Y’ALL THE MARIO MOVIE WAS SO GOOD MY INNER CHILD IS SCREAMING /POS

(No spoilers in tags! Just a vague overview of my thoughts!)

#super mario brothers #super mario brothers movie #jack black as bowser was absolutely impeccable no notes #i also just generally love what they did with bowser's character #they managed to make him kind of goofy while still making him a total force to be reckoned with #it really opens up the possibilities if they do another one #luigi is just a silly little guy!! let him be!! #AND PRINCESS PEACH MY BELOVEDDDD!!!!! #WE STAN A GIRLBOSS #keegan michael key was obviously also superb as toad!!! #he captured toad so well while still giving it his own spin #and i honestly loved seth rogen as donkey kong #like YEAH it's the same thing we've been giving chris pratt guff for but he was actually kind of perfect #dk was really different from the games but i think it was a good choice #AND OKAY DON'T HATE ME FOR THIS #CHRIS PRATT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF GREAT AS MARIO #was he perfect? #i wouldn't say that #the movie really took a step out from the original source material and chris pratt definitely worked in that favor #ALSO ALSO ALSO #THE MUSIC?? THE SCORE?? THE REPURPOSED SONGS FROM THE GAMES??? #SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP I WOULD CHANGE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING #THERE'S ONE MOMENT I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL BUT THE MUSIC FOR IT WAS PHENOMENALLY DONE #and the animation is gorgeous!!! #the lighting and scenic design does an AMAZING job paying homage to the original games #the transitions between the mushroom kingdom and bowser's territory are something straight out of new super mario bros. #and the tiniest of references made me so happy #they delved DEEP for some of the stuff they referenced #it was like ducktales 2017 in that you could tell it was a labor of love #and yes you could absolutely tell jack black was having a ball as bowser
