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.

Mediocre is too kind. The Mario movie was bad.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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...
