What to Know

Critics Consensus

While it's nowhere near as thrilling as turtle tipping your way to 128 lives, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a colorful -- albeit thinly plotted -- animated adventure that has about as many Nintendos as Nintendon'ts.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Without overplaying its hand, it hits all the major notes within the wild, inventive universe of block-breaking and Goomba-stomping. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Peter Travers ABC News This lively computer-animated take on the video game just opened and it’s already the biggest box-office smash of 2023. Despite lapses into dull and disposable, it’s also a godsend for parents seeking family entertainment for the 5-year-old in all of us. Apr 21, 2023 Full Review John Wilmes Chicago Reader Among the many errors of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, screenwriter Matthew Fogel plops him and his brother Luigi into a milquetoast Brooklyn family that doubts them and disrespects their small-business dreams. Apr 15, 2023 Full Review James Preston Poole Discussing Film The iconic plumber’s big screen re-do is a proud celebration of the character’s appeal. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper Cinerama Film All movies exist to sell, but this exists to sell everything but the movie. It’s not a love letter – it’s soulless capitalism. The Super Mario Bros Movie is an imagination-free wasteland where cinematic storytelling goes to die. Rated: 1/5 Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite A specific sequence set across the streets of Brooklyn is a gorgeous nod to the 2D platformer aesthetic. It might be my favorite adaptation of the gamified visual look to the big screen since “Tron: Legacy.” Rated: 3/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
