I agree with the pacing complaints. They could’ve spent more time on character development and world-building tbh. Considering Universal/Nintendo have already hinted at making more movies together, I don’t know why they chose to cram so much into the first one. They didn’t leave many options for a sequel. 

There’s so much they can do, they can do a Luigi’s mansion spin off, explore yoshi world in the sequel, have a wario/waluigi third film about their rivalry, there’s plenty of stories to tell and the fans will FLOCK to the cinema

we need Yoshi, Super Smash Bros Brawl kinda movie, and Super Mario Galaxy movie next

 

yaass

[Dula Peep]

Mario is the new Mouse 

[Ricanaire]

I wish we saw more of Yoshi's Island. It looked so cute!

[znake]

The seriously need to focus in:

 

2025  Mario 2: Yoshi Island 

2026. Mario 3 : Galaxy 

2028  Mario 4 : 3D World + Bowser fury with all characters on screen 

2029 Mario 5 : from new Mario 3D game coming to Switch sucessor

They also have plenty of spinoff opportunities with Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, Rosalina etc.

[Dark Phoenix]

The way I could see already a spin off for Luigi, DK, Toad, Peach; just wow it was about damn time.

The movie was great. The only issues were the dialogue and some of the pacing but other than that, it was excellent. 

And why wouldn’t we want another film? There are still so many untapped characters and Nintendo has so many franchises that could make excellent films (Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Fire Emblem, etc.) and then they could culminate in a Smash Bros. film. 

What you’re doing is called “projecting,” sis.  

A Nintendo cinematic universe would be amazing if done right. I wonder how Pokemon would fit in though.

Now that Jack Black's random "Pedro Pascal for Wario" campaign has gone viral & even reported on by the trades - it'll be awkward if it's someone else.

I’m so glad they finally did a Mario film (yes I know there was technically one from like 1990 or whenever).

 

I just really can’t believe Nintendo never tried to profit off of their franchises in this way until now ???

 

I think the Pokémon tv show is the only thing they’ve really pushed. And that had movies which got theatrical releases in Japan. I’m not sure about the US, but in the UK they were not released in cinemas. 
 

There’s so much more that can be done. I think Pokémon needs a proper theatrical movie too (I don’t count Detective Pikachu, that did not feel like Pokémon). 

[Boysdontcry]

Anyway, I loved this film. 
 

Yes the pace was a bit too quick. And it lacked some character development. But overall it was enjoyable and I’d probably watch it again.

Mexico . Box office is back in full force, even small/indie movies are smashing HARD here, The Whale grossed like $10M .

Ninty is just so powerful.

The way the performance would be a hoot if it got nominated.  

[Katamari]

So it beat sonic 2?

Watched this yesterday with my date and we enjoyed it a lot. I don't get the criticism from the critics tbqh

“The six-day running total on Super Mario Bros is $224.7M. It would not be shocking, especially how Universal has kept these family pics as wide releases for several months even as they hit PVOD, to see Super Mario Bros hit $500M-$600M at the end of its domestic run.”

If that's only domestic run, imagine the global one  I need them to announce the sequel

 

They need to bring that little star back, he was the highlight of the film. Everytime it appeared on screen my date and I couldn't help but cackle at everything he was saying
