As you know, Loyal Theorists, we have already broken down our thoughts on FOUR Super Mario Bros Movie theories (and a bonus one on this week’s Short). BUT what we haven’t discussed is whether this movie is actually good or not. So is it? The audience believes it’s amazing, but the critics do NOT agree. So who’s right and who’s wrong? Let’s find out…

    My wife and I say the same things about rotten tomatoes scores. If it has a good critic score but an awful audience score then it’s probably technically well made but boring or a slog to get through. If it has a bad critic score and a good audience score it’s probably a bit less technically well made but is definitely crazy fun (fun bc it’s so bad or fun bc it’s over the top) We’d rather see an audience score movie than a critic movie bc at least we know it’ll be fun.

    To be fair, I was dead set on watching the movie well before critics started panning it. I was sold on the the trailers, and the fact that I trusted the quality, due to Shigeru Miyamoto being involved and the Studio having a good rep. So after having anticipated it for months, I took my nephews and me and them had a blast. Sure, the pacing was bad, the movie was rather short, and the plot felt thin, but the visuals, the action, the Easter eggs and the overall feel and passion got through. If they keep making more movies, while I hope they improve on some of the shortcomings, as long as the quality is on the same bar as this movie, I think I'll very much look forward tot hem as well.

However, one guy was on drugs that kept him from experiencing emotion, and the other was trained and indoctrinated to obey soldiers and feel nothing. Granted, both films were very very flashy and in a way trying to hard to seem like they had something to say. I personally love them both, because they're so different from other films.

    I don't agree with this analogy. Art _is_ entertainment. If a piece of art is only enjoyed by those who study it, but not those who want to enjoy it, then it's not a good piece of art! The problem with critics is 1. that the big critics and their platforms are prone to corporate influence and 2. that many critics are looking at it from too much of a technical, theoretical and analytical viewpoint and fail to recognize how the broad audience consumes and interacts with the art. EDIT: Plus, what Tevo77777 said, I agree here too. If I watched at least one movie per day, like professional critics do, I'd probably be bored with any movie that isn't absolutely outstanding and groundbreaking, especially since I'd have to watch a lot of movies I don't care about to begin with in order to meet that quota. Meanwhile, if you go to the cinema once in a blue moin, you won't really mind that a movie is rather mediocre from a technical standpoint, as long as the topic/franchise of the movie is intriguing to you. This may explain why some movies are hugely popular with the audience but blasted by critics: they captured the fantasy of a casual audience who can look past a technically mid execution of a good concept. Likewise, a movie that scores well from critics, but disappoints the audience might be executed well in terms of technicalities like cinematography, special effects, acting, screenwriting, but the concept of the movie simply doesn't resonate with the audience.

    ​@@LRM12o8 I disagree that art is entertainment. It is a very reductive statement. While there is nothing wrong with movies purely focused on entertaining the audience. Most good art is about pushing a certain boundary or at least challenging its consumer. Most good art demands a certain level of thought from its consumer. Instead of pointing and laughing at the funny guy falling, you are meant to interact with art and engage with its ideas. While I think all people should engage with something artistic throughout their lifetime. I also think that it is okay for the art to not be for everyone. So an artistic movie doesn't have to be a blockbuster hit. And, vice versa, entertaining movies don't have to be artistic.

    This actually isn't a new problem. I've noticed this issue even back in the 90's before internet reviews were even a thing. Reviews for movies that were widely popular among audiences were terrible and reviews for movies audiences hated were great. I even researched all the way back to the 1940's and found that trend has ALWAYS been a thing. The real answer to why this is a problem is because reviewers are essentially just people giving their personal opinions on something just like everyone else, the only difference is they're getting paid to tell other people what their opinion is. It's really an industry that never should have existed because the pool of opinions is so much smaller than the average movie goer there always was and always will be a huge difference in opinions. Plus really the only person who can tell you if your going to like a movie or not is YOU. A close friend or family member is going to do a better job reviewing a movie and deciding to recommend it or not based on other similar movies they already know you like but a random stranger recommending a movie doesn't know anything about you, why should their opinion matter to you? Even people who know me and the kinds of movies I like have reccomended some terrible ones completly misunderstanding what it is I like about the movies I watch. Oh you like the Terminator, you should watch the Matrix, it's also a man vs. Machine sci fi story. Nope just cause I like one man vs machine sci fi doesn't mean I'll like another. Oh you like Blade, lets watch Twilight. Nope those are not Vampires! Oh you like Comedies, here's an Adam Sandler movie, sorry I don't really find him that funny. When we're talking about a reviewer who is a total stranger to me the recommendations are going to be even worse cause they obviously wouldn't even have a sense for what kind of movies I do like and will give Jim Carrey films really low ratings even though I love his movies, even the "bad ones" like the Cable Guy. The issue has only gotten worse with the internet as a lot of reviews are given without ever actually having seen the movie in the first place. I have literally seen comments from people who admitted they never watched a movie or TV show but still posted a review of it making up things to hate about something they never watched. I've also noticed other people copy and paste comments from other reviews as their own totally unaware that they're spreading misinformation because the original source they copied from never actually saw the thing they reviewed. I watched it happen multiple times and information spreads so quickly online that opinions end up being taken as fact.

    To be fair, the advantage that Critics have is that they are also more objective. We as audiences CHOOSE which movies to watch... so we watch and expect things to fit what most people would expect. If you are someone who'd like something that looks like the Mario movie, you would watch it... A critic would watch it even if it isn't something they'd like... they don't have that same choice. Critics watch things regardless if it's their taste or not... But in turn, that's their value... A critic score isn't for people who would know it fits their taste... it's for people who don't think that way. Or for the Last Jedi. The audience score is the opinion of Star Wars fans, while the critic score is the opinion of a non-fan...

    Whilst it was kinda covered in the video, it's important to note that when a critic reviews a movie, they watched as part of their job, not just casually, and aren't necessarily fans of the source material if it's from a previously established franchise. Also, the audience score isn't comprised of everyone, but specifically people who: 1) Decided to watch the movie, meaning they are likely part of the movie's demographic, including fans of the potential source material. 2) Are people who watched it, and then bothered making a review of it on Rotten Tomatoes.

    I agree, but I would also add that there's not room for nuisance in these aggregate scores. Critics like Siskel and Ebert didn't just give a thumbs up or down and leave it at that. They were usually able to express their perspective in an entertaining way and have a discussion between the two of them. Attention in internet discourse often encourages people to give broad reactionary takes and doesn't necessarily encourage a lot of reflection or middle of the road takes. Everything has to be the best or worst movie in recent memory. Most critics probably didn't despise the Mario movie, but they just didn't love it and would prefer you spend your money on a film with less publicity they watched that they feel is more deserving of your attention. Universal and Nintendo aren't exactly hurting for your money at this point, regardless of the film's quality.

    The whole video, the thing that stuck out most to me was how Mario's critic score was VERY SUSPICIOUSLY just 1% below "Fresh" and I'm glad you eventually called that out. You might say it's conspiracy-ish, but I think faked conflict is a huge marketing driver for the studios, and manipulating score outcomes is so easy to do. You don't even have to lie, just engage in the right amount of selection bias and everything falls their way. Whether that way is rotten or fresh doesn't matter, so long as the discrepencey is created.

    I loved the fact that you gave a shout out to YT reviewers, as that’s actually where I’ve gotten my critic perspective from for years now! Sometimes I don’t always agree with them, but I like getting the differing perspectives! Especially as a filmmaker myself (animation college major). Finding the right critics that speak to you but also might not always agree with you is a healthy way to engage with differing perspectives and criticism. It’s healthy to see different perspectives and why others might think that way, but also acknowledge that it being different from your perspective doesn’t make your opinion any less valid. It’s what I love about art, it’s all subjective at the end of the day. Anyways, great video MatPat! I really appreciated all the points you made!

    It’s fun to study things but if you get mentally stuck in a paradigm of “how a story should be told” then you will struggle to enjoy certain films that simply do it differently. Not worse, or better, just differently. What you should be asking is, “why does this still work even though it doesn’t go about it in a traditional way?”

    My wife tells me that same thing LoL. She affectionately tells me I "ruined movies" for her because I showed her how to critique movies. But another thing we like to watch together are food shows. and just because we learned the proper technique to cut an onion does not mean when a restaurant or a friend does not use that technique that we say their food tastes "bad". First and foremost, did we have FUN while watching the movie? if we did, we don't say a movie is bad. It may not be great, or maybe not even good, but our standard is "Did we have fun?" If so... movie is "below average" at worse for us.

    Filmento is great for movie analysis but not reviews , because that's not his format and his videos come too late. At that point the movie has left theatres. Schaffrillas is good but i feel like he's too opinionated and abrasive sometimes. A lot of movie critics don't have neutrality and end up forming culture tribes (Grace Randolph, Critical Drinker, Movie cynic). I think the ones MatPat recommended are actually the best Movie critic starter pack, especially Dan Murrell who's probably the best movie reviewer on the internet.

I've been co-hosting a movie review podcast for over a decade and your description of what critics like and dislike fits me and my co-host perfectly. And it's exactly because we have to find things to say about a different movie every week. When you consume a particular kind of media that frequently and attentively, you naturally seek novelty. Both so you can find something interesting to say about it and to avoid boredom.

    I think you are sorta right, but there are plenty of good movies that are enjoyable that audiences don’t like. There are multiple aspects to enjoyability, critics enjoy quality films and aren’t going to be persuaded by just a movie made to be fun. The recent Puss in Boots is an example of both where it is a fun all ages experience like Mario, but also has actual effort in the quality aspect. It’s a good example of why we shouldn’t be upset movies like Mario don’t get good critic scores, because there are movies that put in the effort and achieve both, and they should be rewarded for that

Critics like movies that actually put effort into more than just being a crowd pleaser. I think people understand this a lot with music.

    I generally agree with that. And that is the problem, people vote things based on what their emotional reaction to it is. I enjoyed Turning Red as a man myself from the viewpoint of having to find a way as a child to please your parent but find your own identity at the same time. And hearing my wife say what she related to or didn't in the movie was also fun. But only some movies, like Avatar Way of Water, are written to have a wide appeal. Even if you look at Top Gun Maverick, it did not do as well as other movies internationally because it is unapologetically American patriotism. So movies have different audiences. I don't think I should say a My Little Pony movie is "trash" just because I am not the target audience.

She wasn't even a tiny focus, but she clearly had enough love for food to still hope Gusteau's to hope it was good again and humble enough to say, "Yes! It is good despite what I thought!" In short, it hit both sides of professional criticism quite well, even it the focus was only on one side of it.

    I really wouldn't say they lost the love. It's just that what they love is a movie that surprises, impresses or provokes them in interesting ways. Mindless action loses its shine after the 900th time, and it's definitely hard looking past that. Personally I got that with anime, with the tropes that I see in every other anime getting on my nerves so much by this point I go into watching one of them and almost mentally check out whenever they appear. Repetition and monotony is the death of passion, and for critics that have to watch so, so many movies when compared to the average audience member, it makes sense why they want something more than pretty explosions and a wafer thin plot.
