Critics Consensus

Packed with colorful world-building that's as frenetic as it is weightless, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's visuals are often out of this world but the threadbare story ultimately loses its Milky Way.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie settles for moments of visual inspiration that replicate the little rushes of opening up new worlds in one of the games, while letting almost every character stagnate into bland affability

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is undoubtedly a visual assault—and whether that’s appealing or revolting is up to the individual—but there’s no denying the creativity and energy on display.

Given the first film's success and the fanbase it helped build for this sequel, you can't help but wonder why the instinct is still to go wider instead of deeper, louder instead of more heartfelt.

1.5/5

While boasting strong animation, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ultimately feels closer to a "made for TikTok" film than something that's actually tangible. With a narrative that goes at a breakneck pace, this is truly one for kids with no attention span.

1.5/4

The only emotional tension in the movie is whether Bowser is going to allow his friendly feelings toward Peach and her friend to prevail, or if he’ll side with his evil-inclined offspring...

The result is a film that feels more like an extension of the video game than a cinematic work. There's no clear intention to tell a story beyond the immediate experience. [Full review in Spanish]

Music drowns out dialog. Too much going on at once for children to understand. Plot twist with bad guy turning into a friend then a bad guy again is too hard for kids to understand

The movie looked really good, but the volume was up so high that it was hard to enjoy anything that was going on because it was hurting my youngest sons ears.

Cute storyline. Perfect duration for a kids movie. Took my 3 year old for his first movie theater experience and he was able to make it through the whole movie without losing interest.

The movie was blurry, had to go tell someone its supposed to be in 3D ..then they fixed problem. Just a little inconvenient.

Too much focus on lets do everything Mario with some Star Fox thrown in here and there and not enough focus on an actual story. Pacing was horrible, it would do great for kids who cant sit still, but my kid was bored since it was a new scene and new story every 10 seconds.
