It will be like the Warcraft movie, people will blow with excitement during the release thanks to all the fanservice, but after the honeymoon phase is over it will be swept under the rug for lacking a solid narrative.

Honestly while the Warcraft Movie was kind of meh cause of the Pacing needing to go at the speed of light..the only actual WTF moment I can think of was making Garona Medivh's daugther.

Basically every movie that's been a big hit the last 3 years it utterly forgotten except Spiderman and Top Gun. Remember the last Minions movie? Almost $370m. Avatar has done it twice, in, make fortune, totally forgotten in months. And Bad Boys For Life?

It's seems to be the standard now that movies do pretty well and just vaporize, vanish.

Girlboss Peach confirmed. Fuck me. *sigh*

Yep, expected as much...

Now hold on, she's not really seen in this clip as a girlboss. I'd say this one more or less a homage to her own solo game for the DS.

No, fuck you, it's my turn to be a fucking sperg and collect my puzzle pieces.

Peach in her solo game was shown as using her emotions in incredibly comedic ways from rage that looks cute more than anything to crying rivers and everything in between. She is of course more than capable of clearing that obstacle course. But her body language is NOTHING like Peach. She would be all smiles, use her parasol for a good chunk of it and move almost like a ballerina with that ditzy smile of hers and break that mock bowser with her butt. Such a wasted opportunity for comedic effect as well.

I could buy her body language from Daisy, but not fucking Peach.

Source? This isn't on the Wikipedia page and Mario waking up to "wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy" was a common joke in greentexts back when the movie was first announced to be produced by Illumination. Then there's other long outdated meme songs like Party Rock and Holding Out For A Hero from Shrek 2. Smh you guys are so gullible

Reviews have mentioned "odd music choices" but I'm not seeing this either.

It's not gullibility. It's called TRUST.

(That one reviewer said the score was good except for all the 80's Rock so you're probably right.)

Man, FUCK The Super Mario Bros. Movie; The Super Mario Brothers Super Show is where it's at.

We're the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's our game
We're not like the others who get all the fame
If your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double
We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the Brothers, uh!
H-hooked on the brothers
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme!)
Yo, you're in for a treat, so hang on to your seat
Get ready for adventure and remarkable feats
You'll meet Koopa, the Troopas, the Princess, and the others
Hangin' with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers!
To the bridge!
Uh, uh!
I said-a h-h-h-h-hooked on the brothers!
The brothers!
The brothers!

This guy seems like a sperg but it's a decent overview of the good and bad of the reviews so far. I did hear a couple conflicting things like "there are no jokes" vs. "20 jokes a minute" but for the most part it seems like the movie leans pretty heavily on easter eggs and references and the characters and story suffer for it. A couple reviews even seemed to imply kids might be bored watching this (they won't be, iPad kids are retarded).

All that said, I imagine most of us here (as adults) only plan on watching this at some point for the sake of pretty graphics and "I saw Yoshi and I CLAPPED" and it sounds like that's mostly what the movie gets right. It's a shame it can't be actually good but considering this is an Illumination picture it's more surprising it's not utter dogshit. In ten years when we've gotten 5 Mario movies, 2 Donkey Kong movies, 2 Zelda movies, and a Kirby movie, we can all look back at this point and wish the movie would have been worse to prevent the incoming Marvel replacement.

It's visually pleasing at the very least, so it has that going for it.

Okay, well played. Still, I'm very worried about this new movie, and would just be a fun kids movie.
