Eh, outside of Bowser I feel like the rest of the casting is more miss than hit. Peach may be passable when we get to hear a bit more range from her dialog (it does seem to fit her confidence levels) but everyone else just feels off. Even the Toads sound bad. Mario and Luigi get it the worst. I have no idea what the director was going for.

 

The movie itself seems to be coming along harmless enough. Still not sure I want/need to see a Mario origin story, but the DK bit was silly and a nice homage to the OG rival and it is loaded with easter eggs which will be fun to sift through down the line.

You know those guys who made all those shitty Ice Age sequels? They made The Peanuts Movie and it turned out spectacular because the Schulz estate ruled its production with an iron fist over every fac

There was more Mario music in that 1:30 clip than there was classic Sonic music in the entirety of both Sonic movies combined. Everything about this film feels like a love letter to the Mario franchis

Who's excited to see the Toads be turned into the minions of this movie?

Oh no, the Toads don't have their annoying screechy voices from the games, how tragic....

I never said the sounded good in the games either lol.

 

Seriously though the adorable Toad seems stuck somewhere in-between a Lisp and a Rasp. Its weird.

 

Peach's VA grew on me quick. She sounds confident and that's what they were going for. If that's the case, then it fits this version of the character.

I don't know how many Luigi fans are here, but I don't really like the he's the damsel here. Like I understand the appeal in Peach having an expanded role, but I don't like that it's done at Luigi's expense. Like a big part of Mario is him and Luigi's brotherly bond and teamwork, and it seems like we're going to get way less of that if he's just captured for most of the film. Like I wish they could've just had Luigi work with the rest of the crew and maybe have no one get captured (if you really want a personal stake for Mario, Bowser could've threatened to take over New Donk) kinda like Mario 2, NSMB, and 3D World.

I fucking loved that trailer, like, REALLY MUCH. The more blocky levels are some kind of obstacle courses? That's brilliant in my opinion. But also the more "grounded" places like the bridge with the fish seems like it's just a place in the world. 

I just hope all this cool stuff won't go to waste because the writers fucked up with toilet humour and a bland story. Who are the writers, anyways? It ain't the Mitchells vs the Machines writers, no?

Tbh I'm not a fan of them using gameplay elements in the movie as Mario travels through kingdoms, literal level design in the movie... not sure how I feel about it. It's a cool reference, I guess.

By the way, I actually laughed at the jokes this time, Peach being done and Toads being adorable are funny, Mario's voice is the usual Pratt meh but this is the vibe I'm getting in general with the cast, Jack Black I agree sounds good as Bowser, and I'm looking forward to Seth Rogen as DK, the rest... not sure.

The directions for the cast: AT LEAST WE HAVE THEM, in the main games they barely have personality, sure spin-offs and RPGs feature them in a significant way, I'm not sure I like the current stereotypes because they are generic, but simple, I think they work well. Peach is the most interesting because she is not the main damsel in distress this time, Luigi is, uhm I don't think Luigi will be made a disservice though, but I'm so glad Peach does stuff to be fair. Toad plays the role of the sidekick, Peach leads. Also we really are getting to see all the kingdoms, it seems like Donkey Kong is part of the Country kingdom led by Cranky, plus the Penguins Kingdom. And in general they are cramming everything they can into 1 movie, so the opposite approach to Sonic movies, got it lol

Just saw the trailer and I really enjoyed it!  I loved how bright the animation is and Bowser and Princess Peach are really growing on me. It's nice to see Princess Peach take on a more proactive role in this movie.  I'm fine with Chris Pratt's voice for Mario, although I wished that he put on an Italian accent or a Brooklyn accent for the character.  But, I'm still excited to see this movie!

It's not like Luigi's ever been captured before...

Ya know, that guy...who Mario has to save, in Mario Galaxy, Mario 3D Land, Mario & Luigi (the first one).

Yes, but Mario games are a dime a dozen. A Mario film, though, as a very rare opportunity, and I just wish Luigi would get his chance to shine on the big screen considering he's liked more than Mario himself. Like, again, I fail to understand how the film can effectively sell the two as brothers if they're not gonna spend much time together on-screen.
