Before release: "Wow this movie looks amazing. Gonna see it"
Critics give it poor reviews: "Pfff this shyt looks trash."
Some of y'all are legit sheep.

Regardless of the reviews this movie is going to make bank. But y’all need to stop with this. It’s just a kids movie rhetoric. When Disney, Pixar, and Miyazaki has been putting out bangers. That can be put against. Some of the best live action films. Like I said before they made a Lego movie. And that shyt was dope af.
All that really happened was people who aren't Mario fans got a hold of this and it got exposed. The best judge of these video game adaptations is how do the people who aren't fans of the game feel about it? Fans of the property judge it on a curve.
I'm not a fan of League of Legends. Never played it and had zero knowledge of it. The Netflix series Arcane despite that fact is a masterpiece. Your knowledge of League of Legends is irrelevant to that. I'm also not really into Castlevania. That Netflix show is amazing despite that.

Too much dope animation out for me to sit and listen to that “kids movie” nonsense. Netflix managed to make a compelling movie out of Santa Clause

I get what you're saying..but I think there's merit in creating an adaptations that puts the fans first.
I still need to watch League of Legends.

This movie looks like ass and the actor voicing Peach sounds like she's on downers.
It'll still do big numbers because of all the fanservice, though.

Just got back from seeing this with my kids in the theater.... Movie was excellent!.. I recommend watching it whether u got kids or not.... Very entertaining and they stuck to the story for the most part.... I'm excited to see part 2...
I thought they was gonna bring out Yoshi for the battle scene but glad he'll make an appearance in the sequel

i enjoyed it. a lot of context for the characters and even for some of the game mechanics. lots of action and absurd comedy. the funniest thing about it was them making bowser an insufferable simp. son had it bad and it was hilarious .well eworth checking out. and the theatre was packed
This was pretty solid. Honestly? If you watched the trailer, you get what you came for and if you played the games before, you’ll have a crazy amount of appreciation for the references they implement here.
I’m not a fan of Illumination’s comedy style nor the constant needle drops, but I can’t fault them here for how formulaic this came across at times when the base game’s story is simple as is. They did well all things considered. I didn’t find the movie to be as bad as the critics were making it out to be either. Structure definitely could’ve used some more work and I think the film could’ve been a lot better had they managed to allow most scenes to breathe throughout, but other than that? shyt was escapism for me.
Regarding the structure though, the movie felt like someone doing a speed-run when I want to take my time to immerse myself in this world. I mean sure, I can whip out the Switch right now and take care of that issue no problem, but it’s something that came across as a pet peeve in an otherwise solid film adaptation.
All that being said, the kids will lose their minds over this and the long-time fans will have a hell of a time on the nostalgia ride. shyt, I still had a fun ass time with it. The animation was straight up eye candy. There’s so much untapped potential in this world that I’m hoping the sequel will dive at.
