The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

The prime attraction of this movie, and its predecessor, is that it envelopes the audience in the Mario world. Every square inch of the screen, from top to bottom, corner to corner, is packed with images derived from the game. Easter eggs abound. Watching it is akin being inside the 2007 Super Mario Galaxy game itself. Which is why it needs to be seen on the big screen. Seeing it on a phone or a laptop wouldn’t do it justice.

Anyone hoping for a more mature plot or emotional weight should probably resign themselves now: Galaxy tees up endless potential sequels and spinoffs, and it looks like the Super Mario moviemaking machine not only has a proven formula at this point, it’s sticking with it.

If the idea of spending 90 minutes in a movie theater seeing gorgeously rendered versions of a hugely popular gaming world and its characters going through the motions appeals to you, then The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will scratch the itch.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is, like its predecessor, solidly put together and even elicits a chuckle here and there (most of them, as before, courtesy of Black). But it’s also pretty much as impenetrable as Finnegan’s Wake for those not locked into its hermetic, mushroom-and-brick-filled world.

Maybe there’s just no time for things like “cohesive character development” or “a compelling story” when you’ve got to service as much Nintendo IP as humanly possible in barely 90 minutes before credits.

So lacking in substance and purpose that after a while you can’t even hear the dialogue over the incessant sound of Aristotle’s ghost punching himself.

The film is torturous to sit through and, for me, provoked periods of actual physical discomfort. I had to stab myself repeatedly in the hand with a pen to distract from the howling distress. It’s that bad, and that offensive.

Critics hate this movie because it is a fun time without giving a boring lecture.

Well it's not bad I think, the animation is good, but the plot is kinda a mess, it's mainly a compilation of OH LOOK AT THIS, OH LOOK AT THAT, OH LOOK AT THOSE. Just a bunch of things that appear once and never again just to make a cool cameo and that's about it.

I’m of two minds about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. On one hand, it’s a fun, undemanding romp with no preachiness, stunning visuals, plenty of Easter eggs for fans, and a plot simple enough that you don’t need any prior knowledge to enjoy it. On the other, the story essentially starts in the third act and never leaves it. It rarely slows down to breathe or develop anything meaningful. The title Galaxy feels like a misnomer — this isn’t really an adaptation of the Super Mario Galaxy games so much as a Nintendo multiverse mashup. Arcs are hinted at but never fully realized, and the breakneck pacing is probably the root of most of my issues. If I had to sum it up, I’d call it a rollercoaster: exhilarating in the moment, but it ultimately leaves you feeling a bit empty and wanting more substance.

Le film est toujours beau visuellement, mais l'histoire est ennuyeuse à t'elle point que je voulais quitté la salle. On ne comprend plus les intentions de Bowser. Les références sont pauvres et mal exécuté. On nous tease des choses incroyables pour être dessus. C'est dommage d'être tombé aussi bas en vue du premier film qui était extraordinaire.

What a downgrade from first movie. They just made a list of easter eggs they wanted in the movie, mixed it and we got this. There's no substance. They present you a conflict, they do things around that topic for about 10-15 seconds and after that we're in a whole new situacion. It's a diarrhea of information because kids nowadays can't focus for more that a tiktok's lenght.
