SuperMarioMovie Review by TheJonathanSim: A Successful Video Game Film
, Hollywood has been on a hot streak of redeeming itself from its previous terrible attempts at cinematic game adaptations. Unfortunately, the failure of the 1993film prevented Nintendo from making any more movies with their IP until now. Illumination, the animation studio behind, gives us a new adventure that turns out to be a lot of fun, capturing the heart of the video games we grew up playing.
Children will love this movie for its humor, bright colors, and sense of adventure. Adults will love this movie because they grew up playing the Super Mario Bros. video games, and the film is filled to the brim with easter eggs. Lovers of the games will be happy to see scenes that are taken directly from the source material. This movie sometimes feels more like a series of references to the games, strung together by a thin story designed for nostalgia.
