I’m pretty sure it doesn’t hold up as a film per se, as it seemed like a bunch of set pieces loosely strung together. But… I don’t care. Nintendo was my childhood, and this took me back to a simpler, happier time. I almost audibly squeed when one of the lumas referenced the Super Mario Bros Super Show theme song.

All the cameos from other Nintendo franchises make me want a Super Smash Bros movie so bad. Fox also doesn’t look uncanny in this movie unlike the SF64 rereremake.

Always happy to see references to Mario Sunshine (Bowser Jr’s paintbrush, the piantas in the gateway galaxy). I seem to be in the minority of people who really like that game.

    I agree and I made many of the same criticisms myself, but there is a balance to be found with the level/tone of the criticism. A lot of people were weirdly angry and hateful with their reactions. Like well done for getting so triggered by a kids movie? It was pretty embarrassing on their part.

      I definitely agree that some people take things too dramatically. People love to say something is a 10/10 masterpiece or (more commonly) the worst movie ever made. There is plenty of nuance and in between ratings, and it’s also fine to judge a film overall by what it was trying to be.

        I think a lot of it was just the usual anti-Nintendo/anti-corporation circlejerking people like to do now. There was a bit of a hate movement against the first one too, except it didn’t go anywhere because it was genuinely good.
