Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

Eat your heart out, Bob Hoskins:

Hashtag not my Mario.

[Mog]

More plumber propaganda picking on a loving single dad raising 8(?) kids and successfully leading a loyal, dedicated, and DIVERSE group of troops and soldiers.

Mario’s clearly the evil one here! 

[Seto Kaiba]

Wow, so Chris Pratt's Mario voice is just... regular-ass Chris Pratt voice.

Having seen Super Mario Bros. in theaters as a kid my hopes were not high to begin with, but it's weirdly disappointing to hear Mario not sounding like the outrageous (but not entirely unrealistic) Italian stereotype Charles Martinet has been voicing since 1992.

EDIT: In a way, it's even weirder to hear Mario having actual dialogue instead of just various reaction sounds.

I'll leave it to the rest of you curmudgeons to pick this apart, I'm going to take my daughter to see it in the theater.

My 10 year old son will want to see this. I showed him the trailer and he was incredulous. I imagine it won't be any great masterpiece. But anyone who was hoping for more doesn't have their head in reality.

No Captain Lou Albano.. then no deal!     😝

I’m of the opinion that you can make a masterpiece out of everything.

Tell him you have the Mario movie at home, and pop in the DVD of THE Mario movie.

Hey, that was the second-biggest movie about dinosaurs in 1993!

 

I actually saw it in theaters because Jurassic Park was sold out.

Wreck-It Ralph?

How can we call a guy who murders countless soldiers, hordes and steals coins from the very kingdom he’s suppose to be helping, outright abuses Yoshi’s left and right, walks into other people’s castles and airships uninvited and goes all John Wick on folks, stomps on turtles repeatedly in his narcissistic quest for immortality (extra lives), possesses all sorts of creatures and forces them to do things against their will (and then leaves them in a confused state OR DEAD once he’s used them up), ditches his brother and traps the Princess in a hot air balloon, constantly cock-blocks single-dad Bowser even though uniting the Koopa and Mushroom Kingdoms would be politically advantageous for both, and we call him a hero?

Super Mario Jerk-Face!

😜

I've known about Mario's jerkface side for years. Donkey Kong Jr tried to warn us all.

Considering how many questionable mushrooms he ingests, it's possible he's just having a REALLY bad trip. 

[TangledThorns]

Showed the trailer to my 8 year old daughter, the targeted audience, and she can't wait to see the movie next April!

That would explain SMB2:  the one time Jerkface allowed his bro, Toad, and Peach to share equally in the spotlight.

Of course, he winds up constantly pulling up another kingdom’s food supply to utilize as weapons, and uses Birdo’s future children as WMD’s against that poor mother.

. . . Even in his dreams, he can’t escape his jerkface nature.

I'm down.  Looks like fun.  Hopefully there's a decent story (I have zero hope for that.)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the evil King Koopa has kidnapped Princess Toadstool Peach(fiiiiiiiiiiiiine).

The movie is really about a plumber that was offered some pizza at one of his customers homes that had been using the wrong kinda shrooms as a topping. Now he thinks every pipe is a warp gate that leads to early retirement. along the way he’s fighting with dead turtles children had flushed while believing he was responsible for their deaths and their all led by his boss who in his mind is now some messed up cross between a turtle and a dragon and thinks his hot wife needs to be rescued from him and somehow his brother is trying to help him in his adventures. The whole time his brother is really trying to get him clean and it’s really a redemption story dealing with heavy addiction

It's not the destination, it's the journey.

If nothing else, I have every confidence Jack Black's performance as Bowser will leave no piece of scenery free of toothmarks... which is 100% on-brand for Bowser.

I am just NEVER going to get over the idea of Mario actually having dialog.

There’s always the classic Super Mario bros. Super show if you need some Mario dialogue 

[Old_Nash_II]

Trailer #2

And so many references...

 

[Seto Kaiba]

It's beautifully animated... but my brain is never going to stop saying that the characters sound wrong after 30 years of Charlet Martinet's Mario.

[no3Ljm]

[Mog]

Nice to see DK beat the stuffing out of Jerkface. 😆 That’s for all the pain he put Junior and him through!

And could have swore Toad could pluck veggies out of the ground like nobody’s business.  They ain’t just pretty faces.

[TangledThorns]

Yeah, gonna be a family day at the theater for this movie! Gonna skip the snack bar to save money this time, lol.

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Wahoo indeed-count me and my kids in.

[Mommar]

Why is Mario being treated like a Comical Buffoon though?  Luigi is already that character.

I thought they were both supposed to be comical buffoons.

Mario never was, no.
