Looked great. I’m happy for Miyamoto. 

[scottcr]

Looks fun. Jack Black will be ace… star of the show will be Luigi.

 

walugi guest appearance will destroy the internet

Guaranteed Marios voice changes through the film

[therearerules]

It was very reminiscent of an in-game cutscene, in that I quickly became bored and skipped it.

I'm not sure about that. If you watch the french trailer, it actually sounds like Mario.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Trailer was a bit over the top in its use of dramatic dun DUN DUN effects

[Quest]

Obviously the only truly acceptable Mario film would be something in Yoichi Kotabe's style with a ludicrous hand animation budget, but that's never happening. I've come to accept this.

 

 

This Hollywood thing has a bit of an Aldi own-brand feel but could've been worse. My daughter is glad the penguins are in it.

[thesnwmn]

I think it looked great. The penguin attack drew a genuine laugh.

 

But the "what is the place" vibe from Mario doesn't fill me with much hope. Plumber brothers sucked down a magical toilet whilst working late one night and then saving the Mushroom Kingdom isn't really the story I want.

 

I guess the problem is we don't really know what Mario does between rescue attempts so how do you start a Mario movie but this is a bit too clichéd for me I think.

[Len]

Looked great fun, can't wait to take my daughter to see it. 

[Jarik]

IMO it’s good that Mario has a look and voice that’s distinct to the film rather than trying to copy the games.  It makes it easier to think of this as ‘Movie Mario’ who may or may not be as good as ‘Game Mario’ depending on how the movie turns out.

 

"But what other the other 'Movie Mario'?"

 

We do not speak of the other Movie Mario. 

[Stanley]

I thought he looked great when he turned and looked towards the camera. I was worried it might be just even slightly off but he looks spot on IMO. And the tiny glimpse we got of Luigi in the haunted house was great too. 

[Mars]

Jack Black should have been Mario and Chris Pratt should stick with Garfield.

[Strafe]

I don’t get why they made Mario look different when Bowser and the others all look ‘normal’. Maybe they needed to change it so they can do more with his facial expressions and mouth movements for talking.

He’s got Garfield too? Is nothing sacred 

[Mars]

Yes, and apparently his voice is going to sound unlike anything you've heard in the Garfield world before!

[SMD]

 

[Popo]

Oh god, that’s much worse somehow. 

[Shimmyhill]

I thought the trailer was decent, maybe as the lead up to it was so shit….. genuinely laughed and really hopeful it will be good fun.

 

To be fair, just the title screen is enough to get me excited - those colours/font got me!

[Strafe]

Yoshi confirmed. Leaked photo shows Mario meeting up with him

 

Spoiler

 

[Strafe]

I hope Bowser wins in the film. That’s how much I hate Chris Pratt.

[SuperFamiTom]

Call me a miserable old bastard if you must but I'm not sure as why being a miserable old bastard I should care about this. I skip the cut scenes in Mario games and I'm absolutely sure I wouldn't pay extra for more of them so I'm certainly not going to pay extra to see 2 hours of them in a cinema or streamed. 

 

Not for me I'm afraid. 

 

 

[moosegrinder]

I think it looks great. Even if Crispy Rat is rubbish practically every other person on the cast will eat all the scenery anyway so fuck it. In.

[b00dles]

It's hardly meant to be a film aimed at the demographic of the forum, even if we've "grown up" with Mario, so I find the surprise that a kids movie isn't for them a bit strange. 

 

It was never going to be a strangely gritty dig at capitalism and even early trump was it? The one with tintin in it already did that and was a flop.

[Spiceymike]

I was pleasantly pleased that they haven't toyed too much with the styles, my first thought for Mario though is that he looks slightly like Fix It Felix Jr in the face which is ironic considering who he's supposed to be based on.

[Hamus]

I'm shocked, I thought this was going to be live action like when TinTin played Mario.

This is when at the end of the film it jump cuts to a man rocking backwards and forwards in a padded cell and it’s revealed that Mario and all of his adventures have been various chapters of someone’s descent into insanity.

 

But yeah, think it looks fine. Captures the Mario spirit pretty well. As much as I love Charles Martinet, I think listening to a feature film’s worth of his dialogue would drive anyone up the wall. Think the small snippet we heard in this trailer sounded alright.
