The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

I'm still utterly heartbroken I was not asked to star in this movie

Chris Pratt Mario makes me a very unhappy man!

[Big Chill]

I'm still not quite sold on Chris as Mario, but props to Jack Black who is having a hell of a fun time as Bowser. It looks beautiful visually. I may watch if I hear good reviews.

this is genuinely one of the funniest reviews I've read in a long time:

bocyotting this movie due to its offensive italian stereotypes

[The Spirit of Christmas Past]

This film is a MASSIVE improvement (and a lot truer to text), than the 1993 live-action adaptation! It really shows off the origins of Mario's adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom, and how he (and to a lesser extent, his brother), didn't become the butt-kickers of Koopas and Goombas that they did overnight; they had to practice at it...a LOT!!!! Also, BONUS points to Illumination for making Peach an affirmative action girl for this movie! Without spoiling anything, I will say they included a lot of mythology gags for longtime fans of the Mario series (and Nintendo in general), and they've saved a LOT of future material for a sequel, and a Nintendo Movie Verse! And I thought all of the voice actors within this movie played their parts PERFECTLY! All in all, I'd give the movie a solid 10 out of 10! (Yes, it's THAT good!) Enough said, true believers!
