The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Well I had no idea this was in the works.
I admit I kind of wish it was a live-action re-do of the 90s version.. lol.
But at least I'm pretty sure my kids will love this.

Jack Black seems pretty fun as Bowser as expected, but Chris Pratt as Mario is as miscast as they come. If Pratt is the weakest link though and the other cast are pretty on point with their characters, this still has the potential to be decent.
Just mostly off put by how films like this nowadays rely more on star power than a voice actor that has the range to play certain characters. Jack Black has plenty VA experience, with this being a real attempt at Bowser, while Mario is just Chris Pratt playing Chris Pratt.
Watch it in French if you want to listen to a real Mario voice.

I mean, you just can't improve on perfection. 🐸
Of course he'll say he's okay with it. Wouldn't wanna compromise his position as Mario in the games. Chris Pratt is Hollywood & Nintendo's decision together, they have this idea movie audiences never care who plays who, it's [insert famous actor] y'all which is dumb here because Mario is about as timeless as Mickey Mouse. Everyone by now knows how he sounds.
If nothing else, they could pay Chris' contract in full and replace his voice with the French Mario actor's.

Well yeah...of course its Hollywood. They don't who care who's been voicing said character for so many years
they're only going for the razzle dazzle actor's who would be good for the character's.

Far as the Sonic movies, the nods they have to the games are fun and are good for video game films, but the need to shoehorn in the random human family and stuff still holds them back as an accurate adaptation... Which honestly is one thing this Mario has going for him, so far.
If this film is by chance better than even Sonic 1, Sonic fans won't accept or admit it of course. This film will make lots of money regardless though; Illumination films usually have, despite being shit before, but I hope this one actually has consistent quality to it. The trailer seemed promising for the most part, so one can hope.

Good point. There's a reason the games just have grunt or throw out the occasional catch phrase.
I’m 42 and this trailer made me feel 5 years old again for the briefest of moments.
This looks absolutely incredible.
