From the studio that brought you humanity’s most annoying creation, The Minions. What did these people even expect?
It’s a kid/family movie first (and nothing wrong with that).

To be fair....illumination has always been a mediocre studio in terms of writing and direction and humor. I was hoping maybe the nintendo collab would help, but looks like their mediocrity came through regardless.
I wished pixar or the team who did zootopia would get mario. But nope...illumination. for most parents, people, especially kids, these studios blend together. But for nerd like me we know illumination is the worst of the bunch specifically

I'll be honest, I was about to say "well there was a time when you could have family movies that were actually written well and worked for both adults and kids (see: Pixar from 95-07 and Shrek 1 + 2)", but we did literally just get Puss in Boots 2.
Being a kids movie doesn't excuse it being ass.

Did anyone ever enjoy Mario for the plot? Just enjoy the ride and fun. Hopefully it's still fun, right?

The terrible ‚humor‘ in all the trailers I‘ve seen told me everything I needed to know about this movie.
„Incel Bowser“? What the actual fuck?

Wow so from the game that virtually has no plot beyond save princess and characters who barely talk we get a movie with an uninspiring...plot? Alright then.
I'm watching it soon, its full of fan service and easter eggs so it should be fun for mario fans and gamers.

This isn't a game. It's a movie. Obviously, plot is a lot more important to a movie than a platform video game.

I have no idea who most of these people are, but i presume a lot of them are the same people who bitched that Godzilla KotM had no real plot outside of the monsters
Like no shit, it was a love letter to the fans and what the fans wanted (giant monsters fighting), and everything ive seen so far suggests that this is too

When adults complain a movie for kids is for kids. I’m sure my kids will have a blast.

I took 5 Valium.
The Lion King was also a kids/family movie. Let's not excuse mediocrity. As if being a family movie means you should expect trash. What the fuck?
Some of us grew up with Mario and would have preferred if the movie didn't suck.

a the bashing begins 
Not sure what your point is. IIlumination makes bad movies, thus they should be given a pass? or something?

Well, duh? Anyone who's seen the trailer can realize that.

I mean they seemingly made Luigi the damsel in distress instead of Peach so not a shock

That's not my point.
Illumination makes average movies that kids love, so it's expected that Mario would also be an average movie that kids will love. That's all.
? Ok... they should be given a pass then.

Must not be that woke if critics hate it.

He won.
No, he didn't. The Mario Bros movie is actually loved by general audiences that actually saw the movie, from what I gathered around the internet. Hardly any bad impression of it. It's just the movie critics that don't like the movie.
And in terms of worldwide box office, it looks like it will surpass either Sonic film as the highest grossing Video game movie of all time. It's expected to rake in $225 million globally when it opens.

This caught my eye too.
I'd guess it was written by a blue-haired freak?

He won.
And because of his fans, humanity lost.

Or even better - let Waluigi be the main character (it would have made them furious).

I really enjoyed Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga's plot
Zootopia was so bloody good. Even for an older cnt like me. Sonic was pretty good too actually.
