Mega Tank | 967 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 It looks promising. I won't be running out to theaters to watch it, but I'll get around to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Movie actually looks decent. Not a fan of pratt as Mario. The voices are going to take time to get used to... Hopefully see more dialogue soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,744 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 It looks like it will be on par with the Sonic movies. Not amazing, but certainly not hot garbage either. If I didn't have kids, I probably wouldn't bother seeing it, but since I know they will enjoy it, I will probably take them. Funny that the trailer released on my birthday, and the actual movie will release right before my oldest son's birthday. It will be fun to take them as a birthday present. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link | 2,715 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Pratt's voice is fine. Captain Lou's Brooklyn accent will always be my ideal. I just thank god they didn't use Martinet. Idk how anybody could stand listening to that goofiness for 90 minutes. But he is still listed on the imdb page. I'm guessing he'll have a cameo callout. Charlie Day is fantastic. I would've thought he'd be overstated for Luigi, but he's doing the scared aspect very nicely. And much better than the corny fauxtalian voice they've given the character lately. I like Keegan-Michael Key's take on Toad. It sounds like he was a fan growing up, nice mix of his voice and the rasp the character had in the cartoon. I've never heard of Anya Taylor-Joy. I don't have a problem with her act. Looking at her roles thus far I think this would be be her breakthrough. Jack Black's Bowser is good. I'm sure he had fun being the bad guy. Yet to hear Fred Armisen but I'm sure he will chew the scenery as usual as Cranky Kong I wouldn't have thought of Seth Rogen for Donkey Kong but it totally makes sense. imdb has it listed as "The Super Mario Bros Film" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Anya Taylor-Joy has been around for a bit. Id say Split was the one that put her on the map. Kind of a lose-lose for Mario. Martinet would be tough with significant dialogue and a new person will always be criticized. I'm more tired of the same 5 actors being in every big movie but I guess it's always kinda been like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickman | 3,995 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Looks pretty decent. Pratt sounded bland as Mario, which is a shame. The rest sounded great though. Animation looks good but Mario’s face looks really weird to me for some reason. Like someone has messed with his face on the intro screen of Mario 64. Will be a solid Pirate Bay download I think! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his eyes and face are a bit smaller proportionally to his head. I immediately noticed that too. #FixUglyMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart010 | 1,708 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I’m thinking Nintendo probably didn’t care who the voice actors are. But their consultants in the film industry told them they need big names for the voice actors even though you won’t see their faces in the movie. It’s part of the marketing of the film. Which is why they showed little interviews with the voice actors to get everyone that’s not so into video games excited. Charles Martinet is getting old. They probably needed to start looking for a new Mario voice actor anyways and I wouldn’t be surprised if after this movie Pratt becomes the new standard Mario voice for Mario in all future games 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really enough for me to have a solid opinion on Mario from that little snippet. What little I did hear sounded like it was just Chris Pratt's standard voice... maybe the slightest twinge of an accent. The other characters sounded okay... even Bowser. although he started sounding overly Jack Black-ish on the "Who's gonna stop me?" line 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn’t want to jump on Link about that statement but Link you really need to do yourself a favour and check out some of the movies and Tv she’s in. Fantastic actor. This movie is honestly below her talents, but if it helps people get to know her better that’s probably why she said yes to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 8,889 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Visually, it looks great, way better than I expected it to. The expressiveness of the characters is amazing, especially when compared to what we've seen in years upon years of cutscenes in games, it's on a whole other level. Really don't like Chris Pratt's Mario, there is zero character in the voice, it's as basic a performance as they come... I would much prefer the gruff, Brooklyn style Mario voice, with a bit of bite to it, something to contrast against the sugary sweetness of the mushroom kingdom. I'm sure it will be a serviceable performance in the end, but I'm not feeling it at all right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might get a soundalike though, a la Lorenzo Music doing a Bill Murray character. 4 hours ago, G-type said: Are you serious? VVitch was her breakthrough. I don't actually pay attention.

Sumez | 2,968 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Vvitch is a very popular movie, but it's kinda niche compared to something like Queen's Gambit which was a huge show for a while, and honestly a pretty good respectable one. Anya Taylor Joy is in pretty much everything these days, even moreso than Chris Pratt, which is impressive. I think Oscar Isaac is the only one who has her beat.

CodysGameRoom | 2,008 Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) I don't have any problems with Pratt's voice. Is it the IDEAL Mario voice in my opinion? Nope. But it'll do. Much more concerned if whether the story is good and the movie is a proper nod to the game series overall. So far, I think it looks great.
