Review of The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) by Samichsupernova — 12 Apr 2023
Amazing fan service. Lovingly and carefully written interpretations of the characters. It is obvious Nintendo took great care in supervising Illumination and crafting a film that would appeal to fans and kids alike.
Mario and Peach are selfless heroes with hearts of gold who strive determinedly for others, and their relationship forms the heart of the film. Bowser is equal parts threatening and hilarious. Luigi has an arc, though he could easily have been given more screen time.
Toad, DK, and Kamek were all fine. Loved all of the easter eggs and the film’s fast pace will help it on repeat viewings. It’s a real crowd pleaser that had everyone clapping. I can’t wait to see it again.
