What are your thoughts on this @smashingpmkns
I watched it. It wasn't good. Another Illumination movie basically. Should have got another studio to do it.

Also I'm not reading this topic lol

93% doesnt mean its a spectacular movie it just means the majority of viewers enjoyed it at least enough for a thumbs up rather than a thumbs down

No it hasn't, there just isn't any discourse to be had when your opinion is, "X is shit." or "Anyone that likes X is ruining cinema."

That's how the Mario movie is supposed to be watched. If you go see it with your kids and it's not terrible for adults, then great. No one over the age of 20 should see this movie unless accompanied by someone under the age of 13.

Do you guys have kids? Or know people that do? Because Mario hasn't been this popular with kids since the original Nintendo console.
There's an absolute fuckton of Mario merch in every toy store. Lego Mario, Mario Kart RC toys, costumes, clothing, backpacks, school supplies,... We were lucky if we could get our hands on a Mario coloring book in the early 90s.
My friend's 6 year old is absolutely obsessed with everything Mario. My sister's 7 year old owns a bunch of Mario toys along with having picked Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Party, Mario Party Superstars, Mario All Stars 3D as games for his Switch with zero input from his non gaming parents.

Rotten Tomatoes critic score is the same too.

It's crazy how many people seem to miss this and think you need to either absolutely love a movie or hate it.

It's more like "This is the percentage of people who liked it enough to recommend"

Half of movie critics not liking Mario makes total sense. Most people who buy a ticket to see the Mario movie liking it also makes sense. Neither of these are at odds with each other.

Neither of these mean it's a terrible or fantastic movie. It means it's a movie that critically isn't anything amazing but is appealing to the people who are interested in it. Plenty of movies are like this. It's okay.

It's nice to see someone with an actual realistic take instead of making conspiracy theories about how all reviews are paid.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying fanservice.

I mean, isn't that what we complain about with video-game movies? They don't lean on the things that make people love them.

also audience scores are heavily skewed by weird fanboys pre-loving or pre-hating something with vote stuffing and should be discounted whenever possible.
says the guy who is pre-hating mario, and pre-loving John Wick 4, Air, and How to blow up the pipeline. You haven't seen any of them yet and have already voiced your opinion on if they are good or bad.

Just because there's merch doesn't mean it's popular. I guarantee you given the choice between Mario or John Fortnite or Steve Minecraft, Mario would never be picked.
