Sonic walking into that post credit scene asking Mario about the Smash Bros Initiative was fucking wild
Doomguy and Isabelle having a tea party was my favorite part
Cloud being traumatized by Sephiroth was a great background touch; almost missed it.
Lol
You joke, but that's gonna come eventually
Seeing Bowser Jr. steal a wand from E. Gadd was such a deep cut. Very emotional post credit scene
Luigi’s ringtone is the GameCube startup music…thought that was a nice touch
Super cool!
Yup! I caught that. Love the Easter eggs. And the punch out picture under the TV after the commercial in the beginning
I got hyped just from that 🤣 I love my Gamecube!
Additionally when they were on the rainbow road and mario turned off the road to get to the other part of the road I appreciated that fan service
i had a feeling that was a reference to one of the rainbow roads.
Anyone who spent countless time in mario Kart 64 was like, "Hey! He did the thing!"
@@kennard3106 YESS! I literally saw it and said “if he don’t --he did it!!!” Lol
We took our kids. My 5 yo son LOVES Mario - wanted to dress up as Mario to go to the movie. His little sister insisted on dressing up as Peach. They were beyond excited.
After the movie, my son kept saying “I loved the Mario movie!” over and over. We all loved it. And you’re right - we all want to see more. Either to see it again or to eventually get a sequel.
The movie's biggest victory is that it captures the soul of Mario beautifully.
Absolutely!!
I was smiling the whole time🔥
**PROUDLY TAKES THE """L"" bro hat for that ending** LETS A GOOOO
You mean, because it copies the video game bit for bit, without trying to do anything on its own merit? Yep.
@@sblagg527 Shut up Grace!
The perfectly timed ♪Da da da da da duuun♫ when Mario and Luigi went into the sewers and the sign Level 1-2 appeared was perfection of an Easter egg.
Oh I missed that. Can't wait to buy it to see all the stuff I missed earlier today.
I saw the sign but fuck I totally didn't connect it. Nice!
I know!!!! I loved when Luigi's phone rang and it was the starting up tune from the Nintendo Gamecube
@@andresgonzalez2413 wow I totally missed that one. Thanks for the heads up. Going to see a second viewing this week. I’ll make sure to keep that in mind.
That's second only to the sequence where Mario and Luigi run to get to their first customer and the obstacles they have are exactly like level 1-1 of the first game. Including the flagpole and the castle. Delightful reference.
On the one hand I was hoping that Bowser would be a pretty serious villain based off of the opening scene but the entire movie just being Bowser trying to marry Peach was funny and extremely accurate to the games haha
It's definitely been a while since I laughed as hard as I did at Luma saying "MERCY!" when it was announced that they were going to be sacrificed. Best joke in the movie, easily.
The Mario movie got Bowser's personality 100% accurate. A better-than-you, self-righteous, self-absorbed, and selfish hot-head who was unintentionally a complete goofball whenever he's not hamming up his evil side.
He was still very serious.
I even felt his rage when he saw Mario together with Peach.
It was like "Bowser Inside Story" where he abit silly but serious when he needs to be.
@@Ineedgames yup I was off shrooms earlier when I watched the film. So the emotional scenes got me like baby Mario and Luigi and the conversation peach had with Mario. At the end when bowser got serious I did indeed feel the rage in him… even Mario was a bit defeated but you had dk toad and peach attempting to bring him down while he was talking smack to Mario while he was hunched over the punch out pizzeria. Bowser was definitely brought to life in the most magical way possible. I lost it when he burned the koopa and it turned into dry bones 😂😂
I died at Luma saying "Fresh meat for the grinder!" When the new prisoners arrived.
Lumalee cracked me up and Jack Black was shockingly perfect as Bowser. JB created his own unique new character voice for Bowser. I am a Jack Black fan and wouldn’t have minded his natural voice at all, but he did such a great job creating a character voice that it didn’t feel like Jack Black at all. It wasn’t UNTIL he started singing that it was a obvious who it was and for those scenes it fit so perfectly and you realize exactly why he was meant to be Bowser. He is crazy talented vocally and so dang funny!
I laughed a lot and I actually teared up a lot. I enjoyed t guys movie so much! ❤
I liked how the humor revolved around references to video games. Like banana peels tripping Karts, shrinking mushrooms, and Bowser’s crush on Peach. As a fan of the video games those were fun and cool to watch. I was worried they would do pop culture or fart jokes as the humor, but gladly they’re not here.
I also liked how many times Mario fails and gets beat up. It’s like me in the videos games. I always fall off platforms and die. I know the game over tune well too good. I retry and beat the level. Just as Mario did in the movie.
Never giving up is literally perfect characterization for Mario
Oh the fart jokes will come......when HE enters the movies
@@couchpotato2222 Ohhhh, I know who you mean. 😂
@@couchpotato2222 wah hah hah! >:D
I didn’t like how it was about Mario always getting up but he wins by becoming invincible? feels like it ran counter to the only character development in the entire movie.
The good thing about the easter eggs is a lot of them made sense for the story. None of them seem forced in even while there were a lot of them. They all flowed and
made sense for what the characters were trying to do. I felt the same way about the use of classic Mario tunes in the movie. It felt very organic.
They absolutely should make a Legend of Zelda movie. They could also absolutely get away with Link not talking by going with the whole Snake Eyes thing where he doesn’t speak because of something in his backstory.
I was thinking more anime done by studio MAPPA only because I think a movie would be to short
@@virusklaxsosaur4054 that’s totally fair. I don’t really watch tv shows tbh, but I think they could make a movie series of The Legend of Zelda. They would just have to make sure that it’s the right director, writers, actors, etc.
And make fun of the fact that Zelda is not his name 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I want a Zelda movie, but not made by Illumination proper. Instead give it to Moonlight, Illumination's new division for mature/adult animation, or another Comcast studio... oh hey, they just bought Dreamworks a couple years ago, didn't they?
@@INRamos13 I would be pretty excited if DreamWorks did it!
My Top 10 Moments of The Super Mario Bros Movie...
1. I liked how they incorporated the old school SMB song intro with high pitch voices then panned to Mario and Luigi talking better to start movie.
2. Loved Mario saying "It's-a-mee" when he's in the air after Peach yells out his name. He looked cute and it's funny. Poor guy.
3. Loved the yellow catsuit getting screen time, it truly is adorable and the reason I sometimes replay Super Mario 3D World.
4. Seth Rogans close up laugh as Donkey Kong when Mario is small is cheesy but made me laugh.
5. The ending when they get the star the classic music it plays is awesome to me.
6. Jack Black trying to be evil at the same time trying to show he has heart is hysterical.
7. Princess Peaches blue eyes like in the flower field at night the animation is strikingly gorgeous.
8. The whole 🌈 Mario Kart segment of course.
9. The music montage-like of Mario and Donkey Kong running and kicking butt... its a good mixture of everything.
10. Toad. He's cute.
agree but you didn't mention anything related to the story so you proved the movie isn't that good :)
@@FireJach u seem fun at parties
number 4 was when i realised who was playing him.
Christopher Walken as Cranky Kong would of been GOLDEN. 😂
I felt personally called out by Jeremy when he talked about Peach’s arch game
👀👀📸🤔
When she rode past Mario and looked back at him… have to say the camera stayed on her for quite a few seconds haha
🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑
@@BearsFanGoomba They knew what they were doing lol
I’m a woman and noticed that aswell😂
Saw it with my wife and daughter. The moment the first trailer dropped, my kid and I were excited! And we watched it together laughing and having fun all the time. It was a dream come true!
Really? A "DREAM COME TRUE" for you was a Super Mario Bros movie? LOL!!!!!
@@sblagg527 shut
Took my kids to see this movie, it was their first ever movie theater experience, and left pleased and wanting more.
I don’t get why so many people are complaining about the plot. It was exactly what I wanted out of a Mario movie. A goofy fun adventure with wholesome character moments in between
The plot was awesome! Haters gonna hate lol
It's literally a Mario plot. What more would they want?
I mean come on, one of the games has Mario and a sentient hat going around the world. Why are people wanting this to be Lord of the Rings quality?
@@andrewdowns3673 A plot that was good. You fanboys are the worst.
The plot was great, I think is the pacing that was the issue. The movie moves too fast to the end for me to enjoy somethings. I wish it was 2 hours to better pace the story a bit. But overall I loved the movie
Saw it last night. FUN Movie! Had a smile on my face the whole time and the nostalgia, easter eggs, and overall feel of the movie brought joy. Definitely a love letter to fans. Really hope the movie does well. No the story is not super intricate but it's old school Mario Bros plot. Bowser the bad guys, someone needs help, hero's are needed, and they do it while facing immense peril and a fun overall tone with references to many Nintendo properties that will have fans happy til the end.
Ah dude I was grinning from ear to ear! I loved it!! 😃
I was grinning for so much of it. Absolutely had a blast
@@DonnovanThomas929 I wanna see it again already! Lol
Well in five days its made nearly 600million world wide and it cost 100mil to make... so I'd say its done well all right :D
The baby Mario and Luigi scene was very touching to me…and the final showdown was honestly so worth it. The movie is just okay but Mario and Luigi battling together had me almost cheering in my seat!
The movie being okay is great in my books, considering this is from Illumination
very touching? it was a typical boring lazy scene what doesn't add any value to the story because we already knew Mario is that brave strong brother. And if you love Luigi you should be mad he was in the dungeon for the whole time and had nothing to do, no space to act, grow, be important.... The movie's fun but super avarage.
@@FireJach Agreed! I was thinking about that scene. It was pointless. It didn't do anything. We already knew that Mario would protect his brother, we saw that from the start when they were separated. It was just a "Look, we did the baby forms too!"
The whole movie felt very empty to me.
@@FireJach 🤡
@@kidunderabridge I believe the point of the flashback scene, including the following shot of a contemplative Luigi, is that it sets up the motivation for him to be brave and save Mario from Bowser in the third act
All the characters were great but man the characterization of Bowser was PERFECT. Literally zero complaints, they captured everything that makes Bowser both an intimidating and funny villain, depending on the game. Jack Black understood this role on every level and the writers gave him fantastic material to play with. When the scene opened with him at the piano I was so fuckin excited, just what a joy.
The wide gap between audience reviews and critics reviews is another perfect example why imdb is the best place to look up how good a movie is. It contains the opinions of critics, fans and casuals all in one score and you get a pretty accurate rating for how good a movie or series is, which in this case currently sits at 7.5 and is pretty spot on for this movie.
If IMDB don't like it, I ain't watching
I dunno about that
The higher the critic score the more woke it is. The lower the score the more acceptable it is for 98% of the population
Imdb 😂😂😂😂
Good joke. No way to prove have the people rating something on there have even seen what they are rating.
@@chadd587 That's the most idiotic statement possibly ever put to youtube. The movie is NOT good, many times the critics have it right WAAYY over the audience.
Two moments that made me audibly gasp in the theater:
The GameCube jingle on Luigis phone.
When they first got to Rainbow Road and you hear a remix of the SNES Rainbow Road theme.
Goosebumps!!
The music was magical 🤩
I’m just sad that Lou Albano, Danny Wells, and Bob Hoskins are no longer with us.
That would have been an epic set of cameos, like a whole Mario family.
Peach's obstacle course felt like a Mario Maker giving other people their level having used the metadata to build it around their perfect jumps
Dude I was thinking the same thing!
My boyfriend said the same thing!
Honestly I wasn't expecting much but it was a fun, simple, nice movie. Seeing characters I grew up with on screen was just fun. When Mario was running the obstacle course and started running with his hands and arms out before he swan dives off of the brick path, I was stoked. So many animation bits that were from the game. Loved it 🙌
Jesus Christ. So basically what you're saying is that there didn't even have to be a decent story- just as long as he copies his antics from the video game made you "stoked" for the film?
@@sblagg527 i mean… yea
@@sblagg527 when the movie kinda sucks but mario runs good 😮😮😮
@@sblagg527 It's Mario bro. Were you expecting Shakespeare?
@@waltermidi Movie was amazing.
Every studio wants to have that epic use of Bonnie Taylor's "I Need A HERO" song.....BUT not none shall be as epic as when it was in the final montage in SHREK 2!
True facts
True
Short Circuit 2 says "Hi."
Did somebody order a COLOSSAL GINGERBREAD MAN?
Regular Show:
The outfit that Charles Martinet's character had in the beginning of the movie was similar to the original outfit Mario had in the 1991 version of Donkey Kong. The outfit was just a little more faded than normal. It was a nice addition to have him do the jump he did in that game too.
Fresh out the theatre in Vietnam here! There were just a few men and women, and a row of rowdy schoolboys in front of me, probably because it's Friday evening. Everyone had a blast. All the adults laughed along with the boys.
I had no trouble following the plot even with next to zilch knowledge of Mario; my parents were purely Sony/PS when it comes to games. My twin brother and I grew up with Crash Bandicoot as our Mario. And I literally bought Mario Kart 8 and played it for the first time days ago to prepare. And as a writer myself, I feel it's pretty clever how they incorporated the most iconic elements of the games into the plot. It feels weaved into, mostly seamless.
The story was simple, your regular hero's journey. And very fast-paced. I agree it could've slowed down a bit and added more emotional flashbacks, but even what little we got of Peach's backstory is both sad and beautiful. And a mystery we perhaps could delve into in later installments. (I LOVE that exchange between her and Mario. So touching and bittersweet. Mario suggesting Peach could've come from our world, but Peach accepting the fact that she might never know her family, with just how many worlds there are out there. But hey, she found her home in the Toads that she would protect at all costs, and the universe is vast and full of possibilities!)
Having an impossible to please Asian Dad and a twin brother, I can relate to the angst and feels of the story right away. The climax really tugged at my heartstrings.
I think we're all tired of gritty realism and complex, epic plotlines now. So such a simple but timeless story of an underdog who never gives up and becomes a hero is such a breath of fresh air.
The movie hits theatres in Japan in late April, and I'll be watching it again in higher quality when I return.
I think the movie also does well in terms of storytelling techniques. Like a good novel would, it does a great job establishing its villain as a credible threat early on, and never lets us forget. Bowser's simping is cleverly interspersed with moments of evil and raw power, so he never ceases to feel like a menace. I also love how the movie foreshadows Mario's gift in the scene where he races to his first client's house, and how he basically grew up playing platform games. So his mastering of the real thing later on doesn't seem out of nowhere.
Both of you made very valid points. I felt like they gave Luigi and Mario more of a background than people realize. Seeing their big family around the dinner table and realizing how inadequate Mario feels. And at the very end, both of his parents are proud of him. It's a great hero's journey. My nine year old loved it and so did I. I cant wait to buy it again so we can watch it with my husband and catch eveyething I missed the first time.
@@jeidafei1165 Mario playing "platform games" growing up seems a bit of a paradox! As SMB literally invented them.
I was fascinated by the idea of him playing an NES that, apparently, didn't feature him. I think such a game console would be very obscure in that world
Plus Peach talking about her past and mentioning "galaxies" might suggest a tie between her and Rosalina
The country that invented Mario. The country that first got a Nintendo Theme Park land. Somehow they get the Mario movie last, as they usually do, but you’d think this movie would be the exception.
I’ll never trust anyone who says this is a bad movie. There were a couple cringey little kid jokes, but the smile on my face was WAY too big for me to care.
Me too. This was A+
What little kid jokes? I didn't see anything that everyone couldn't enjoy.
Multiple people I trust didn't enjoy this film....
I guess you didn't like the humor in the Mario & Luigi RPGs?
It's a bad movie; quit fanboying.
You have to admit that it was an excellent choice for a Jack Black casting. That music was excellent, a great blend of characters making it and it just being put with the scene.
When I first saw King Boo and King Bomb-omb I was so excited considering the fact that there had been NO mention of them appearing in the film so that was a nice surprise. Plus despite King Bob-omb blowing up I hope he will come back in a future film as King Bob-omb blows up all the time and he STILL comes back.
RIP King Bob-omb 👑 😢
I find the conversation around references to be super fascinating. People are suddenly giving Sonic the Hedgehog a hard time because of a lack of references, when the story for both movies are fine. And the characterizations of Sonic and Co are on point, which is what a lot of fans were concerned about given how he was in the meta era of Sonic games.
That's the important thing when it comes to making a franchise movie like these. The story is what matters, the references are the icing on the cake. And it's IMPORTANT to be different anyways. Mario went balls to the wall and people are having a good time with it. Sonic is going the slow world building route, and people appreciated how many references were NATURAL feeling in the second film...and it's gonna be worth it in movie 3 when we get to Shadow. But this was just a fun time all around which is also fine.
Yeah, also I feel like Mario has an advantage when it comes to references considering he’s the most popular fictional character in the world. With the possible exception of hello kitty.
The wedding part in sonic 2 was odd... I loved the gamey parts of the movie.
I kinda hate how people are obssessed with "references". This whole shit started with the dudes in tights movies. Everything's a reference now! The movie is set in the world of Super Mario bros. Having a god damn Super Mario level, character or thing in the backgroud isn't a reeference... it's part of said universe.
@@samus88 The WHOLE FILM is just a reference to the video game series, therefore not a "film."
Sonic had lots of references though, and personally found them very clever.
During the wedding scene a Yoshi egg was placed down as one of the gifts. I for real thought Yoshi was gonna pull up at the end. He was the only guy out of like the Mario A-cast that wasn’t in the movie. Next film hopefully we branch out with Wario, Waluigi, Daisy, and some others. Maybe Wario and Waluigi can break Bowser out of his tiny cage
There is a after credit scene with the yoshi egg breaks hinting of a sequel
@@solcarlosofficial yeah I know. It feels like between the wedding scene and the part where they walk through the Yoshi Island they could’ve teased someone else instead of Yoshi. Yoshi is a given in the sequel
What is the lore behind wario and waluigi ? Are they cousins? Imposters? Fans?
@Vic Wario is Mario's childhood friend/enemy/rival. In the case of Waluigi, no one knows. The implication is that he was just some random schmuck Wario grabbed when he needed a doubles partner in Mario Tennis.
@@thebutterstick8659 I was hoping the movie would end with Bowser falling into lava, only for the post-credits to reveal Dry Bowser
Not gonna lie, the heartfelt moments combined with the nostalgia storm in the third act literally brought a tear to my eyes. And Lumalee was not in it enough!!!!😂😂😂
In the last act I literally got chills when they emerged from the smoke at the end in super form
I remember getting the Super Mario Bros. Super Show DVDs at Blockbuster when I was younger because I thought the idea of a Mario cartoon was epic and it was the closest thing I got to a Mario animated movie before this
Took 30 years
There was a Japanese anime movie based on super mario.
@@salve9921 it was never released in America though, aside from RUclips fandubs/captions.
One of my favourite touches in this movie was when they were making the carts, a rendition of the mario kart 8 kart assembly theme played. It was very on the nose but that attention to detail is incredible.
Bowser singing about Peach was hilarious! I low key have the song stuck in my head lol
Your feeling about the statement that Peach got through the obstacle course on the first try is pretty valid. But I kinda took it, even on my first viewing, in her backstory that she had literally been trained for the obstacle course by the Toads. So when she actually did the obstacle course, she did it on her first try. XD That's just my takeaway though.
100% my thoughts exactly. You can train for an obstacle course while NOT training on the obstacle course. Also, I thought Jeremy's 'you can't be good at a world's obstacle course just because you're from that world' argument wasn't a solid one because the movie showed us that Mario is good at parkour/"platforming" in Brooklyn. He just needed to get used to the new world to get better. Which he did. Making Peach's line valid.
The only issue is they give Peach this treatment the entire movie. You can feel the writers afraid to throw anything at her seriously. As an example, instead of having a nice sentiment about how not everyone gets it on the first try, they are afraid to show her having any flaws. So she "got it on his first try." It actually makes sense for Mario to struggle at this point in his heroes journey. In fact almost everyone struggles in this film somewhere except Peach. She nobly goes along with Bowser to save her kingdom. Crashes her own wedding. Stops Luigi from dying. She freezes Bowser and only gets knocked down by her own attack. It's just so noticeable.
Then, I found out that Nintendo had to compel illumination constantly to redefine character roles. That she had to have a lesser role so Mario could actually be the hero of his own film, it made sense why they were pulling punches.
There is clearly a lot of love Nintendo wanted in the film. And I think it is definitely enjoyable. I just dislike this idea that modern heroes go through no strife to show how perfect they are.
@@AshtonTheMelon She failed A LOT.
@@dave_the_slick8584 Can you please explain to me where?
@@AshtonTheMelon Lost the Kongs, got Mario in mortal peril, forced to evacuate, forced to accept Browser's proposal, failed to save the prisoners, and ultimately needed Mario and Luigi to actually defeat Bowser.
This notion that she was perfect is fucking stupid.
I really wanna see a Star Fox movie.
My most wanted adaptation
That would be AMAZING
yes, I noticed the "holding out for a hero" song popping up in the films lately. (Shazzam 2, Tetris & Super Mario Bros movie)
This has got to be one of my favorite movies I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end Credits, I felt they did nostalgia and references smoothly not forced or reaching, rainbow road was one of the best parts, bowsers song is a freaking hit
My favorite easter eggs were:
- Punch Out Pizzeria with Little Mac's gloves, champion belt and portraits of all the fighters.
- Charles Martinet as Jump Man and Mario's Dad was good. Mario's dad sounded a little like Warrior.
- Mario has an Arwing model on his TV, plays Kid Icarus and has a F-Zero poster on his wall.
- Also Disk-kun, mascot of the Famicom Disk System has a store called after him.
The piano Bowser plays on says " Ludwig Von Koopa" which is a reference to the Kooplings
If there’s a sequel, I hope we get the Koopa kids!
And their Doomships too. Wonder who would voice them all.
There will be.. 100% sure… Especially because of the end credit scene
I would like to see Wario and Waluigi
Would 2025 or 2026 be too early? Lol left a lot of us wanting more and we prob won't get anymore for a long while
Ludwig was referenced on Bowser's piano and the kooplings (with Jr as their leader) would make great antagonists for the sequel.
That scene of Mario and DK going wild and trying to make their way to Bowser was just pure joy for me. Saw it in 3D, liked that they sampled music from the games, & the Tanooki suit was the cherry on top 🍁😭
The huh at 8:00 took me out😂
My 7-year-old daughter LOVED this movie, and was highly anticipating it for months. She's played most of the contemporary Mario games and a few that I grew up with on the NES and SNES so between all the musical scores, enemies, few bosses (like King Bomb-omb and King Boo), and items, she got a good number of references. She was laughing a bunch, got a little scared at the dry bones scene with Luigi (I was kinda hoping to see more Boos in the abandoned castle and more overt nods to Luigi's Mansion), and was glued to the screen the entire time.
Meanwhile, I'm smiling like a goof throughout the film with references which I got instantly, from Punch-Out Pizzeria (and all the art there) to various glimpses of old SMW maps, iconography, and more. I absolutely loved how they incorporated Rainbow Road into the movie - and Mario Kart in general. The blending of games to make this movie work I thought was so Miyamoto.
Related to him: it's clear a lot of love went into this film. Yes, it's a corporate creation, but this is also Nintendo we're talking about. And as a lifelong Nintendo fan (been playing since 1987) , I not only felt very satisfied with the movie overall, but I intend to see it at least one more time while it's in theaters.
Also... consider me a new subscriber!
The easter egg that stood out to me the most was honestly Mario playing Kid Icarus on NES. It made me realize that while we’re all understandably demanding adaptations of Zelda and Star Fox, I’d argue Kid Icarus is a Nintendo property that deserves one just as much. I highly recommend Kid Icarus: Uprising on 3DS to get where I’m coming from, one of the most underrated games of all time.
Yeah, I agree. I can honestly imagine Sakurai announcing on a Nintendo Direct or his channel that a Clash of the Titans-esque Kid Icarus movie is in the works, lol.
Man, I really wish Sakurai would unclench his hold and let Uprising be ported to the Switch.
Saw it this morning. It is a fun family movie. The animation is beautiful on screen and the cinema had lots of parents taking there young kids to a family friendly movie. Really enjoyed it.
My favorite Easter egg was when Bowser is announcing his plan to his army, and we hear his band play the Fury Bowser theme from Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. I was not expecting that at all, but it was very welcome. The Glass Joe and Bear Hugger picture cameos are a close second, I’ll take any Punch-Out nods I can get.
my fave easter egg was "Ludwig von koopa" imprinted on bowser's piano.
such a cool nod to the blue haired koopaling who is known for playing the piano (badly).
oh and cat mario was cool too😂
Speaking of nailing the score, I'm a big fan of Godzilla and I was happy that Bear McCreary used Akira Ifukube's original theme. It made me so happy.
Peach on that bike did things to me
I loved this movie, it was so much damn fun. Growing up playing the games since I got a Nintendo for my like 4th or 5th birthday and got the combo SMB + Duck Hunt cartridge. 37 now and still get giddy whenever I hear about a new mainline Mario game haha. I'm so glad they built the world out and now gave oppertunities to take the stories anywhere.
Are you a bot? Seriously.
@@sblagg527 ...what about my response would make you think I was a bot?
I expected the Yoshi tease, but as the movie ended and we couldn't still see what would be, I had a glorious, hopeful glimpse, that instead of an egg we would see a star and hear "Poyo". I was so ready for Kirbs 🥺
Praise to the pink boi
That Yoshi teaser at the end really got to me. I pray they do him well in the sequel. The five year old inside me has been yearning for a good Mario and Yoshi story my whole life, and I will be waiting for the day the next movie comes. I hope it delivers a Mario/Yoshi story.
The biggest overlooked animated film is Puss In Boots The Last Wish and I hope people give it a chance.
Was better than this film overall just doesn't have the nostalgia level.
I wish I saw it in theatres, would’ve been the perfect movie to see
I don't think it's overlooked at all. It's garnered universal praise and literally was nominated for best animated picture at the Oscars.
It got snubbed by Pinocchio
It’s forgettable
Bro I don't even watch half the movies you review but I always watch the reviews. Love ya stuff bro!
"I try to keep things kid-friendly"
Immediately uses the s-word and launches into a discussion of weed and black tar heroin
BTW, about peach doing the course once. She is the most op character in Mario. The only one who can fly on demand. So makes sense she can do the course the first time, and I think it's an allude to how op she is. In fact most people picks her in Mario 2 just so they have a chance of completing the game.
I want a live action Metroid movie so bad. I have no idea why they haven’t even considered making one yet. It shouldn’t be that hard to do it right.
Ikr?
I have good news for you! They did that in 1979, it's a little movie called 'Alien'. There are even sequels.
No they should make every Nintendo movie cgi and then it all culminates into a smash bros movie. It can be like mortal kombat.
I mean, they kinda tried with Metroid: Other M, and it was...oof.
Actually that would be as difficult and costly as Halo or Mass Effect.
Plus, they would just screw it up anyway so I’d rather they didn’t.
DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR THE GAMECUBE START UP SOUND ON LUGI RINGTONE 😂😂😊😊 LOVED THAT ❤❤❤❤
Yup I caught that.
Saw it this morning with my mom and we were both in love with it. Yes it’s for kids and it’s certainly not a “deep” movie but that’s not what I want from my Mario movie. This captured the feeling wonderfully, the music rocked and the Easter eggs were just that, stuff in the background that they didn’t feel the need to get fixated on long. If you know, you know and that’s perfect. I felt the D&D movie did it the same way. Neither one went like “see see it’s duck hunt and a hex blade spell” or whatever. Both just breezed by it. The movie moves along, I do agree the kart section felt like it lacked a bit of tension, someone else could’ve punched that part up a bit but overall I loved the movie.
Pros:
1. The animation is fantastic.
2. The world is beautiful.
3. The orchestra is $sublime.
4. The action set pieces are great.
5. The voice cast did an amazing job.
I know this is a children's movie, yet there are things the movie did badly. It is after all a movie just like any movie.
Cons:
1. The 80's pop/rock songs did not really fit the Super Mario universe.
2. Unfortunately, I am going to include a topic that can't be talked about: Strong female characters. Peach was way too perfect. They force that strong female character way too hard into our throats through Peach. She has no flaws whatsoever even in the beginning! She reminds me of Rey in the Star Wars movies: Perfect. Quotes like "That's so princess of you", "He (Mario) does not matter". Yuck. Plus, she is the one who teaches Mario to be Mario, it absolutely doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Peach is included way too much in the movie. Just call this movie "The Super Peach Movie" already. All I ask for the filmmakers is to include an honest, real, flawed women in a movie, but not anymore. We need more Ellen Ripleys not Captain Marvels.
3. Luigi is constantly the victim in this movie. He is basically the damsel in distress for the whole movie. They did Luigi's character injustice. He only had one moment in the whole movie. Wow.
Con #2 was on point
Peach grew up in that world. Mario didn’t.
Also, she failed to beat Bowser on her own. So clearly she’s not perfect.
Bowser reminded me of Dark Helmet, and I loved it.
Bowser playing piano was Meatloaf 100%.
We're finally getting movies (and TV shows) based on videogames that manage to stick the landing, because the makers respect the source material. Or know exactly how players experience the game and want to recreate the feeling for cinema.
It was definitely a fun time. Our daughter was geeking out the entire time. When they were selecting their karts, just like in the game, was a nice touch. Catsuit Mario and Tanooki were great.
A great movie for the fans. Spectacle and fan service at its finest and most fun. Didn’t expect more of a “story” and didn’t want anything more.
This is a reasonable comment. 👍 I enjoyed it for the nostalgia and beautiful animation however I didn't laugh that often. My kid loved it. I could've waited for streaming. Sometimes critics and fans are correct lol
Ummm-- You don't want a story in a medium that exist TO TELL STORIES??? Maybe you should stick to the video games-- it's obvious you have no clue when it comes to film.
@@sblagg527 you people wanted some groundbreaking story from a Mario movie when the source material has literally never been deeper than surface level. It follows that wonderfully and it’s fun. Your brain is rotted by all the movie video essays you watch that tell you every movie has to be deep or else it’s not good.
My mom seemed to enjoy watching it with me which I wasn’t expecting. I’m pretty sure that the musical score, bright colors and character design are what make it so accessible to all audiences. But of course, references to games in both the music and visuals give it an extra boost to us fans.
I can already see the opening sequence of a sequel being a parody of Alien where Yoshi is stalking them in the Brooklyn sewers, sticking its tongue out to steal their stuff while they aren’t looking. Then they befriend each other. I personally hope it’ll be called “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” with more Luma nihilism and Rosalina.
Cause your mom probably grew up with Mario also
Luma nihilism was the best
I honestly like the scene where Peach was telling Mario she did it first try after he was struggling to complete the course. It just reminds me on how different gamer skills can be for Mario platforming. Peach is the experienced mario player(speedrunner even) while Mario is the first-timer just getting the hang of how the mechanics work.
Also, the Mario fails in the obstacle course while predictable, does remind me of how funny watching twitch streamers fail while playing mario for the first time live. I just appreciate how the movie captures both aspects.
It reminded me when I was very young and playing with my cousin. He knew the hang of it, and I was a total mess, but he was really kind and patient with me, it was my favorite scene.
I liked that they didn’t have Peach get fed up with Mario and talk down to him. She was genuinely trying to help him get the hang of it, and when she succeeded, she was genuinely happy for him.
SOOOO damn refreshing to have a strong female character who is strong on her own merits instead of having to tear a man down to build herself up.
honestly, every time I heard one of my favorite Mario songs all prettied up in the score, I got the biggest smile on my face.
Also, the peach motorcycle suit.. me and my wife both looked at each other and my wife said "daaaamn, she thicc now" which made me laugh 😂
I’m speechless
Lol...my teen nephews were also talking about how "hot" peach was in the motorcycle scene on our way back home 😅😂
The budget went to her booty physics... and I'm not complaining 😏
Epic video! I loved every minute of it!
As a older fan and avid big kid I I have been playing Nintendo games & Mario since the 80s...so for me (also loving the live action movie) the Mario Bros tv show etc this movie had me smiling!! I took my Cat Toad plush with me and my family lol but for me it was great to get to see every egg from past games, I thought everyone did a wonderful job in it and it was done very well.
I love seeing all the other small highlights to other Nintendo games too!
My favorite game was Super Mario 3 because I remember when I got the racoon suit for the first time..I lost it so when it got it in the movie I was hyped lol
My son plays Mario games with me and my husband also grew up on Mario too so I think there was enough for all generations of fans to enjoy.
I love Jack Black as Bowser lol his Peaches song is stuck in my head now lol
So they released a shorter version of that commercial for the super bowl. And the moment they did I called the opening of the film. I LOVED Bowser simping for Peach is such an IN CHARACTER thing. No lie, when Bowser increased his fire-breath and Peach yelled NO, the ENTIRE theater I was in knew. And when that theme kicks in, we all sang along(Starman is still badass.) One reason the score is THAT impactful is because Koji consulted
The film did what it needed to and it made me happy.
With banzai bill destroying the pipe and causing that explosion, I lowkey thought one of the credit scenes would hint of starting a Smash Bros universe.
I thought Rosalina was about to interfere when all those weird dimension cracks started to appear after the banzai bill explosion
I loved the parkour in the scaffolding scene at the beginning with the "castle burger" pole
The music was the thing that delighted me. So many of them I recognised from the Mario Bros games or Mario Kart games. They not only showed a knowledge and love for the games they were also done for conveying the tone of the moment.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
Never been much of a fan of the Metroid games. But I'd love to see a movie in that universe.
Gloveless Mario and Luigui had me like 👀👀👀👀👀
It was so unsettling!
I took my son who is on the spectrum as am I and he is 7 and he has loved Mario games of every kind so much since I introduced him to them when he was a toddler and so do I since I got my first NES console as a kid. Plus it was his first time going to the movie theater and it was the best adventure we've had yet.I felt like a kid again while watching it with my own son and we smiled and laughed through the whole movie. I say this is the best animated movie I have ever watched the only other one close to it has to be the toy story trilogy. I really hope they continue this building of the super Mario universe. Me and my son gave it 10 out of 10. We can't wait to own the Blu-ray.
Charles Martinet was announced at the same time as the rest of the cast so it was very much planned.
I loved everything about this movie. it's about time I get to see a movie that felt like the actual video game
Why not just play the video game??
@@sblagg527 because I enjoy watching video game adaption movies as well. I enjoy watching cutscenes and this was nice to look at
Just saw it and thought it was definitely fun and worth the watch, especially to see a life long fav character on the big screen. There were a few small moments they could have added to give the movie and characters a bit more heart and it legit felt like scenes were scrapped. Like when Peach and Mario are looking up at the stars and talking about where she comes from. She says something vague and the scene cuts like Nintendo probably told them "No you can't have her say that". But then moments like the ending with Mario and Luigi coming together really felt good. Definitely looking forward to the inevitable sequel and spin offs
I love your theory about Bowser and Peach. This was an absolutely fun time. And TOADally got the nod to eggs and Easter weekend.
Luma is the most relatable character in this movie and he cracked me up
I really enjoyed the 2 side-scrolling segments in the movie with Luigi and Donkey Kong. I thought that they were a creative way to work a version of the gameplay into the movie.
I like your theory of Mario being the villain. In the Original Donkey Kong Mario was actually the villain. He was Donkey Kong's abusive handler or owner. And some more useless trivia, you mentioned Popeye. Donkey Kong was created because Nintendo couldn't get the license to a Popeye game. A later Popeye was created which played like Donkey Kong.
Jeremy referencing Superstar Saga made my day.
I actually like the addition of 80s music. It’s supposed to represent the type of songs kids we’re listening to on the radio while playing the NES in 1985…
I legitimately enjoyed this movie. Solid 8 out of 10.
Now I want movies for Zelda and Metroid.
And Star Fox.
But I have a weird idea for Star Fox.
I'd love to see a Star Fox movie designed like a Henson Muppet/Dark Crystal movie. Something with animatronics and muppets that resembled the old puppets used for Star Fox promotional material back in the day.
You're so real for talking about Peach's arch game 😂😂😂😂 i immediately thought that too lmao
You nailed it at 13:30. My son loves it, I thought it was a fun 90 mins. That's all I could ask for is my little guy loving it & we can't wait to see more!
Saw this movie last night and it was super fun. I'm excited for the sequel to have Yoshi in it. 😆 I'm hoping for an animated Zelda and Metroid movie one day lol.
And star fox
Zelda should be a multipart series honestly. Metroid... that's a tough sell for kids... as much as I love it.
Zelda with the same style should work. Metroid (PG13, hell the fans who grew up with the SNES title are over 35 now) could actually be live action though.
@Jesus Salazar I want them both, but when it comes to Zelda, you need at least 8 episodes to truly capture the epic story. 90 mins of Zelda doesn't cut it.
Metroid is go big or go home territory. I want an R-rated film or series. Space Pirates, Metroids, Mother Brain, I mean seriously... that's nightmare fuel...in a good way. Unfortunately, you alienate (pardon the pun) a lot of the audience with either a PG rating or R. Nintendo will want to maximize box office, and I do think an R rating is better. Deadpool proved that. But I don't think Nintendo has the balls to do R.
Did you interpret it as yoshi in a Mario movie, or a standalone yoshi movie?
Why is no one mentioning how the movie almost looks like it was mo cap?!?!?!?!?! It looked really good! Also Mario did not get the Obstacle Course under so many tries in reference to playing the game and how many times it takes to get the hang of a level and beat it. Or when you get it in the first try.
I can get behind Mario not getting anything on his first try. It's why there's so many ways to get 1ups
Besides, Peach has the float jump; of course she got it on the first try
@@AB-yh1ew Agreed. I have died soooooo many times trying to get the secret openings on the different levels.
@@AB-yh1ew amen to that
when the mario kart loading music started playing as they were choosing their karts and then peach HIT THE A BUTTON TO FINISH THE KART I FUCKING LOST IT
Mario "maybe you came from my world" Peach " there are lots of different worlds out there the pipes lead to" Me " maybe a Metroid world and a legend of Zelda world?"
