I wasn't that fussed about seeing this, but the clips above look great. Maybe I will see this after all.

Still mad they didn't use professional voice actors instead of celebrities

 

Mario's brand recognition is enough to make this a hit even if none of the cast are famous

 

Professional VA's would enhance this

I'm quite sure that one is on Miyamoto

Review embargo lifts in 50 mimutes.

Sample of reviews:

 

Quote

It’s hard to demand all that much from a Mario Bros film when its source material has been historically devoid of plot, but shouldn’t we be allowed to demand a little more than mere competency?

Quote

The film feels like it’s content to check off to-do notes and scratch the viewer’s nostalgia itch.

Quote

This much-trailed, much-hyped new animated feature is tedious and flat in all senses, a disappointment to match the live-action version in 1993.

Quote

Directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, creators of the Teen Titans Go! series, deliver a reasonably faithful big screen adaptation that, while it features plenty of juvenile humor, wisely doesn’t lean toward broad satire.

[The Super Mario Bros. Movie] is as shallow, sterile and eyeball-drillingly inane a feature-length brand-extension exercise as Hollywood has yet produced.

As Nintendo’s first serious attempt at conquering filmmaking, it’s a lovingly crafted entry point with the potential for more.

@_Fey Change the title to "Chris Pratt's Super Mario Movie destroyed by critics | RT: 45, MC: 52" for that hit thread.

 

OT: Ugh .

[Both Sides Now]

Such a shame. I blame Chris Ratt

[Broken]

The reviews, omg .

[Broken]

46% with 52 (!!!) reviews 

[Uncatena]

[Helios]

Anya Taylor Joy doesnt deserve this.  Why did she sign on to this ugly movie?

[Hector]

Nooooo.... still have high hopes for this, the trailers look so good.

I'm not surprised, it looks bad and Chris Pratt doesn't sound anything like Mario.

 

Jack Black put his whole Jackussy into the Bowser role, giving it life, while Mario sounds plain and lazy.

There's already a thread on the critic reviews in entertainment. Why did you make another one here?

Naur! I mean, I really dislike Chris, but I was excited for the rest of the cast (particularly Jack Black) and the overall story  Definitely still going to see it, but yikes

[Attitude]

[Zoe_]

At this point, I will decide for myself if I like a movie or not.

[Iceland]

Bowser won

It’s over 

[Da Vinci]

Video game movie + Illumination

 

My main worry is that the whole "film" would feel like one giant video game cutscene
