I kinda like the line where he says “I was finally going to be happy” after his wedding gets ruined. Demands to be explored a bit deeper. Also, kind of makes sense how, in line with the games, it implies he’s an orphan.
Eh doesn't really go well with the games- Movie Bowser clearly has a sad backstory, as he wasn't happy for his whole life apparently. Game Bowser may be an orphan, but he's definitely happy even without Peach or World Domination- he wants those because he's greedy, not because he's unhappy. He was spoiled rotten by Kamek and his minions since the day he was born, and they're extremely loyal and clearly love their king, so it doesn't really matter that he's an orphan when his whole army is basically his adoptive family. Movie Bowser clearly doesn't have that bond, since he literally put some of his minions in the cages to be burnt alive alongside the penguins and the Kongs.
There are a couple things I would like to bring up and that is that we actually DO know Bowser’s backstory in the games via the Yoshi games where he’s revealed to have been a rotten spoiled monster even when he was a baby and was raised by Kamek as a sorta father figure. Also, I wouldn’t call Bowser’s motivation in wooing Peach “adorable” as it honestly comes across more as a creepy stalker with an extremely lustful obsession and has no problem hurting or even killing his crush if she dares to not comply with everything he does. He’s the very definition of a toxic/abusive “lover” especially when his “love” for Peach is like I said a lustful obsession who wants to win over Peach showing that he views her more as an object to win rather than an actual person. Case in point, Bowser is a simp, but he’s a very toxic and dangerous simp.
I honestly hope they make Kamek the true villain to allow Kevin Michael Richardson to REALLY shine as a villain again. Bigger win if it's Yoshi's Island.
"serious fun", played seriously but with a comedic intent is a good way to describe his performance and why he was so good he had to be taken seriously, he was presented and treated as a very real threat by everyone at all times but he was funny because the situations they put him juxtaposed that with silliness
Call me crazy but Jack Black feels more authentic as Bowser than the original voice actor when voice acting in the cutscenes in Super Mario Sunshine ☀️
Not at all a crazy take. I don't know what guys like Arlo were talking about saying that this "is a good 'movie Bowser,' but not a good 'game Bowser.'" This is *better* than "game Bowser"!
@@PianistTanooki Uh no. Game Bowser is a far more developed, fleshed out and even funnier character with an even better personality than this Bowser lol. Movie Bowser is still great but Game Bowser is overall superior.
@@jayfilms99also Ganondorf is a character who is more complex than he first lets on. Especially his mainstream counterpart. Although all versions of Ganondorf that matter have 1 major thing in common. He’s intimidating as hell.
Jack Black is rocking with the role as Bowser that matches his intimidation and silliness, at least in the games like Super Mario RPG. Not only he's the King of the Koopa, he's also the Dragon Warrior... literally.
I loved Bowser in the movie. For some time, I’d seen the more silly side of Bowser. I’d forgotten just how menacing he could be. That red glare in his eyes, and the rage that burns everything to ashes, he was a real intimidating villian in this. You really thought he’d rip Luigi’s whole mustache off. I didn’t know just how well Black would be as Bowser. We don’t really hear many verbal lines from the Koopa King. But, he really got down that deep, gruff, gravely voice I imagined Bowser to have.
Honestly the movie made me say: "We need more games where bowser is the protagonist." Mario and Luigi: Bowser's inside story as odd as the game is.... it is still great game where we see bowser's antics on full display and playing as bowser made me feel real badass for some reason.
Damn straight. Jack Black is the only reason people even WATCHED this movie! Just like the only reason people watched “Ugly Sonic’s” franchise is because Jim Carrey was in it.
Black performed well, but I still think they could have slightly changed the pitch in his voice. Like guild wars 2 does with Steve Blum playing rytlock.
I kind of wished he was more similar to his games counterpart who was less cruel to his troops and his love for Peach was genuine(After She refused to marry him at the altar he tried to incenerate her NOT A GAME BOWSER THING.) But still; It was really good. Jack Black and Koopa King earned that 8/10.
@@jayfilms99 well at the end of Bowser Inside History he allow a group of traitors to stay in the army despite their previous betrayal towards him, showing that he can forgive; he also hate when his minions get brainwashed or something and i'm sure he don't burn them to the bone.
@@jayfilms99Not only are all Bowser's minions genuinely loyal to him out of respect and not out of fear, he gets furious when Fawful and Count Bleck put them in danger, in Legend of Seven Stars 2 of his minions left his army without his permission or knowledge, and when he finds out, instead of punishing them like any other dictator would, he tells them it's fine and even wishes them a good life. In the games he is always much less evil when he is either with his minions or his son- don't get me wrong, he doesn't mind hurting or insulting his minions.. a lot. He calls them worthless after his final fight with Mario in Mario 64, calls them idiots on many occasions, and in inside story, a few Bob-Ombs annoyed him and he breathe fire at them, only to then panic as they explode in his face lol. (Note, Bob-Ombs don't die when they explode.) But that is because he is short tempered, not because he doesn't care for his troops.
@@Paolo-ec2si Also... Erm ...in inside story, Bowser tries to incinerate her after Starlow annoyed him- and no, it's not because he noticed Mario,he notices Mario and gets even angrier AFTER he tried to incinerate Peach. And in inside story Peach we go in Bowser's brain and see that Peach was one of the things he cares the most about, sooooo yeah, despite her being one of the most things he cares about in that game, he still tried to incinerate her in the first few minutes of the game just 'cause Starlow annoyed him.
@@cbfranco3307no it was before, Mario actually jumps in front of Bowser as he was getting mad and that’s what causes him to breathe fire in a fit of rage.

He should’ve had more presence and they should saved the super star bit towards the end of the second act. It’s like in the second sonic movie if robotnik got the master emerald in the beginning of the movie it kills any and all stakes and removes a layer of threat of bowser.I don’t deny bowser being a bit of a goofball, he’s always been and I don’t deny bowser being cast as Jack black was a good call. I would’ve given him like a 7 or 8 out of 10 in a 6 out of 10 movie.
I felt sorry for Bowser while watching the entire movie. Surely he has got some backstory about his life as a child and how his whole life was filled with sadness.
Check out my review of Kingpin from Into the Spider Verse!

Jack Black's Bowser is a good balance of being a goofy simp, and an intimidating villian willing to do whatever he can for peaches
He also makes Bowser sexy

5:18 I'm starting notice that by the end of the movie his eyes have a small glow to them, just to really show how utterly pissed he is
Also, at 3:07
Gotta love that tiny but significant detail they put
"serious fun", played seriously but with a comedic intent is a good way to describe his performance and why he was so good
he had to be taken seriously, he was presented and treated as a very real threat by everyone at all times
but he was funny because the situations they put him juxtaposed that with silliness
Bowser is the best part of the movie
You're not wrong!
While all the voice acting was pretty great, especially the brooklyn accents for the mario bros - still, Bowser absolutely dominates this movie.
He's just a true villain.

Definitely my favorite character in the movie!
Same here!
Bowser was in all his glory! He’s as silly or menacing as the creative team needs him to be and flips well balenced between the two 🐉
Well said
His Nintendo Villain rival Ganondorf should get a turn eventually, especially with Tears of the Kingdom having released recently
100% agree
@@jayfilms99also Ganondorf is a character who is more complex than he first lets on. Especially his mainstream counterpart. Although all versions of Ganondorf that matter have 1 major thing in common. He’s intimidating as hell.
A Zelda movie would be great.
When i saw bowser in the mario movie, i was SURE in my mind that you would give the guy a 8/10, i feel very proud of myself for being right.
You got a great villain radar
Analyzing Evil: The Fabrication Machine aka B.R.A.I.N (from the Movie „9“)

Best Bowser since his old animated King Koopa days 😆
Fury Bowser pretty sick tho

HAIL KING KOOPA
If I’m not mistaken, Shigeru Miyamoto himself chose the actors for the movie

This version of Bowser outshines Dennis Hopper’s Koopa.
I’d like 👍 to see a Villain Review 🦹♂️ of Bowser from the Nintendo Power Super Mario Adventures comics
Yeah I’m definitely gonna do more versions of Bowser in the future
@@jayfilms99yeah, however not all of them are as good as the animated movie Bowser. For example President Koopa is godawful
He stole the movie because he's Jack Black.
Jack *black*
💀
Damn straight.
Jack Black is the only reason people even WATCHED this movie!
Just like the only reason people watched “Ugly Sonic’s” franchise is because Jim Carrey was in it.
Billy from Stranger Thing is a solid villain review in my opinion.
Great choice
If they don't use bowser as a good or just neutral in sequel I will crash my switch into pieces
Black performed well, but I still think they could have slightly changed the pitch in his voice. Like guild wars 2 does with Steve Blum playing rytlock.
I don’t know why, but Jack Black bowser’s facial expression reminds me of Pete from the Mickey Mouse series
Same eye-in-the-skull structure.

s me of bowser from the M&L series
don't give to much credit to the writing staff, I heard Nintendo had to twist their arm to get the movie they wanted.
The writing ain’t perfect I’m this movie by any means but all the stuff with bowser is the highlight writing wise imo
@@jayfilms99 they do good writing as long they kept on a tight leash.
Jack Black’s bowser is definitely me because I’m also looking for love as well.

He is a 100/100 villain in the movie and in the games.
I really prefer the Nintendo version because he was r a stereotype and had heartwarming moments this one is a stereotype with nothing
Unfortunately I thought he was pretty mid.
