Nobody? Okay then. Kinda wish Luigi played more of a role, but I also knew going in that he'd be captured for most of the film. Still, the scenes with him were pretty funny, although that damn --- THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Do not write in this space. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I Looooved the movie. Had a lot of fun. If you have a kid/related to a kid, and they ever played Mario, they will have a blast. I haven't seen kids love a movie more than what I just saw in a good few years. Mario evokes really strong emotions that people take for granted. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 35, 500th posts: 34; PiO ATTN: 6 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...

Tbh I kinda think the 'mid level' movies from studios like Illumination or whoever were always over hated on the internet to begin with. They're not as good as the big Disney, Pixar or your Paddingtons or whatever but they're overall still safe popcorn stuff that are amusing enough to watch with the odd laugh. Actual terrible CGI kids movies from the big studios are pretty rare. At worse they're just safe and same old. --- A Fallen Mascot ... Copied to Clipboard!

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] There was actually a 1986 anime film, released only in Japan, that actually has Bowser trying to marry Peach, and it was pretty obvious he had feelings for her, and it wasn't just some power-grab.

Just watched it! As a Mario fanatic since I can literally remember growing up with games, 90s movie, cartoons, spin-offs, etc... I will say the movie made me smile entire time and several times made my eyes water. It truly is everything I could have wanted in a Mario movie.

I liked the movie but c'mon. I liked it because I already liked Mario and Nintendo. If you don't care about that I think it's totally fair to dislike the movie. Like objectively I can step back and notice the complete and utter lack of development or effort in any of the characterizations and relationships. The movie just doesn't have enough room to give any room to breathe when it comes to Mario's relationships with Peach, Luigi, Toad and Donkey Kong. It's obvious what they're going for but they all get like 5-10 minutes of screen time that even comes close to actually developing any of it on the screen. The movie doesn't even give any time for Mario to actually get to know the Mushroom Kingdom But yeah treat it like a theme park ride instead of a movie and it's so fun. Video game movies have never really captured the spirit of a game as well as this. Hopefully the sequels and spin-offs can allow more time for that to be there along with getting to know these characters a bit better. --- A Fallen Mascot ... Copied to Clipboard!

How much someone likes the movie is going to based heavily on whether or not you find references entertaining. I'm a big fan of the games, but just having references wasn't enough for me to enjoy the movie. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Punished_Blinx 04/07/23 9:36:28 PM #42: |
Yeah sequels and spin-offs should have an easier time. Even this movie probably would have reviewed better if they just stuck with the Mushroom Kingdom and the Dark Lands instead of cramming in the Donkey Kong stuff. That really is where all of the character development gets lost in the shuffle as it suddenly shifts to Mario and DK. Spin-offs being focused on DK, Luigi and Captain Toad or whatever should be a lot more focused. --- A Fallen Mascot ... Copied to Clipboard!

PiOverlord 04/07/23 9:58:13 PM #43: |
To me, it made perfect sense. I think it's obvious they wanted to push for Donkey Kong stuff in order to set-up for a DK movie. Plus, it was showing great respect for Mario's first true rivalry. They wanted to, both, include DK's rivalry with Mario, yet not take him from his DK Country setting that has been built and established long since the original arcade days. Good ol' classic Mario vs DK. I think this movie did a great job of planting a bunch of seeds for future projects. I expect the next movie to be more focused on the Mushroom kingdom side of things (or they might jump to Galaxy since they were referencing it quite a few times). --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 35, 500th posts: 34; PiO ATTN: 6 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...

It makes sense but usually in a movie like this the rivalry between Mario and DK would be the central relationship of the movie. Overall the movie tries to juggle like three relationships that would usually be the central one and as a consequence none of them manage to really be. Mario probably only has 2-3 proper conversations with each character at most. Overall Mario and Luigi is overall considered the emotional core of the movie but they spend most of the movie apart and Luigi isn't given much to do. Their entire arc together takes place over like four short scenes It's like you know what the emotional plots of these characters relationships would be but it just skips over the entire middle bit. It's why even though I thought the Sonic movie wasn't as good I can understand why it reviewed better. Overall Sonic has a complete arc of wanting to find a home and the movie is centralised around that. Even people who don't care about Sonic can relate to that. If I could sum up the overall issue with the movie in a single pair of scenes it would be --- A Fallen Mascot ... Copied to Clipboard!
