Leave your thoughts about The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
| We Got This CoveredErielle SudarioNintendo knows what's great about the 'Super Mario Bros.' games, and perfectly brings them to life on the big screen. |
| ColliderRoss BonaimeThe Super Mario Bros. Movie captures the spirit of the games, the deep history, and the incredible possibilities that these games have presented for decades, all in one of the most fun animated films in years, with a team behind it that you can feel loves these characters and this world. |
| IGNTom JorgensenThe Super Mario Bros. Movie is a fireball of animated fantasy. Mario, Luigi, and Peach’s adventure delights with its infectious energy and smart implementations of video game callbacks, and the top-shelf animation renders the Mushroom Kingdom as an Oz-like wonderland that begs to be explored in the inevitable sequels that will follow. |
| IndieWireChristian ZilkoThe Super Mario Bros. Movie is a true masterclass in exploiting juicy IP, building out an intricate-yet-familiar world that’s littered with video game Easter eggs that could set up other movies. |
| The A.V. ClubMatthew HuffUltimately, Nintendo fans are sure to find the second Mario film (unlike the first) well worth a trip to the cinema, and with a runtime of only 92 minutes, it doesn’t overstay its welcome. But to swipe a metaphor from the original NES Super Mario Bros. game, while the film may complete the level, it doesn’t quite nail the leap to the top of the flagpole. |
| ConsequenceLiz Shannon MillerFor any parents reading this — it might not be the best film of the year, but you're going to be able to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie more than once without losing your dang mind. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperWith an ending clearly setting up further adventures to come, The Super Mario Bros. is a solid kickoff to a new chapter in this enduring, multi-platform franchise |
| TheWrapLex BriscusoShort of dropping onto the Rainbow Road ourselves there is no experience closer to being fully immersed in one of the world’s most beloved video games. Pair that with some great comedic moments and swoon-worthy visuals and it looks like The Super Mario Bros. Movie might just make a real mark on the feature animation world. |
| Arizona RepublicKimi RobinsonThe Super Mario Bros. is family-friendly movie theater catnip over the Easter weekend, and it’s sure to be an enjoyable watch for the average viewer. I’ll leave the “Mario” superfans to determine if every frame, line of dialogue and reference to the video games lives up to the hype around the film. |
| Rolling StoneChristopher CruzAs Nintendo’s first serious attempt at conquering filmmaking, it’s a lovingly crafted entry point with the potential for more. |
