The highly anticipated Super Mario Bros. Movie has finally arrived, and critics are weighing in on its entertainment value. According to Tim Gettys, the music is the true star of the show, adding a touch of magic to the film. Erik Davis praises Jack Black’s turn as Bowser, bringing a new level of animation and energy to the role. Tessa Smith notes that the film is packed with Easter eggs and features Princess Peach as a “badass” character, but expresses disappointment that Luigi is somewhat sidelined, which might disappoint fans of the lovable plumber.
While not every critic was blown away by the film, Deo gives the movie a surprisingly lukewarm 10 out of 10, implying that while it’s enjoyable, it’s not particularly memorable. Andre Segers calls the film a “delightful thrill ride,” but notes that the narrative is surprisingly shallow, lacking depth and complexity. Rendy Jones, on the other hand, believes the film will “delight kids and fans” due to its abundance of Easter eggs, acknowledging that the tone is likely to be goofy and over-the-top, but ultimately enjoyable.

Germain Lussier from iO9 is one of the few critics who was underwhelmed by the film, expressing disappointment with the plot, music, and jokes, stating that he felt more bored and annoyed than entertained. Despite these mixed reviews, the Super Mario Bros. Movie is set to hit theaters on April 7, giving fans of the franchise and newcomers alike the opportunity to form their own opinions on the film. The addition of Easter eggs and references to the original video games is sure to delight fans of the franchise.
The voice cast, led by Chris Pratt as Mario, has been a topic of interest, and the final product seems to be a fun and entertaining take on the beloved characters. While some critics may have mixed opinions on the film’s plot and tone, the Super Mario Bros. Movie is set to be a thrill ride for anyone who loves the Mario universe. With its release just around the corner, fans can now check out the film and decide for themselves whether or not it’s a worthwhile adaptation of the classic video game franchise.
