'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' (2023) is fun. Fans and casuals of the Mario franchise will certainly be entertained with the dazzling visuals and countless Easter Eggs and references to all sorts of games/media from Mario and Nintendo. But if you've never played a Mario game you might feel a little out of place as the film is based around these references to the games people have grown up with.
The animation is amazing and the visuals give it such as a cinematic feel its just dazzling at times. Enough for you to wish the film was longer so you can watch the Mushroom Kingdom live in action. Unfortunately the story is pretty simple and fast-pace, but still entertaining. The voice acting is better than what people were expecting from the voice-actor reveal. Jack Black as Bowser is for sure the highlight.
The film is definitely worth watching for anyone who has played a Mario game as you will quickly have enough fun to just spot the countless references throughout the film. Newbies may feel awkward but the visuals are good enough to keep you or more likely a kid entertained.
ALSO, watch till the very end for some great mid-credits and post-credits scenes!
