This is so funny because Mario is the audience finding out about this « unknown world » and learning how to deal with it. So the movie being inaccessible doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Please put this at the top of the OP.
I mean, unless it tanks even further, it already beats Hop (24%)It would be so fucking funny if this ends up with the lowest RT of any Illumination movie.
Well it currently is the lowest RT Illumination movie to be completely animated (it's at 53% now)It would be so fucking funny if this ends up with the lowest RT of any Illumination movie.
“This Super Mario game” as if Mario isn’t more recognizable than Mickey Mouse

Y'know, that video game guy, Super Leonardo somethin'“This Super Mario game” as if Mario isn’t more recognizable than Mickey Mouse
I've literally never heard of this movie. Guess we're in the clear, Marioheads!I mean, unless it tanks even further, it already beats Hop (24%)

I actually liked PiB 1 and it's rotten! Extremely cheesy movie with Antonio Banderas charismaI'm just going to take a moment to bask in the unexpected reality that Puss in Boots 2 is the high bar for animated films currently. Like, it's deserved, but imagine thinking this would be the case a year ago.
I’ll also love to join in the fun. One more for the 91 or higher train.alright cool. Mods if you see this please lock it in.
Damn this is really sad, it seemed like such a Labour of love.
I’m stupid lolI know the Sonic 2 movie got a 47, I loved that movie. Probably my most favourite movie of last year, so I'm not worried at all.
Then again my second favourite movie is Jurassic World: Dominion so maybe my opinion isn't that valuable LOL
47 metacriticSonic 2 got 69
Ah, assumed rt, my apologiesmetacritic
the fact they're this close may mean Mario somehow ends up close to the RT too.Ah, assumed rt, my apologies

One would argue that the most gamey movie of all time, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, is currently sitting at a comfortable 82% on RTMovie critics were never going to like overly gamey things
From what I've gathered, the negative reviews have focused on the thin plot, overly breakneck pacing, bad humor and weird licenced music inclusions.
These aren't issues that have arisen due to the movie being gamey or a video game adaptation - it just means the execution was found to be lacking. A Mario movie can easily have a good plot, more considered pacing, better jokes and no licenced music - the negative reviews just believe they did not.
Eh...I thought Mickey gained back some ground with the new Mickey cartoons. They seemed popular enough and gave an edge back to Mickey so he isn't so bland compared to the previous incarnation.Thought this was common knowledge https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1993-05-18-1993138174-story.html
While I’m at it the only way you hear Mickey Mouse mentioned in this decade is to describe sports teams that did well during COVID due to the Lakers winning the finals in Walt Disney World. Disney keeps making flops, where Mickey at though, exactly. Some of these reviews talk as if videogames and Mario are extremely niche and only for weird nerds or some shit, are you kidding me. Mario is legit a cultural icon, remember how they announced the Tokyo Olympics? Exactly
I think the meltdown here is a little overblown. Movie critics were never going to like overly gamey things and the score can go up. That being said…
TEAM FROG ON TOP BABY
If Mickey gained ground, it's probably from the pre-Kindergarten animated offerings from the last decade, that's huge among kids and parents, as is the merch.Eh...I thought Mickey gained back some ground with the new Mickey cartoons.

I think Mario and Mickey are pretty much at the same level of recognizability right now (although Mickey might be more transgenerational), but acting like the face of one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world, one that got in this decade two new (and great!) tv shows, two rides, that is still everywhere in the theme parks and on the ships, whether it be as a character, Mickey ears, Mickey shaped food, hidden Mickeys, etc, is somehow a noname next to Mario is pretty laughable.While I’m at it the only way you hear Mickey Mouse mentioned in this decade is to describe sports teams that did well during COVID due to the Lakers winning the finals in Walt Disney World.

I mean in recent years. Kingdom Hearts is a 20+ year old franchise at this point. The newer Mickey shorts that started in 2013 and continued in its newest incarnation in 2020 have seemed to have a far reach in appeal.If Mickey gained ground, it's probably from the pre-Kindergarten animated offerings from the last decade, that's huge among kids and parents, as is the merch.
Yeah I’m not going to see a Mario movie for it’s story but licensed just seems so unnecessary and tonally wrong.I don’t mind a thin plot and slightly fast pacing but licensed music being in the movie is lowkey scaring me
It would be nice if people talking about the movie could identify themselves on this cinephile iceberg meme. I don't really see this movie holding much appeal for anyone in the "outcast" crowd or below, considering how far up their own asses those people tend to be

In general, fast pacing is a win. It keeps you engaged.Really curious about the audience reception. Seems they leaned heavily on fast pacing and an adherence to the movie really feeling like the games.
hmmmmmm i dunno, engagement is more complicated than that for me. something fast paced can move so fast that you have no idea what happened, meanwhile a film like 2001 (probably my favorite of all time) i am engrossed on the super long shots.In general, fast pacing is a win. It keeps you engaged.
Well it's a 30+year old franchise with a lot of iconic/beloved music, ranging from chiptunes to fully orchestrated, so I'd imagine people were hoping to hear some of that orchestrated for the big screen. Or an original film score of some kind.Why do people care about licensed music? I don't get it
