Reputator Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 19 hours ago, Greatoneshere said: The CG certainly looks great, the visual design and aesthetic are right on, and I don't mind the voice acting. Kids and adults will no doubt eat this shit up. But for me that felt way too quippy and generic for Super Mario type stuff. It's a movie, it's obviously gotta be its own thing since there isn't much to go on with the games in terms of dialogue tone, but I dunno, Mario looks super bumbling to a frustrating degree, Peach is a competent, exasperated woman, it all feels kind of generic in a dialogue/story way, like I've seen the bones of this a million times in animated kids films recently. Could just be the trailer. Didn't hate it or love it. Oh it's paint-by-numbers for sure. They're playing it safe as shit, as there's a ton of money on the line, and Nintendo is a doting helicopter parent when it comes to their IPs. That said, I'm sure Mario's bumbling characteristics are part of his "arc". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the two trailers, I think moreso this is gonna be wayyyy too jam packed with fanservice, but again, people will eat it up. This thing prints money, but all the more reason it should try to actually be good since it would make money either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 While I don’t disagree with anything anyone has said. Every observation about the trailer I agree with. But at the same time, what was everyone honestly expecting this to be? This is illumination not Pixar(not that they’ve been anything great the last decade). For me personally I WANT all the fan service. That’s what I expected out of this. 90 minutes of “No way I can’t believe they included *insert obscure Mario 2 reference* in this movie” and for Jack Black to be awesome and steal the movie. Which it looks like it’s both of those haha 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Genuinely hadn't a care in the world for this until the new trailer and yeah, I'd definitely go see that if not for anything more than nostalgia bait ... yet I cannot help myself somehow.

Keyser_Soze Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Here's a clip, Chris Pratt lights it up with this two lines. Still think Martinet would have been annoying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Martinet being a professional voice actor I'm sure could have adjusted the voice a bit so that it doesn't get "irritating" for 90-120 minutes. Pratt wasn't hired for his voice talent; he was hired because he's a big star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Movie looks amazing. I’ll be that guy. I hope Pratt takes over voicing Mario in the games and he starts talking more. Why? Because he sounds completely fine and fuck everyone. That’s why. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
