I really wanna see it but at this point I think I’m just gonna wait for a digital release. Got a few theater visits coming up, so I can sacrifice Mario in that regard. I think it’ll be fine without my $15 haha

Why isn't anybody talking about the Mario movie. It was amazing. All of the references and Easter eggs were terrific.I had the same thought. Was wondering if anyone here saw it. I saw it with some relatives. Had a great time.

Chris Pratt as Mario? I’m good. Will watch on Peacock one day probably.

The entire voice cast is there to sell as many tickets as possible. And it worked.

I'm not listening to Charles Martinet for an hour and half straight. Great in games, would be horrible for a movie. Glad he got his cameo though.
Also, all of the voices in the movie you can immediately place but Pratts. I wonder if they did some sort of modulation to his voice due to the feedback.

He was perfectly fine. 90 minutes of "let's a go" and "Wahoo" would'he been unbearable. Of all the main cast, the only one I didn't like was Seth Rogan as DK and, if you count it, Fred Armisan's character.

Like Wreck-It Ralph, there are two ways to watch the Mario movie. You can watch it like any other kids movie and appreciate the animation and in-jokes, or you can treat it like an Easter egg hunt and spend the 90 minutes looking for references and callouts.
If you do the latter, you're going to have an absolute blast. They range from unmissable (what Mario does after dinner) to brilliantly subtle (the book by Mario's bed).
If you do the former, the movie is a hard meh. The animation was gorgeous, the character designs were faithful (even Prattio, I guess), but the screenplay just doesn't do justice to so many characters. Bowser was S-Tier. Toad and Luigi were B- or a generous A-Tier. Every other main character just didn't have enough good dialogue to work with.
The line I kept repeating to myself walking out of the theater was "That was a lot of fun when nobody was talking."

Because they left out the most important character.

I have a projector screen and nice home theater system I've upgrade to over the last 20 year. I generally wait for blu rays. I might get the 4K release when it comes out.

I have a good wall for a projector screen setup. What projector/screen do you use?

I had an absolute blast with the Easter Eggs and references. I didn't expect much from the plot, and honestly, I couldn't care less about the plot. I loved how they really worked so much from the games and from the world of Nintendo into a 90 minute movie. References to old games like Wrecking Crew, Kid Icarus, and Punchout. References to characters/enemies from every single Mario game. There were references to to every game from Donkey Kong through Mario Odyssey. I loved how they made the 2D levels that we play as "Training Courses" in the Mushroom Kingdom. I loved the ending when Mario had to get up to Bowser's Castle and how they flew through powerups.
Jack Black was great. Every other voice actor was fine except for the two I mentioned (DK and CK). It was a fun movie. Anyone going in expecting anything more substantial than that is going to be very disappointed. People complaining about "not enough Yoshi" or they didn't show X character enough or at all need to relax. There is only so much they can fit in a 90 minute movie, and they will DEFINITELY have sequels.

Mario movie related. Don't click on this if you haven't seen it:
Bowser playing piano and singing about Princess Peach was awesome. "Peaches, Peaches" 😆

benq 3550 and elite pro accoustic motorized screen. It's nice, it's 50/50 fabric/pvc. I had a 100% pvc screen and I felt like the new screen absorbed the light even better. It felt like going from a projector throwing an image on a screen, to looking like the screen lit up like a TV. The reason I had to go to sound transparent is so I could have my speakers behind the screen. Because I went from 100" to 125". And at that point I have NO more room under or to the side of the screen. It takes up my whole wall in the L shaped room.

I don't view it as a spoiler. I view deaths, major plot arcs, or twists as spoilers. But I've been reported for the tiniest of stupid things as spoilers around the net. someone probably would have reported you talking about a song as a spoiler elsewhere.

Now's definitely not the right time for me to go for this. With the upcoming Zelda game and me being in middle of other games. It's obviously tempting, but going to have to say no this time. Now if they were to offer a b1g2 on brand new 1st party games, now that's a different story :)
Don't know if I'd be able to resist b1g2.
