It will be better than both. It won’t be at the very very low level of the Corny ass Sonic 2 movie.

The RPGs usually give everyone a good amount of character, except maybe Mario himself getting a very small amount of character in the M&L series when compared to everyone else. In the RPGs, Bowsers is usually played as a comedic villain, if he isn't second fiddle to the main villains and played for a joke. It will be nice to see a non-comedic (outside of snark) Bowser with much larger speaking role, especially with this level of animation. Also, Bowser did have one speaking role in a mainline Mario game in Sunshine. You just have to reach the final boss.

Funny enough, Nintendo wanted Mario to sound like that before Charles Martinet went a different approach for him in the games back then. If Charles did voice Mario in the film, I think it would grow old and annoying really quick and to be honest I like Chris Pratt voicing Mario. It gives me super Mario super show vibes in a good way

This video describes exactly what I’ve been thinking. It won’t be a mind-blowing movie, but it’ll still be good. They’re going to play it safe, because Nintendo really doesn’t want another bad Mario movie that everyone will make fun of for decades. Hopefully Nintendo Studios will eventually take some risks with some of their other properties. But the Mario franchise has to be as safe as possible, because he’s literally the most iconic video game character ever.

@@seaniccus You maybe don't have to be that in-depth in whatever series you may start next. I know how much you were killing yourself near the end of it.

What you call "playing it safe" many of us call "being faithful and respectful to the source material" and it is EXACTLY what we need SO much more of right now in a time where every director under the sun thinks every adaptation is their chance to "reimagine" the property as they see fit - and the results are almost always terrible whenever you hear the words "reimagined for a modern audience" or something similar. Almost ALWAYS. They're terrible because they completely throw out what made the original thing work in the first place- which is often a nuanced combination of very specific themes and aesthetics and even just a general FEELING it has to it - and that's completely lost on all too many directors taking a job for the payday and not for the love of the thing they are adapting. You want "not playing it safe" and "taking risks", there's always the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie with Bob Hoskins. THAT took plenty of risks and a lot of people really, really didn't like it. When you have a world and the built-in aesthetics and these characters that have been defined for the last 40 years, it's really a bad idea to do the "I'm trying something new and cool that I think fans will really like" routine. Fans DON'T want that. They don't WANT "updates for the 2022 sensibilities". Fans want EXACTLY what Mario is only in movie form. Now, that's not to say that BEING faithful limits you. It REALLY doesn't. You can have the exact perfect design, world building, voices, ALL of it just like the games and EXPAND on that world WITHIN THE LOGIC AND RULES ESTABLISHED FOR THAT WORLD. For instance, you know you have koopas and these penguins and the magic stars and right away you see that you can script something in where Bowser wants the stars to himself because they grant him some power he's after and the penguin city holds the last one. That's EXACTLY what you get in this trailer. That wasn't in the games - but the individual elements in it WERE - they just TOOK those elements and did some world building with them. THAT'S THE KEY. You take what IS established and within those parameters you can get as creative as you want - say Bowser COLLECTED the stars and used them to banish Mario from the Mushroom kingdom by some magic spell cooked up by magikoopa - Mario is sent elsewhere, loses his memory, and is no longer a thorn in Bowser's side. Luigi then FINDS Mario and convinces him to jump into a pipe which brings him back, but the two get separated because it turns out pipes can sometimes warp you to some other part of the world. Then you end up with Mario going, as in the trailer, "what is this place", using some weird voice because the spell tricked him into thinking he was some other guy - and there you have it. The drybones escape scene could be where Luigi comes back into Mushroom Kingdom - he pops up in the wrong place at the wrong time and ends up getting chased by them, hence THAT scene. See, that's how you do it. You can GET risky - within the logic and aesthetic of the world. Mario has gone to space and beyond in the games so there is a WEALTH of possibilities to draw from and plenty to build, and none of it has to be done in a way that is unfaithful or disrespectful to the source material. So I'm VERY thankful for Nintendo watching over their baby during production. It clearly helped. This looks FAR more enjoyable than Sonic - even after the re-tooling of the Sonic design. THOSE were the "just ok, but ultimately forgettable" types of movie.

"Safe" in brand protection, more than anything I mean. I made that video on the fly so I didn't get into it too much, but Nintendo has been very careful about how it guards its IP in the last two decades, so they're being "safe" by not straying too far. This creates some creative limitations, but it doesn't mean its bad, as it creates different creative opportunities. However, it also means that it'll be judged MORE harshly in some ways. Sonic wasn't ever trying to be "faithful" to the source material, as you put it, so when it wasn't nobody was surprised. Mario has drawn the line that it will be, so when it gets things "wrong" it might get a harsher reaction. It's just super interesting how this different approach creates a different set of risks.

The other voice actors at least put some effort into their voice acting (especially bowser, his voice actor sounds amazing). Chris, on the other hand, just gave his voice acting a hint of an Italian accent. Other than that minor detail, his iteration of Mario is just his normal speaking voice.

I know the comparison is mostly clickbait (no offense), but personally, I think that while the Mario movie will likely surpass Sonic in terms of source material acurracy, it won't get you as emotionally invested in the characters. The Sonic movies have plenty of heart and try to get you invested in its characters, while most emotional moments in Illumination movies tend to fall flat. Maybe it won't be the case, but so far it seems the Mario movie is more interested in worldbuilding than character building.

nothing wrong with playing it "safe" when there's such an absolutely huge amount to draw on. as you stated there's decades of history to try to keep accurate. as a first try movie I hope it will be solid enough for them to explore a bit in later movies.

Yeah there really is a lot for them to do, even "restricting" themselves to an existing version of the game lore. It isn't to say that this kind of "safe" isn't better either -- but it presents a different challenge. Everybody knew Sonic wasn't going to be 'game accurate' at the outset so it was easy to forgive it not being 'right.' Mario is clearly trying to represent the game lore more directly, so it will face harsher judgement for what it gets "wrong" But i bet they'll get it right enough to make most people happy

The main thing I'm blown away by is the animation it actually looks good! Which is surprising because compared to the other movies that illumination has made which let's face it. Look completely generic and low quality, seeing this high Budget film that actually has the game elements in there is amazing!

I'm quite optimistic the movie will be good so I can't wait to watch it. Also I think Chris Pratt sounds pretty ok as Mario

I thought his accent sounded more like a Brooklyn accent than Italian. Which would be a return to how everyone played Mario before Charles Martinet (just less gravelly). And it's not too unreasonable to let the iconic Mario voice remain something that Charles Martinet does. I'm not sure why, but I feel like Pratt COULD do a pretty decent impression of Martinet if he tried to. But I get that it's probably hard to carry a movie while affecting such a squeaky voice, especially considering Pratt is not a voice actor.

I'm saying this now. That movie is not Beating the sonic movie in any way. Neither of them. Not saying it's going to be bad btw. The story to be honest is already pretty straight forward and predictable. Bowser's gonna Capture peach and Mario will end up having to rescue her. And also there doesn't seem to be anything new in the Movie besides the slight Different character design for Mario, and some other characters. There's nothing really differentiating it from the Video games other than it being called "The super Mario bros movie." It's basically just the game with no gameplay and Just CGI cutscenes with Characters who rarely even speak in voice lines, besides grunt noises. With Such an Incredibly different path than the games, Illumination will have to try their Damnedest not to make the movie seem Generic, mediocre, and a Bland mess with Mario Characters involved. The movie might be good, it might not be. But considering that this is the Mario franchise, it's gonna be a challenge for the writers to give the characters a personality, and a significant place in the story; that doesn't heavily stray from the Template set for these characters just to make them seem Funny and more relatable to the audience; like having Mario floss or some stupid Fortnite dance (I know sonic flossed in his movie but It didn't really seem all that off-putting considering that he's still a kid and it aligned pretty well with his character.) But even though the mario movie looks good, it's just not for my Taste, It's 'supposed' to appeal to all ages but this is Mario come on. I hope there will be some kind of epic final battle, like in both the sonic movies or Some epic stuff like Bowser scorching that entire ice kingdom with his fire breath, that was kinda cool. Then maybe I'd watch it.

Hi!

CHI VINCERÀ? Bho hahaha

Animation: 10/10 Voice Acting: Kevin Richardson nails it as Kamek. Jack Black does an great impression at capturing Bowser's gravitas and Keegan-Michael Key manages to get Toad's 'raspy squeal' without making it ear grating (a magnificent feat in and of itself). Chris Pratt as Mario though... I think we can all say that's an absolute miss. It just sounds like Chris Pratt. I've seen three solid suggestions for better actors to voice Mario; Robert De Niro, (famous actor, strong voice, actually of Italian descent so he could do a better accent), Danny DeVito (another famous actor, an iconic voice if not the best fit for Mario but still better than Chris, and also of Italian descent so he could make it work), finally, Charles Martinet (you know... the ACTUAL voice actor for Mario?)

That is 100% Chris Pratt don’t kid yourself. Also this is and always has been nothing more then an Isekai.
