Mario Discussion

@Dr_Osaka
That pretty much dated the episode the instant it premiered :V

Everyone wonders how The Super Mario Bros. Movie would’ve turned out had Sony Pictures Animation done it instead of Illumination.

That Avi Arad was planning to produce it under SPA should give you the hint that it would suck bad.

Early reactions to the movie are out. So far, they’re pretty solid.

@SleepySteve
Would it be better than the 90’s Mario Movie.

From the trailers I already figured it was gonna be pretty good they showed quite a bit in those trailers lol

There is no way in hell that the internet is going to spoil the Mario movie for me!

[Nevermind]

The scene of Princess Peach going through her training course has been released.

She does all this in a heavy poofy dress. Impractical, but awesome.

@SleepySteve
I love all the little details like her holding her dress up when she runs like in the games, the hop noise from Super Mario World, her little spin on the flagpole like in 3D World, even her floating down gently like her special ability which I was hoping she’d use during the actual training course. There is just so much attention to detail and I love it.

Also on a related note

Anya Taylor Joy’s pink jumpsuit for the premiere.

@Dr_Osaka
She’s rocking that outfit, wow

Behold Mario.
Is Actually Starlord.

And Bowser
Is actually Nacho.

Reviews of the movie are out. They’re pretty promising, though the plot is a major point of contention.

The movie is currently 48% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes based on 54 reviews.

Well, it’s an improvement over the live-action movie, at least.

I told you.

When you see an Illumination movie, you don’t exactly find any level of quality. And if it’s quality you’re looking for, find it elsewhere.

That’s becoming harder and harder as conglomerates slash animation studios’ budgets and headcounts.

Ouch.

Still gonna watch it though

@SleepySteve
Remember in how rt works The score is based on the percentage of critics that gave it a higher enough score to count as fresh to them.
And there is no in between

@SleepySteve
Well… at least I can say I saw a bad review on the movie

I was gonna go see the Mario movie but spent my ‘movie budget’ for the foreseeable future on going to see John Wick 4 twice.

Have heard its decent, so I’ll most likely pick it up on DVD later

Pretty good i say

@SleepySteve
Nope.

Not gonna have time to watch it at the moment, hopefully on the weekend I can catch it in theaters

Just finished watching the Mario movie. To say it was something would be an understatement.
