From what I saw of a camrip encrusted with ads for gambling sites, the Mario movie hits every bad kids' movie cliche people predicted would be in it before the 10 min mark.
It’s LITERALLY every kid's movie Illumination has made this exact same movie like, 9 times. The writing is incredibly lazy and hits every cliche like the scripters had a checklist they were consulting to make sure they wrote them in. Like, Mario hates mushrooms! Ha ha! It is the most Hollywood hack writer type of film. The voice acting is, except for I will grudgingly admit Jack Black who has actual VA experience, terrible. Standard movie-actors-phoning-it-in VA work, all of the video game voice actors can voice act better than all these guys.
And why do the Mario Bros. have a big family they need to have drama with, who actually wants to see this, even the most braindead CONSOOMers who will mindlessly shill for this sort of movie.
