Moviegoers are saying
This Nintendo sequel delivers stunning Illumination animation and fan service galore, but divides audiences between those craving nostalgic Easter eggs and those seeking substantial storytelling. While kids and gamers are absolutely enchanted by the visual spectacle and character cameos, critics find themselves drowning in what one reviewer called 'jingling shiny keys for 100 minutes.'

    Why bother with storytelling when jingling the proverbial shiny keys in front of audience’s faces for 100 minutes guarantees a billion dollars? Will go hard for Cocomelon fans.

    At first the pig craved the slop but soon it started choking on it, drowning in it.

    I laughed. I cried. I fanboyed. I was screaming with all the other babies in the audience. Illumination finally won me over. So many sugary treats to enjoy! (Note: this is NOT an april fools joke)

    Donald Glover as Yoshi and now Glen Powell as Fox McCloud are probably the best casting choices in cinema history

    “This is for kids” “This is for the fans” “You hate fun” “L take” “so pretentious” “9/11 was an inside job.”  There. Now you don’t have anything to say and we can all move on.

    Are we just gonna gloss over the fact that Baby Luma having a pacifier implies that they get breastfed by Rosalina

    7/10 I like the first one more pacing wise, however the animation and jokes were goated with the sauce.

    Bowser made the movie. As always Peach was a baddie. Everything else kinda sucked. The pacing was everywhere. The people at the movie however 10/10

    If I’m comparing it every other movie it’s good. But I was expecting so much moreee. This movie was all over the place and Mario doesn’t do ANYTHING 90% of the movie. Why does Peach feel like the main character? Visuals were cool but just super empty plot

    Funny scenes and good visuals but was one of the most AI generated slop plots I’ve ever watched. Fox for 3 scenes🔥💪🏻🇺🇸

    Hehehe. Idc what anyone has to say I loved this movie 😭😭. I liked the fact they didn't disregard bowsers character development then scrapped it. Bc let's be honest. He will forever have grudge against Mario that's the whole point of the game franchise. People were talking about a smashbros movie…

    The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a fun, visually polished sequel that understands what fans love about this universe. At the same time, the story does not always match the ambition of the setting.

    It’s a really disturbing movie. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It’s worst than you could imagine

    The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

    Struggled with how to rate this. Honestly, I’m probably being a curmudgeon, it felt way too chaotic without a lot of depth. I’m still upset that Pratt is Mario, but whatever. They packed so much in here, Easters egg and franchises, that it’s overwhelming. Tons of action/fighting left little room…

    🔥 3 7M

    It was a great movie, I wasn’t expecting such a strong dad factor in the storyline. Well done also it was in 3-D.

If you’re going in hoping for something the whole family can genuinely connect with on a deeper level, you’ll be disappointed. It’s a kids’ movie, plain and simple, and there’d be no way I’d see this if I didn’t have kids.
