Review of The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) by Kdog152 — 14 Apr 2023

Nintendos second try at an adaptation of one of their beloved game series, (Well at least up until super mario bros Wii, the series went a bit down hill from then) and is it good (unlike the original 1996 adaptation which was abysmal)? Hell yeah. Nobody cares what the critics have to say as they're notorious for their sh*tty reviews.

The animation is probably the best to come out of illumination, the amount of Easter eggs (such as anti-gravity from Mario kart 8 and rainbow road, music Easter eggs such as the music from the gusty garden galaxy in super mario galaxy and the secret levels in the 3D mario games and tons more, heck the cat suit even made an appearance!) in it was incredible and the story itself was a masterpiece. It's so good that they didn't go the safe ruit and just do the usual Princess Peach gets kidnapped by bowser and Mario goes to save her, as that plot line is unfortunately overused in the Mario series and the film probably would have been bad if they did go with that kinda plot. This film was very funny and Chris Pratt did a great job voicing Mario. It's certainly better than the first Sonic the hedgehog movie, but in my opinion, it's not as good as Sonic the hedgehog 2.

Fantastic film, can't wait for what in store for the future.
