SuperMarioBrosMovie Review: Proof That Beloved IP Isn't Enough
Nearly 30 years after Nintendo's last movie based on their beloved Mario franchise — the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros. film — the Japanese company has partnered with Illumination for a second attempt at a theatrical release with The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The film combines Illumination's bright, candy-colored 3D animation style with Nintendo's Mario world designs and assembles a star-studded voice cast worthy of the Mushroom Kingdom's Superstar.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie was directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic from a script by Matthew Fogel . The plot of the movie takes a little while to get going, focusing on establishing Mario and Luigi as Brooklyn plumbers, their relationship with their family and their dynamic together. Even with that time spent on Mario and Luigi, the film doesn't offer a strong sense of who they are beyond the archetypes of strong older brother and fumbling younger brother.
The film is filled with so many references and Easter eggs to the game that even die-hard fans will likely need a second viewing to catch them all, but that's the film's main offering. Its story is neither compelling nor strong on its own, and is simply used as a vehicle to take Mario from one game-based adventure to the next.
