"I realized something was genuinely wrong with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie about 30 minutes in: I hadn't laughed even once. My audience of around 15 people, including a few families, was dead silent as well."
"The movie leaps from scene to scene joylessly, with no sense of storytelling or characterization, glued together by the 'oh I remember that guy'-ness of empty corporate nostalgia."
"The only truly inventive sequence in this movie involves Star Fox's Fox McCloud, voiced with just the right dose of attitude by current Hollywood 'it guy' Glen Powell."
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie disappoints with its lack of humor and engaging storytelling. Despite a plot involving Koopa Jr. and Peach, the film jumps between scenes without depth. Characters like Yoshi are introduced without development, and the film relies on nostalgia rather than creativity. While there are brief moments of inventiveness, such as Fox McCloud's anime sequence, they are overshadowed by the overall lack of excitement and engagement, making it less enjoyable than previous adaptations.
