Nintendo and Illumination is officially a match made in heaven. As the Super Mario Bros. movie has dethroned Frozen 2 as the biggest box office opening for an animated film in history. Like ever. like any animated film ever created that Super Mario Bros. was bigger than. Now who would have thought that the savior of video games

was also going to be the savior of video game movies? Now honestly, I feel like this is a pretty common sense thing to come to as far as a conclusion. because Mario obviously saved gaming when, you know, he saved the Atari back in like the 1980s all the way, well, all the way in 2023 and Mario is still carrying Nintendo on his back like LeBron in 2018. So anyways, for video game connoisseurs, you know and you just knew that they was going to go out and support the Mario Bros movie.

because from the NES days, you could probably see how a movie could be successful starring Mario. I mean, this man has been everything from a plumber to a tennis player to a race car driver. Who else?

To a track star, shout out to Mario and Sonic, the Olympic Games, and to an Olympic swimmer. Like, all the Olympic sports, he's done that. all while saving the world plus saving peach every two seconds I mean Bowser just steals her

he's going to get Peach and they're telling him he went to the wrong castle every single time that he's going through all these different obstacles he gets to the ultimate conclusion and they just tell him he had the wrong castle like Mario has been through it Mario has done everything like at this point Mario needs to get the

LeBron James treatment times a thousand Because this man hasn't been carrying since when LeBron getting to the league. I figured when he got into league. But he's been like what? Two decades at this point that he's been in the league. So what's that? 2003, right? I think so.

Mario has been in the game since 1980. So no title. I don't even know what a retirement tour would look like for Mario because he ain't falling off anytime soon. There's one thing that fall in time doesn't affect. And that's fictional creations. And Mario has been going strong as far as bringing the Nintendo cash since 1980s, since the 1980s. Like, man, like, what type of creativity did the person who created Mario have to come up with such a long, jevity type plan like this?

Like, obviously, he probably had help, but, man, no type of fictional creation has stood the test of time. like Mario i don't have to look out i would have to look at when spider man was created but i'm pretty sure mario was one of the more uh successful video uh just fictional creations of all time now as far as like personal favorites you know you know for me is all day spider man but anyways that's not why y'all came here y'all want to hear my review for super mario bros the movie let me tell you something all the critics who came out to say this was one of the way and yes i got a call out some of my favorite creators and it's going to hurt my heart. All the critics who came out and said that Super Mario Bros. was trash and one of the worst movies they've ever seen. I'm not going to lie to you.

They should get their critic badge revoke because I'm not specifically talking about this one person, but when I saw the Beyond the trailer, which is like one of my favorite YouTube creators in general, so don't think I'm trying to take shots. It's just one of the points I got to make. Beyond the trailer, slash like grace randolph um she put out that the super mario bro's movie was one of the worst movies she ever seen like ever laid eyes on i was like say it ain't so i was sitting back like please say psych i was so upset and then i realized what she said and i looked at the movie not even like i haven't even watched the movie at this point i just looked at the trailer again i'm like surely this can't be one of the worst movies you've ever seen because the animation is on 10.

Like this is Illumination we're talking about. Obviously the story, the characters can't have no like character development. The story could be trash. But as far as animation, it can't be one of the worst you've ever seen. Like the animation is always on point for Illumination. I don't care what's happening in the story. Illumination is like it's like the Tom Brady of animation. Like Illumination had two billion dollar movies.

before they even acquired the rights to make a Mario movie. They had Despicable Me 3, which reached a billion dollars. They had the Minions movie, which reached a billion dollars. Had people coming out in suits for no reason. Like, what other studio do you know has people dressing up in suits to go see a movie? Anyways, and then there was a third one. I think it was Minions 2 or Despicable Me 2. I forget, but that one almost reached a billion.

So anyways, basically what I'm saying is Illumination in Nintendo, like I said at the beginning, was a match made in heaven. And that's how I felt about this whole movie. I mean, from the people, from Chris Pratt to Charlie Day to the MVP of the movie, Jack Black as Bowser, I'm not going to lie to you.

It was star-studied from start to finish, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the movies. And it was like to the point where it was like, man, Am I a child? Like, why am I enjoying these jokes and this animation style and just everything about the movie? Like, why am I enjoying this so much? Like, I must be a little kid. I must be a little boy.

I ain't going to lie to you. So while I was watching this movie, I had to sit back and like, wow, this movie is great. Like, I'm just like, as a kid, I'm pretty sure it would be 10 times even greater because me, I'm trying to look at the intricacies. I'm like, okay, what do they, like, what could be? so bad about this movie and I couldn't find a single thing I mean Jack Black when he came on as Bowser which was like at the very start of the movie which isn't a spoiler because it was in a trailer um the trailer shows the beginning of the movie so it's not like a spoiler I'm not going into spoilers but um Jack Black as Bowser is is probably one of the most perfect castings I've seen since

like Toby McGuire and Spider-Man like that's probably what I'll say like that's just like that casting saved the movie for me because I ain't going to lie to you Chris Pratt as Mario, I feel like they could have found somebody better. But, you know, as far as Star Power, I guess it makes sense. But, you know, he definitely didn't stand out. Like Charlie Deyes-Louigi stood out way more to me as a great voice than Chris Brett as Mario. But Jack Black as Bowser, man, just leaps of bounds above everybody. And also, the person who played Peach, she did pretty good.

Ania, Taylor Joy, she was pretty solid. What else? It was other standouts. The guy who played Donkey. Oh, Seth Rogan. Seth Rogan played Donkey Kong. I'm about to be so disrespectful. I'm about to be like, oh, yeah, the guy who played him.

But anyways, y'all get it. It was a start-study cast from top to bottom. Who else am I missing? Oh, Keegan from like Kean Peel, Michael Keegan. Michael Key, he was the voice of Toad, you know, like the first person Mario runs into. Wait, well, okay. That's almost a spoiler. technically was partial spoiler my fault no more spoilerless i promise but anyways um actually i do

have one more spoiler but this is like not significant to the story it's just funny so there's this character right that is just laughing at the fact that everybody's like about to perish let me just say that and uh it's one of the funniest moments in the movie and then after the fact it comes back and it's like okay now that's a spoiler but basically this is let's just let's just let's just just say it's a star figure and you know what I'm talking about when you see the movie. It's probably one of the more hilarious parts in the movie, but the most hilarious part is when Jack Black was singing as Bowser. I'm not going to lie to you. I thought this man was trying to get a Grammy the way he was singing. Like he was singing like Mariah Carey and Beyonce

was in the room. Like he was just going crazy because it was a love song for Peach and it's literally titled Peaches like Nintendo put it out and everything. That's how fire this track is. is like usually you don't see that for animation like they sing a movie or they sing a song and then they just move on maybe it's a part of the soundtrack but they don't release a whole music video for it like what is this uh um what's that lemonade site i forget what's called but basically this ain't no music site like you know we we put in our movies and for jack black to go crazy on that track like i thought he was like i couldn't tell if that was jack black or rod wave because this man was singing his heart out, like it was broken a million times.

Like this man was going into the chorus, coming back out to give another verse. I mean, my favorite part is when he said, at, he said, quote, at the end of the line, what do you say? So this is a kid's movie, right? And this is, like I said, this could technically be a spoiler, but it's more like comedic jokes and not too serious. It's not like a serious plot point. Bowser sings, at the end of the line,

I'll make you mind. And Bo when he said that or when he sung that, I was like, this is over. This man needs a Grammy. I ain't go allowed to you. They literally need to create just an animation category for Jack Black because that was, that was, that was magnificent, man.

It was beautiful, it was beautiful, man. I almost shed a tear. I was like, man, if only Peach, if only Peach, love Bowser back. Anyways, so that's basically my review. It's nothing too crazy. It was a fire movie from start to finish. I don't want to spoil anything because I really do think you should see this.

And as a fellow gamer, I mean, my title of my podcast is notorious mass effect. So I love games. And for Mario to be technically the savior of gaming, I just felt like it was in my due diligence to go see the movie. I did. It was fire from start to finish. I ain't going to lie to you. Like, the way the critics came out, I'm not a conspiracy theory type person, but, But bro, there's no way.

There's no way people hated the movie that bad. Just from the animation alone. I'm telling you, the animation alone is a 7 out of 10. Like, forget the story, anything. Animation alone is a 7 out of 10. So after that, you get into like the story, the character development, and you can rate it yourself. But to say it's the worst you've ever seen, which is multiple critics.

I don't want to just go straight at like beyond the trailer because I watch her all the time and I still watch her. And yeah, a lot of it. of critics came out and they was just bro that take was like this movie this movie is beautiful like literally like if you see it in a in the movies like you will get your money's worth like it's one of those things where if you actually see it on a big screen you can get the added benefits of it and especially in 3d some of the race scenes uh i don't want to give too much but yeah so go see it as fire is out now and boy is it one of the best uh movies i've seen this year so you

Click my link to my bio. Let me know. Oh, no, no. Also, it's one of the best video game movies I've ever seen, which, you know, it's not really a high bar. That's why I said best movies. But anyways, so that's besides the point. Click my link to you in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. Have you seen the Super Mario Bros. movie? And if you have, do you think it's fire or trash? And also, do you think, oh, no, what was your, who was your favorite character in the movie?
