Review of The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) by Rightingwrongs — 02 May 2023
I have to be honest, this movie would have been far better if the voice actors had been better. Donkey Kong was just Seth Rogan, Mario was just Chris Pratt with a slight accent/voice.
They just sounded like the celebrities rather than the characters I know and that removed me from the experience.
I also felt like they could've done so much more with the source material, so many missed opportunities for references and ways to blend story and game together.
I feel like a load of executives influenced the film and it wouldn't surprise me if those executives were more on the Illumination side of things, rather than the Nintendo side.
It wasn't entirely unpleasant, it got some laughs and I enjoyed a fair amount of the film. But it just could have been so much better.
If I was an 8 year old kid, the film was a riot and great, 9 or 10.
As an older fan of the games, could've been better.
