poki Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 It also doesn't help that their animation style looks so dated. It's all about modern hand drawn style nowadays like SpiderVerse, The Bad Guys, The Last Wish. This looks like movies from 10 years ago. Frozen, Shrek 4, etc.
Mr. Blue_Shirt Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Let me shut my brain off when I see it on theater

ATRL Moderator Azulito Posted April 4, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted April 4, 2023 Nooo I’ll keep an open mind but I really hope Illumination gets it together story-wise. Let’s hope it smashes so they can get another try with the sequel
Heartbreak Prince Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Nooo had such high hopes for this. Will still be seated though.
fridayteenage Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 The only videogame film with positive reviews on metacritic is, like, the tiny indie werewolves within. Not seeing the surprise

The Next Day Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Better luck next time Spoiler Who cares tho, even Sonic got mixed reviews and those movies did great. Spoiler I expect this to do better than Sonic tho, everything else would be a kii Edited April 4, 2023 by The Next Day
suneclipse121 Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 They will be getting my money either way If the plot is the problem I’m not bothered since Mario games never really have a good plot anyways
sweetblindness Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 This is kind of disappointing. I assumed that with Nintendo's involvement it would have been better than mediocre, though I guess Mario has never had the most depth plot-wise and this movie seems overwhelmingly aimed at kids. Regardless, I'll be seeing it because the animation looks gorgeous.

Take that away and......
fountain Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 I kinda see the point but also what exactly did they expect… it’s a children’s movie, and a Mario themed one no less, of course it’s not going to have a super sophisticated plot It’ll probably be a success anyway, the visuals look strong and that was obviously the main point. The criticism of it being over reliant on references seems valid though, that vibe definitely seems present in the clips and trailers… it’s very “look, Mario Kart!”, “now they’re platforming!”, “oh wow a fire flower!”.
JonginBey Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Deserved for that pathetic ass excuse for a Mario casting.
prézli Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Chris Pratt is the blandest Chris in Hollywood right now. Not surprised. Anna Faris did a good job with getting rid of him.
Kylizzle Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 The excuses already. My Neighbor Totoro is a kids movie with barely any plot and it's an all-timer so what's Mario's excuse

harwee Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 I prefer to see that other movie movie from the better Chris' (Pine), Dungeon Dragons. My friend told me its really good but I'm poor right now so I'm definitely looking forward to watching that instead at some point.
Blade Runner Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 I can't believe they had like 5983693 years to perfect this, and they f+cked it up. It's almost funny. gjshgjsg
