Post your thoughts ITT if anyone else sees it.
I thought it was really fun and pretty funny albeit kind of all over the place. Seeing Fox and Rob make their appearance was really neat, though it also felt like they were trying to just throw in a whole bunch of characters/elements from as many games as possible (Mr. Game & Watch cameo?). Again, a fun watch and great animation, but felt at times more like a Super Mario Franchise movie than the Super Mario Galaxy movie. RIP to the castle rebuilding scene’s animation budget lol. The 2D was fun but felt out of place IMO.

I felt the same way about that last part, but I loved all of the references in the movie.

I’m pretty disappointed, since I really liked the first one which was very rewatchable with many memorable scenes and quotes, and a relatively easy to follow plot.
This one had so much pointless exposition or scenes that had little to no source from Mario’s world/situations, while also doing more than one very literal SMB gameplay scenes. Many scenes overstaying their welcome with too many pointless action scenes. Few quotable or memorable moments, and a convoluted plot/progression that’s hard to follow or remember how or why things happened. It’s like it had a solid beginning and ending but then they handed it off to a different team to fill in the middle.
One example is Mini Bowser, which was funny and cute at the end of the first movie, but we didn’t need more. Bowser Jr could have rescued him in the beginning of this one and that be it, but nooo they had to drag that out for waaay too long.
Also I’m pissed the credits were done in paper/cardboard yet they didn’t think to do a Paper Mario reference.

Best thing was a girl in line at the theater saw my Paper Mario shirt and was super excited.
“Wow look it’s Paper Mario!”
“The best kind of Mario” I replied
