You mean the 93 movie? I loved that!

When I first read this comment, I thought you were talking about Super Mario Bros (1993) and was about to throw hands. Because that movie is actually good, if deeply flawed. Its flaws make for a more entertaining movie altogether.

Huge Mario fan here, I unironically think the 90s movie is better.

I wasn’t even born when that movie came out so don’t “hur durr nostalgia” me

Mediocre is too kind. The Mario movie was bad.

I took my kids. They kind of enjoyed it, but forgot about it almost immediately.

I finally watched it after hearing good things and wow, yep. Incredibly mediocre, cashing in on nostalgia.

I did enjoy the music, though, but probably mostly because of nostalgia and my love for NES/SNES Mario games.

I made it through 5 minutes before I stopped and deleted it. Most of the time I just close the player and plan on coming back to it when my mood is different, but with Mario I felt this visceral sensation of "nope."

No regrets.

Funny you mention the MCU because the audience for those movies is practically the same. For everything I've read and seen it basically sounds like a animated MCU movie

The story feels rushed and incoherent. Characters without character and chemistry. It's a film in which every aspect of its production was solely determined by the amount of money that was put into it. If Jack Black can't save a mediocre film...

I'm still mad it basically kicked the DnD movie out of theaters. If it wasn't for all the hype for Mario, I think the DnD movie would have done a lot better, but that's partly their fault for choosing a terrible time to release a movie - a week or two before the biggest video game franchise of all time releases their movie.
