A satirical portrayal of all the exploits from our red hat-wearing plumber reduced to Illumination’s punching bag from all of the hits Mario has to take. Nintendo’s favorite mustachioed mascot feels more of a letdown who always messes up. The movie opens up with Bowser’s kingdom invading the Penguin Kingdom with him and Kamek obtaining the Super Star as a means to invade the Mushroom Kingdom to have Princess Peach marry him.Įven though the film stayed faithful to the source material, I feel that Chris Pratt’s Performance as Mario will never be a replacement for Charles Martinet. As Mario would say, “Here we go!” Review – Spoilers ahead It’s time to get this review started, and I will apologize in advance when it comes to spoilers to those who have yet to see it. However, it appear that the risk didn’t truly pay off.Ī very good story is a real lynchpin to a very successful film that might open up to a successful cinematic universe – provided the directors stop taking shortcuts, such as reducing said film to 90 minutes in length. In fact, Shigeru Miyamoto, himself, has brought about major hype when it comes to Illumination Entertainment animating a movie based on the Super Mario Bros. It also retracted my thought that it would finally break out of the game to movie adaptation curse. As well as Jack Black’s spot-on performance as Bowser. This, despite the character designs, animation, and nostalgic music from all the Nintendo soundtracks, put together. However, the film turns out to be oversaturated with Easter eggs from Mario and Donkey Games and allusions from older Illumination titles, degrading the story-driven narrative into a Paper Mario-thin quality. Now, as one of many major fans of the Super Mario Franchise, I was expecting a bit more from the The Super Mario Bros. They're not completely on their own, either, since returning favorites like Funky Kong and Enguarde the swordfish provide help along the way.Īnd in a series known for its abundance of secrets and high replay value, this entry doesn't disappoint, with enough hours of game play to satisfy Donkey Kong himself.Since 1993, Super Mario Bros movies end up failing both financially and through critical reception, along with the first movie being the start of this adaptation curse. Lucky for them, Dixie and Kiddy's powers complement each other (including Kiddy's talent for rolling like a barrel), so they form a powerful team capable of major Kremling damage.

Now it's up to Dixie Kong and the newest Kong, a giant infant named Kiddy, to rescue the two missing apes.
