mario cast or some shit like that. That's pretty much what Mario + Rabbids did.

If it were up to me, I'd have someone else voice Mario and have Martinet voice Bowser using his dragon voice from Skyrim.
