Super Mario Brothers The Movie

[Kebron]

Once again Universal managed to make a really good movie that appeals to adults AND kids. And with this news, I think Disney/Pixar is close to losing the animated movie crown.

I think Disney/Pixar is close to losing the animated movie crown.

To compete Disney will soon be releasing; Tony & Joey the Fantastico "Bellanotte Bros." Movie.
The story of how two Italian Plumber Ristauranteur Brothers inadvertently save the Universe!

Never played a Mario game so no real desire to see this.

You’re telling me you don’t want to see frozen 3 and Toy Story 5 ?

My pal and his fiancé went to see this, both are in their early 40s and grew up with the NES and SNES. Absolutely loved it, I think they're taking their little one to see it soon.

Between this and Sonic I think this was the better movie. It stayed to the source material a lot more closely than the Sonic movie did anyway. The whole movie should have been stylised CGI set in the Sonic zones. Having the whole movie in the real world with a human sidekick killed that movie for me. It reminded me of the early 2000's movies like Scooby Doo and Garfield. Uuurrrggghhhh.

Saw this yesterday. Really enjoyed it! As you'd expect for a kids film however full of heart and lots of fun action scenes (I never played the games however I imagine if you did, some of these scenes would have made you really happy).

As much as I enjoyed both Sonic films, after seeing Mario, I wish they had set Sonic in the same CGI style world. Felt much more organic (given the source material).

There's a cool (brief) post credits scene too.

That’s what I’m talking about ! Sonic was def more interesting than fat high plumber Italian guy and his green dinosaur.

I just saw this today, and it was excellent.

$900m worldwide box office after this weekend too. It's been a while since a Disney animated movie hit these heights.
