Absolutely. I call it family friendly fun for all ages. The movie was good. Just about the same amount of story a generic Mario game has. (and yeah, I'm okay with that)
Yeah, it was a perfectly fine movie that was engaging enough to keep me watching and had at least a few funny lines. Perfectly acceptable animated kids fare.
I have to disagree with you guys. Thanks to pixar I now like my children's movies to be entertaining for children but also be incredibly funny or inspiring in some way. Like you said, this movie was great for the lowest common denominator but nothing more.
@@moretac I mean, it's not Pixar, it's Illumination. My expectations were honestly super low so I was pleasantly surprised by it. It's not great, I probably wouldn't watch it again, but it wasn't outright terrible like I expected.
The movie brought my kids a lot of joy and they both love it. That’s good enough for me. The call backs, Easter eggs, and music choices also hit my nostalgia enough to keep me engaged enough.

At this point I have to wonder what DCEU movie has the least slow-motion in it since even the non-Snyder's ones have been not great about like _Wonder Woman_ (2017), where excessive slow-motion was the worst thing about that movie outside of the Ares reveal (at least until _WW84_ existed). It would be rather funny if the one with the least is the most "Marvel-y" one a.k.a. _The Suicide Squad_ (2021) even though the MCU is doubtless guilty of excessive slow-motion too to some extent in some of its movies by this point.
It was good choice having Luigi be the hostage instead of Peach. Rather than just being the unexpected hero rescues damsel, it gave Mario the drive to save somebody who's close to him and you can tell Mario and Luigi have a good brotherly love for each other. Also, Mario having get help from Peach not only progresses the established image of Peach being an independent fighter but also gives Mario and Peach time to develop a relationship. Luigi still could have used a little more screen time, but it was a smart choice.
@Gabe Mark Idk have you seen the amount movies and shows obsessed with flawless female characters and making them invincible where no one can kill or capture them? It's gonna be a mighty sinkhole to dig and look for exceptions.
The director of Wall-E should do it because he knows how to make a movie with ver little dialogue and I think he could do a serious, suspenseful, no dialogue, action packed Metroid.
@@wadesimmons7460 That's tricky, if there's going to be a Metroid movie, should Yoshio Sakamoto being involved or is that a bad idea after what happened with Other M???
According to Charlie Day (who voices Luigi) many plot details were kept from the film's actors, with him only being given just enough of the script to do his voice role.
I've got to admit watching the movie made me emotional right at the end cause it took me back to my childhood, back when my little brother and I could escape our shitty neglectful reality through games
That'll be a while because right now popular media is hyperactive, quippy nonsense that undercuts every moment that ought to be serious, thanks to Marvelification of everything.
Metroid movie at least rated pg-13 and make it like a mix between annihilation and Peter Jackson's King Kong. Make sure she's alone for most of the movie and says barely anything. Don't forget the bounty hunter piece and setting it in space.

Amazing, for all it's faults, this movie reminded me how much more I would have liked the first Sonic film if it washed itself more in the wildness of the game world rather than the boring of the human world. And that this movie reminded me what a missed opportunity it was to not embrace music from the games more because man does that get you more immersed. And I'm saying the first movie, since it isn't fair to compare with the second that was learning from before.
We do have to give illumination credit for not resorting to potty humour in this. Plus, after the 93 film, the movie was safe, sure, but sometimes, it's okay for a movie to just be good.
I was surprised, and actually liked this movie more than I thought I would. There were a couple moments they could have done without -- but, overall pretty good movie.

This movie managed to be a WAY better adaptation of the Mario games than the live action movie 30 years ago ever could’ve been. It’s honestly such a huge Far Cry that I’m very impressed and proud of Illumination and Nintendo for making the adaptation a good one!🌟
They absolutely succeeded at giving the audience everything they could want out of a Mario movie. Quite a few traditional movie elements suffered to attain that goal, but it ultimately worked out. One thing this movie had going for it that the prior adaption didn't is 30+ years of nostalgia and games that folks young and old could relate to. Also probably had someone in charge that knew what Mario was, lol.
While Disney's anime movies from the past are way better than the Live action movies they have been making. It's funny how the scripts are reversed for these companies.
Super Mario Bros.: The Movie from 1993 is a unique film that shouldn't be discredited. The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023 is a great children's movie that's generic and safe.
My wife & I actually enjoyed watching this with our 5 year old daughter. A nice combination of 80s nostalgia & humor to make it work. It was also nice that they stuck with much of the source material from the game. 😊
@@sonicsucks20 In the film titled Face/Off starring Nicolas Cage, there was a scene on an airplane, or more like a private jet, there was an attractive flight attendant lady there, Nick Cage asked her name and her name was Peach, then Nick Cage said the line.
People complain Mario doesn't have an Italian accent. But the fact is, in this interpretation, he grew up in an Italian family in New York (or somewhere around there). He likely wouldn't have an Italian accent by nature, but would be familiar with what one sounds like.
Mission was NOT accomplished. If making a film that appeals only to children under 7, then i guess so. They didn't write a film to appeal to the tens of millions of adults that grew up with Mario. They could have written a film that appeals to every age (a la Toy Story). Instead, they ignored adults almost completely. The dialogue and jokes were for tiny children, like stuff out of an old joke book. I was sooooo bored, and couldn't wait for it to be over.
Awesome trailer! YAHOO!! 🤩⭐ Best video game movie ever! Mostly cos Illumination actually used the source material. The lore, locations, references, easter eggs, and so much more! The movie isn't perfect, it has its issues, but it's still an adaptation done right at its core. And in the end that's all that matters. A fun theme park movie for everyone!
I feel like this is a reference I don't quite get, to the point that it just feels more like an insult to Luigi himself given the things Casey Affleck has been accused of supposedly doing.
@@JohnnyBNerdy Ah. I somewhat figured that was joke, but given that ironically I have only ever heard opposite (at least in terms of actual acting), I wasn't sure. Thanks.
The Mario Movie is not just some generic kids movie. It's a video game movie that celebrates all things Mario and is meant for ALL Mario fans, young and old.
He is an Italian FROM Brooklyn who is very obviously at least a second generation american his accent would lean more Brooklyn New York than hammed up Italian. People really need to drop the accent complaint and be happy he didnt go all stereotype then there would be a whole other group complaining about how "problematic" Pratt is.
Yeah why would we want him to sound exactly like every game he has ever been a part of the past 30 years that had voices for him.....oh wait..... They literally did the voices right in the commercial and should've just kept them the entire movie but instead needed name recognition instead so went with big name actors. They were the only two in the entire movie that didn't fit their part too which is sad considering they are the two main names of a mario bros cast...
Reallu proud of seth, he's come a long way since playing the gorilla that stole that dude's eye in the Congo movie. Much love from your high school bud, Seth
Most fun I've ever had watching a movie with no plot. My 5 year old nephew absolutely loved it, and to be fair, it's definitely targeted to his age demographic
I had so much fun watching this movie. I hope this will lead into more fun video game adaptations. I'm hoping for Kirby and Ninja Gaiden down the road.
When that part about the slow-mo came up I thought of guardians 3 where the final battle felt like I was just playing a long quick time event sequence in a video game
Yes, it's not just unexpected hero rescues damsel. It gave Mario the drive to save somebody who's close to him and having help from Peach not only progresses the established image of Peach being an independent fighter but also gives Mario and Peach time to develop a relationship. Luigi still could have used a little more screen time, but it was a smart choice.
You know for anyone who's going to say "that's not like the game" then you may be interested to know there actually was a real nintendo game called Super Princess Peach where Peach rescues Mario.
@@catdogmousecheese Right. And in a movie called “Princess Peach” I’d expect to see what I saw in this film. The Mario series was almost exclusively “plumber rescues princess from monster”. It deviated from that formula for some entries, but that was the core of the series. Should have started with that, then branched off. For Mario to not be needed in his own movie is a shame.
2:33 Wait, I thought BOB, Mantis and "live-action" Pumba were in that one scene of the Rescue Rangers movie because of their eyes, they also all share a voice actor with Bob the Viking?
When he said “still lives with his mom” that’s when it made he question if they knew how much it actually cost to live in Brooklyn let alone 2023. It’s legit hard especially in New York city
I've seen the film twice now digitally and it is a masterpiece. I love the orchestral pieces of game music, all of the various Easter eggs and how well it is put together. Sure, Seth Rogan wasn't the best choice for DK, but he still did a great job with the role. There really wasn't any weak voice acting IMO. The ending did remind me a bit of "MegaMind".
I dont know how old you are but the movie was not that good... and the voice acting wasnt bad but totally wrong and couldve been 10000 times better with different voices. Bowsers voice was great except for the times he broke into his normal jack black voice everytime he sang and ruined it.
Honestly, can you imagine getting a Smash Bros Cinematic Universe? With Movie Mario, Movie Sonic, and maybe Movie pokemon, Zelda, Metroid, Megaman etc, all coming together like in Infinity War? That sounds awesome
That line in Face/Off might be the best thing ever commit to film in John Woo's career. Also, where''s my TMNT (1990) trailer? It's honestly one of the best adaptations to come out of the era and yet nothing. The well is dry.
Fun fact in Italian culture it’s normal to live at home till you’re in your 30s or at least till you marry. Movie is quite faithful to that

Once upon a time, an Easter egg was something someone with a sense of humor sneaked into a movie instead of a plastic-dipped marketing angle.
@@MegaZeta an example of an “Easter egg” in this film would be the “Excuse me princess!” line. That’s definitely geared to land with a niche audience.

He likely wouldn't have an Italian accent by nature, but would be familiar with what one sounds like.
That "more slowmo...." had me cracking 😂😂😂
1:46 Those are some delicious looking pastas ! Really love when the animation takes time to "capture" the food !
Super Cash Bros is a fantastic standard Mario maker level film. I enjoyed every moment of this film.
“And more slow mo than Zack Snyder directing a Max Payne movie”
💀💀💀
Third time is the charm for Nintendo making a great feature film.
*Mission accomplished.*
Detective Pikachu was pretty good
@@Supherodude i think he was referring to the wizard and the 1993 movie, people have completely forgotten about detective pikachu for some reason.
that movie suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
@@Charles12 I actually remember that film really... Folks still wished Danny DeVito voiced Detective Pikachu.
Mission was NOT accomplished. If making a film that appeals only to children under 7, then i guess so. They didn't write a film to appeal to the tens of millions of adults that grew up with Mario. They could have written a film that appeals to every age (a la Toy Story). Instead, they ignored adults almost completely. The dialogue and jokes were for tiny children, like stuff out of an old joke book. I was sooooo bored, and couldn't wait for it to be over.
"the chris most likely to do his own research" is the funniest line i've ever heard from this channel
"Do a barrel roll..."
Gets me everytime 😂😂😂
Awesome trailer! YAHOO!! 🤩⭐
Best video game movie ever! Mostly cos Illumination actually used the source material. The lore, locations, references, easter eggs, and so much more! The movie isn't perfect, it has its issues, but it's still an adaptation done right at its core. And in the end that's all that matters. A fun theme park movie for everyone!
Casey Affleck was brutal and hilarious lmao
I feel like this is a reference I don't quite get, to the point that it just feels more like an insult to Luigi himself given the things Casey Affleck has been accused of supposedly doing.
@@MusicoftheDamned nah it's just how Casey is always overshadowed by his brother Ben
@@JohnnyBNerdy Ah. I somewhat figured that was joke, but given that ironically I have only ever heard opposite (at least in terms of actual acting), I wasn't sure. Thanks.
They already used it for the smash bros honest trailer. With even (isn't Ben) written
The Mario Movie is not just some generic kids movie. It's a video game movie that celebrates all things Mario and is meant for ALL Mario fans, young and old.
He is an Italian FROM Brooklyn who is very obviously at least a second generation american his accent would lean more Brooklyn New York than hammed up Italian. People really need to drop the accent complaint and be happy he didnt go all stereotype then there would be a whole other group complaining about how "problematic" Pratt is.
Yeah why would we want him to sound exactly like every game he has ever been a part of the past 30 years that had voices for him.....oh wait.....
They literally did the voices right in the commercial and should've just kept them the entire movie but instead needed name recognition instead so went with big name actors. They were the only two in the entire movie that didn't fit their part too which is sad considering they are the two main names of a mario bros cast...
Props to you for the Peaches song reference “F*** the Pain Away”👌🏻😙
That was pretty amazing
3:47 man the Smash logo made me lmao
Looked quite convincing too! Lol
I would kill for a Zack Snyder-directed Max Payne film (or better yet, a series)
Reallu proud of seth, he's come a long way since playing the gorilla that stole that dude's eye in the Congo movie. Much love from your high school bud, Seth
“So now we’re stuck with Chris Pratt for all eternity”
Aquafina: “Mind if I join in?”
We can all just agree that the end credits are the best part of this all.
Fair enough
No. We can not.
I didn’t care enough to even stay for the end credits.
The bramball was the best part no cap
@@mr.gameandwatch2018 Ugh...
Most fun I've ever had watching a movie with no plot. My 5 year old nephew absolutely loved it, and to be fair, it's definitely targeted to his age demographic
Favorite joke was "More Slo Mo Shots than Zack Snyder Directing a Max Payne Movie."
That one KILLED ME! 😂😂😂
I won't be able to unsee it from now on.
Wonder if i can get the epic voice to say. Your friendly neighborhood Aeropunk Sky Pirates Coalition. The sky isn't our limit.
This movie was definitely fun to watch. I've watched it 3 times now since I saw it in theaters. Yeah Rotten Tomatoes can suck it
😂 I watched this on cinema with my niece and nephew, we were really enjoyed it. For once they completely awake after the credit scene,
Zack Snyder directing a Max Payne movie is actually a very interesting idea
The Yoshi teaser at the very end is among the finer 1998 Godzilla jokes I've seen.
I had so much fun watching this movie. I hope this will lead into more fun video game adaptations. I'm hoping for Kirby and Ninja Gaiden down the road.
Ninja Gaiden? Fun? 😂
@@virgilhawkins5680 Sure. If it's rated R and has cool action sequences it could be fun. It's not like we're playing the game. That's hard work.
@@virgilhawkins5680 The problem is that Team Ninja may not be popular enough for that.
When that part about the slow-mo came up I thought of guardians 3 where the final battle felt like I was just playing a long quick time event sequence in a video game
He said what our local critic did: I didn't love it, but I'm sure if I took my kids, I'd have a blast watching them love it.
0:44 “he can throw his hat now, OOOOOH😱” 🤣🤣. Mario odyssey is where it’s at though, really good game. And AH don’t remind of the old mario movie
Please do an Honest Trailer for Star Wars Visions Volume 2
"the chris most likely to do his own research" had me ROLLING
It's so subtle yet so poignant
Lol same 😂 I was disappointed I had to scroll this far to find this comment tbh
I love this movie and its success, and I can't wait for the Donkey Kong spin-off.
And the sequel!
And possibly the Super Smash Bros Universe.
Hit it Illumination/Nintendo, I'm ready.
@@deensaid7762I still don't think a Nintendo cinematic universe would work
@@sonicfanboy3375 I think.
@@sonicfanboy3375 spoken like a true Sonic fanboy!
Thank you so much for uploading this on my birthday! :D
Zack Snyder directing a Max Payne movie 😂 That one had me
" Do a barrel roll." Appreciate the Starfox reference. 4:21
Luigi being kidnapped instead of Princess Peach was unpredictable instead of predictable.
Good thinking from the writers and Nintendo.
in 2023? Probably the most predictable thing ever
Yes, it's not just unexpected hero rescues damsel. It gave Mario the drive to save somebody who's close to him and having help from Peach not only progresses the established image of Peach being an independent fighter but also gives Mario and Peach time to develop a relationship. Luigi still could have used a little more screen time, but it was a smart choice.
You know for anyone who's going to say "that's not like the game" then you may be interested to know there actually was a real nintendo game called Super Princess Peach where Peach rescues Mario.
Passed up the chance to have great back and forth for longer in the movie and seeing the Mario Bros do Mario Bros moves and assists.
@@catdogmousecheese Right. And in a movie called “Princess Peach” I’d expect to see what I saw in this film. The Mario series was almost exclusively “plumber rescues princess from monster”. It deviated from that formula for some entries, but that was the core of the series. Should have started with that, then branched off. For Mario to not be needed in his own movie is a shame.
3:48 😂 I’m dying.
I was taught that peaches comes from a can, they were put there by a man in a factory downtown.
What else are in the teaches of Peaches?
2:33 Wait, I thought BOB, Mantis and "live-action" Pumba were in that one scene of the Rescue Rangers movie because of their eyes, they also all share a voice actor with Bob the Viking?
4:00 I wish that was my kid!!
This was a really good movie. Absolutely loved it!
I'm glad Charles Martinet got a cameo. Wahoo!
This movie looks great. I hope they make a video game on it
I'd like to think that the critic/audience divide just resulted in even more people watching it.
When he said “still lives with his mom” that’s when it made he question if they knew how much it actually cost to live in Brooklyn let alone 2023. It’s legit hard especially in New York city
I've seen the film twice now digitally and it is a masterpiece. I love the orchestral pieces of game music, all of the various Easter eggs and how well it is put together. Sure, Seth Rogan wasn't the best choice for DK, but he still did a great job with the role. There really wasn't any weak voice acting IMO. The ending did remind me a bit of "MegaMind".
I dont know how old you are but the movie was not that good... and the voice acting wasnt bad but totally wrong and couldve been 10000 times better with different voices. Bowsers voice was great except for the times he broke into his normal jack black voice everytime he sang and ruined it.
The slowmo caught me off guard, I did not catch that. Also I find the lack of Bowigi references disturbing
Please do all Night at the Museum movies!!!!
Honestly, can you imagine getting a Smash Bros Cinematic Universe? With Movie Mario, Movie Sonic, and maybe Movie pokemon, Zelda, Metroid, Megaman etc, all coming together like in Infinity War? That sounds awesome
Please do an honest trailer for the “Peacemaker show. Do you really wanna, do you really wanna tast it?! 😊
LOL that smash bros symbol too accurate! Oddly, I thought HT was gonna make a joke comparing this to Lego Movie and Free Guy
Loved the movie! Hope that a 2nd will be even better.
That line in Face/Off might be the best thing ever commit to film in John Woo's career.
Also, where''s my TMNT (1990) trailer? It's honestly one of the best adaptations to come out of the era and yet nothing. The well is dry.
