Probably the best thing about the movie is that it doesn't take itself seriously. There's no attempt to make this an epic movie. It just brings the game's characters to life. They do so while keeping the art style in line with what you see in the game. The story of the very simple game is expanded without adding too much like how everything works. The game's story is simple and this one is too. Fear not, there's a lot of room for sequels. Go in expecting nothing, otherwise you'll be disappointed. It's a good film to turn off your brain to and just let the light drizzle onto your eyeballs.
About as good as a Mario movie can be I suppose. It hits all of the reference points from the game, then shoe horns in some toxic bro dude politics. Overall just found it exhausting after a while. There is this new mode of pleased with itself mentality that so many of these types of movies hit. Its the corporate product as film in particular. They merged the marvel movie franchising with their endless line of whats for sale. Not really sure what the mechanism is yet, but Mario the movie shows off how this well oiled machine is cranking out this mid level trash en mass.
It's a good! My experience of 'Mario' starts and ends with 'Mario Kart', which I haven't actually played since back in the day on my Nintendo DS and even then I had no understanding of the franchise itself; just treated it as a normal racing game. I was an Xbox kid growing up (thanks, ma!), so that be the reason. Anyway, that's a long way of saying I'm no Mario know-it-all. Despite all that, I do remember most of the characters from the aforementioned video game and it was cool seeing them come to life in 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie'. Chris Pratt feels an odd cast for Mario but does do a solid job in fairness to him. Jack Black and Charlie Day are very good in their roles as Bowser and Luigi. Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen and Anya Taylor-Joy are also positives as Toad, Donkey King and Princess Peach. No doubt whatsoever that this will be the first film of a crap tonne from this franchise. Still, if they do as well as they did here then they'll be successful, I'm sure. I'd be up for exploring the world via film, tbf.
It's been a while since I watched the film. But I loved the film so much! I'm not as big of a Nintendo fan as I used to be, and I thought I wouldn't care about the film at all, but I was wrong. Nintendo's world translated into the big screen hit all the right notes. Chris Pratt being the voice of Mario was kind of odd at first, but he did a great job. Personally, he hit the New Yorker Mario just right. All the other voice actors—Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, and everyone else—did a great job! This is a great family movie, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I already had hopes of this being a nice little watch, but then the singing came in, and from the character you least expect. And I just stuck it out from there to see the relevance of the scene to the movie. None. It had no relevance
