Bonus question: Do you think it's better than the live action one from the 90s?

It was fine. Nothing spectacular, but it was fun enough. I never really watched the '90s one, but I know its reputation, lol.

It's okay-to-good. A solid kids movie. Didn't quite have the charm / heart of the Sonic movies (shocking thing for a Ninty fanboy to admit).

Still, the live-action SMB movie left me genuinely depressed as a kid, so the new one is at least a huge and welcome step up from that.

Good
The music and sound effects are my favorite part

Agreed. I just watched it and the sound was the standout for me. I particularly liked that they used some music from newer games like Galaxy, as I figured it could wind up leaning too hard on the original SMB. The rest of the package - like plot and characterization - was serviceable and inoffensive, which is all it needed to be.

It's good. The story itself is very, very meh and I don't love Peach, but it's still fun and all the references and fan service elevate it if you're a fan.

It was good, not the best movie ever made but there were some really funny lines (I love Bowser's motivational speech to his army about destroying Peach's kingdom, which leads up to "And then I will ask her to marry me!"). Would actually probably like it more now than when it was new since we have a new Mario platformer announced, I can't stand when franchises have media presence but their main genre/medium is absent.

I liked it a lot. The only downside were some of the pop culture insert songs. We needed the whole thing to be Nintendo music.

Visuals and music are great (outside of a couple of generic pop songs).
A lot of neat references for Mario fans which was great to see on the big screen.

But it lacks a bit of heart due to how quickly it moves through everything. Next time I hope it slows down and takes the time to actually develop Mario's relationship with these characters so it means a bit more.

Okay to good sounds right.

I will say, get rid of all the pop music if there is a sequel.
The series has a nearly 40 years musical history it can get material from.

I saw it for the first time on Peacock a few days ago and I thought it was fine, the only real thing about it I thought was notable is that it does really feel like a Mario movie. Other than that pretty bog-standard kid's movie.

Even if it was predictable from before we had even seen footage of the movie, Yoshi is my favorite Mario character, so him being in the stinger ensured I'll see the sequel.

It's serviceable. Even accepting that it's a kids movie, it's still not near the top

I think there's an exec at Illumination who forces it in there as a mandate or something. It's in all of their movies.

Probably some old boomer dude who adds that to his feedback for every movie.

"Good work but it needs more 80s songs and characters falling over in slow motion."
