Full review: https://fandomwire.com/the-super-mario-galaxy-movie-review/ Rating: B+"The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a sequel that, while losing some of the narrative cohesion of its predecessor, gains massively in spectacle, ambition, and heart. Through animation that redefines the studio's standards and a Brian Tyler score that masterfully honors Nintendo's legacy, the film offers a memorable experience anchored by inspired vocal performances. For those who grew up with these characters, it's impossible to remain indifferent to the magic emanating from every animated frame or the way this space odyssey manages to transform nostalgia into something vibrant and new. It's a visually emotional feast that reaffirms the power of pure entertainment as a tool capable of transporting us back to the happiest moments of our personal history, proving that cinema is still the place where we can all become children again."Full review: https://fandomwire.com/the-super-mario-galaxy-movie-review/ Rating: B+"The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a sequel that, while losing some of the narrative cohesion of its predecessor, gains massively in spectacle, ambition, and heart.

**A film that could have had great potential** As a huge Nintendo fan, I have to say that I found this film strange and hollow, with a lot of wasted potential. It isn't like the first one, which at least had a basic structure to the main plot and some character development (I ended up liking the film). But this one doesn't even have a solid plot or character development. I have felt like I was watching fragmented scenes, which had disappointed me a lot; it could have a great story and be more enjoyable I hope the next film will be better than this one, as one of my biggest fears is watching adaptations made solely to exploit our nostalgia.**A film that could have had great potential** As a huge Nintendo fan, I have to say that I found this film strange and hollow, with a lot of wasted potential.

This movie is stupid trash. You should know that before going in. You should know that without me telling you. There are rules for stupid trash: 1. Keep it short. 2. Have some cool shit in there. This stupid trash is both short AND has cool shit. Rosalina is so hot. I want to be a star baby sucking on her teat. Fox McCloud?!!! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIIIIIIIT!! I watched this in Spanish because I wanted to see what 3D tech was like these days. It's good. They use it well and it makes watching this trash more fun. I love how stupidly they treat the plot. None of it matters. Don't worry about it. Enjoy the colours. The smoke. The wind. The references. It's fine. Relax. FOX MCCLOUD!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This movie is stupid trash. You should know that before going in. You should know that without me telling you.

It was engaging from start to finish. My minor gripe is that they introduced a scene that was deemed controversial by fans and removed it from the games yet they decided to add it to the movie, ok lol. Other than that, every scene had the right amount of comedy, action, suspense, and dramatic shot transitioned perfectly. The characters seemed much more themselves here than in the previous installmentIt was engaging from start to finish.

Now I know that I'm not really the demographic for this, but I didn't mind the last one from 2023 so had an open mind as it started. Princess 'Peach' is kidnapped by the menacing baby 'Bowser' who is none too pleased that his dad has been locked up. He is determined to use her as leverage to free him, but that is exactly what intrepid and ingenious 'Mario' and 'Luigi' intend to thwart. What now ensues is the thinnest of stories stretched across a messy collection of interstellar scenarios as they bounce from world to world trying to rescue the royal damsel in distress. I always reckoned that the amiable mushroom people belonged more in an Arabian Nights tale than a sci-fi cartoon, but even their innocent cheeriness can't really enliven this rapidly and colourfully edited together sequence of pinball-machine style scenes. There is surprisingly little effort made to characterise either the goodies or the baddies and the frenetic nature of the animation barely leaves us time to draw breath before we ascend to another level and pretty much repeat as before - only with slightly different props and goals. It's not so much that this lacks a beginning, middle and end - it is more that it just comes across as contant sequence of scenes that could all see the film conclude as predictably as the sun coming up. Perhaps very young children might enjoy the sheer buzz of this, but there really isn't anything visually or from the script to entertain the grown ups. I bet the merch merchants are happy, though.Now I know that I'm not really the demographic for this, but I didn't mind the last one from 2023 so had an open mind as it started.

You know how, sometimes, you get a burger that's so thin, overcooked, and leathery that it stops being a"burger" and starts being"a vehicle for condiments"? That, to me, is Super Mario Galaxy: The story/writing is simply there to deliver Nintendo-brand nostalgia. As someone with deep love and fond memories of Nintendo, I'm okay with this---but I'm not going to pretend that the story is the narrative equivalent of Wagyu beef. Contrary to what some of the less charitable critics say, the movie does have a cogent story: Bowser Jr. aims to rescue his father from his imprisonment and bring the dreams they shared when Jr. was young to fruition. To do that, he kidnaps Princess Rosalina, the mother of the stars, to siphon her magic. The gang sets off to rescue the Princess. A simple enough premise; certainly serviceable. It isn't winning any awards for novelty but not everything needs to be"high art" to be enjoyable. But it fails on even this modest ambition. The execution is riddled with enough _deus ex_ to fill a Greek pantheon. Character motivations are inconsistent without real evolution. There are so many zany little subplots that it's like they worried that the audience's attention span would run out---yet they still made the thing run for over 2 hours. Fortunately, the metaphorical"condiment" was delicious---like biting into that burger expecting Hunt's ketchup but getting homemade garlic aoli mayo. The quality of the animation made the film's many callbacks enjoyable. I found myself smiling a lot and actually thinking"dang, I really _should_ get around to playing [redacted Mario game(s)]". Which, I'm certain is all Nintendo really hoped for rather than making a genuinely excellent stand-alone cinematic experience. In sum, it's not something I regret seeing---especially with my family. Though it is something I wish I had saved the video game's worth of money waiting for it to come out on streaming rather than seeing it in theaters.You know how, sometimes, you get a burger that's so thin, overcooked, and leathery that it stops being a"burger" and starts being"a vehicle for condiments"?

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is an amazing movie with great voice acting and nostalgia from other Mario games. I personally think nothing is wrong with this movie, unless you are someone who's only played the games on the NES or the new games. If you are, you may not get some of the references like(spoiler alert) Star Fox, Ukiki, Rosalina, Luma's, and some other stuff. I would recomend watching if you've seen the first and if you've played Mario Galaxy.The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is an amazing movie with great voice acting and nostalgia from other Mario games.

**It's the thing! It's the thing from the game! Point at the screen and clap!** I know this is a kids movie, and I feel like if you have a kid that's under 12 years old they'd probably love it... But as an adult, this was a slog. The first movie wasn't a masterpiece but it at least had some heart and some semblance of a story, this one was an incredibly superficial advertisement for anything Nintendo. Look, it's Yoshi! Look, it's Pikmin! Look, it's Birdo! It's the bee from Mario Galaxy! It's R.O.B.! It's pilot guy! Please clap. And everything has zero substance. To quote another review:"This movie was like watching youtube shorts about jingling keys stitched together". The voice acting was also so mediocre, I can't get over this Hollywood thing of hiring popular actors instead of anyone talented. Jack Black as Bowser is **abysmal**, he's not even trying anymore. It just sounds like Jack Black. The ending... Wow. The movie just _ends._ Nothing is really resolved and everything is pushed under the rug. They defeat Bowser Jr. and the movie just instantly ends one minute later. Remember when Peach was desperate to meet and talk to Rosalina? Or maybe they can add a scene to wrap up Bowser & Bowser Jr.'s story arc? Whatever. Roll credits. At the very least I can acknowledge the animation is top-notch, Illumination low-key has better artists than Pixar these days.**It's the thing! It's the thing from the game!

Reacher Star Alan Ritchson Loves Call Of Duty, Would Be Up For Being In The Movie

Alan Ritchson, known for his role as Aquaman on Smallville and Jack Reacher on Reacher, has revealed that Call of Duty is his favorite video game and that he would be interested in appearing in the upcoming Call of Duty movie. Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast , Richtson said video game adaptations"scare me a little bit" because"so few work." He's right that video game movies have a spotty track record when it comes to critical and commercial success, with many notable flops, like 2024's Borderlands . There have been huge hits, too, including The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Minecraft."I think the ones that work are the ones that are made directly for kids. Minecraft is a good example. If you make it for kids first, or it's fun... or self-aware, they tend to work. But ones that take themselves too seriously ... [shrugs]. It has to know what it is and it has to be ready to have a good time," he explained. Alan Ritchson and his muscles in a scene from Reacher. Asked if he would be up for a role in the Call of Duty movie, he said,"I do love Call of Duty, man... if the story is right." He also advocated for the Call of Duty movie to feature Zombies, which he said are the best part of the Call of Duty series. The Call of Duty movie is set in the Modern Warfare universe , which is not normally associated with the franchise's Zombies mode. But in Hollywood, anything is possible. https://twitter.com/Logan_Taaffe_/status/2080401000675029023 The Call of Duty movie has no confirmed casting yet, but we do know it's going to be directed by Lone Survivor's Peter Berg, with Sicario's Taylor Sheridan writing. Paramount is producing the movie. As for the Call of Duty game series, Modern Warfare 4 is the next entry in the series and it's coming this October. A free multiplayer beta takes place in August.
