The simple fact that the Goombas actually look like Goombas and not seven foot tall dinosaur people is an accomplishment in of itself.

The biggest sin of this movie is that despite this movie being called “The Super Mario BROS. Movie”, it’s mostly about Mario.

5:06 I like how "Ghost" was capitalized as if that was the actual name of their species. It's Boo. They're Boos. (I do agree, though, that it was a waste to not have any Boos in the creepy castle, especially since fighting them is Luigi's specialty)

11:48 to be fair, when a blue shell is thrown it will only go after the person who is OR WAS in first place, despite if their place changes or not. This means that peach had just passed DK after the shell was thrown. A lot of people tend to misunderstand this phenomenon because they either haven’t played Mario Kart enough to witness this happen or they haven’t played Mario Kart at all. Insert “🤓” here.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is Illumination’s highest grossing film at $1.362B beating out the MASCOT FILMS Minions at $1.159B and Despicable Me 3 at $1.035B

It’s a movie based on the most recognizable video game character of all time. Is it really that hard to believe that it made 1 billion dollars?

In defense of the film, the "if she says no, do something else until she says yes" is the strategy the villain uses. Kids are (hopefully) smart enough to make that distinction.

CinemaSins should CinemaSins themselves on how many damn times they misnamed the enemies. Calling boos “ghosts,” piranha plants “muncher,” donut blocks “fall-y blocks,” etc.

The biggest sin is that Nintendo remembers Kid Icarus and the fact that it hasn’t got a game since the 3rd era.

We loved this movie and it was one of the few that my nephew actually sat thru, (he's 8). I feel its a great start to more movies if the want. I was simple, bright, and fun. It didn't try and put our world into their, just let them make their own. And I think they saved the Boo and Luigi crossing paths incase they make a Luigi's Mansion lol

I haven't seen this movie, but holy SHIT did that "Finally... mercy" killed me. Like, I haven't laughed at a kid's movie in almost 15 years but THAT killed me.

Movie wants to remind you of all the fun you had playing Super Mario Bros, but then reminds you that someone else is in the driver's seat... and they do a damn good job at making it enjoyable.

This movie definitely isn't the best one out there, but oh boy, the nostalgia and all of the small little details were amazing :)

Even if it wasn’t legendary, it was still a massive step up from illumination’s usual output at that point

Fun fact, Cranky Kong is his actual name, and is indeed related to DK

I don't care how many sins this movie gets. It was more than i hoped for and i love it!

13:25 The last time someone tried to make a Mario movie, it was everything but "average". So, an "average" Mario movie is a huge upgrade.

I get it now. I understand what was going on the minds of the critics when watching this movie. However, I personally still think this movie was amazing because it gave me exactly what I wanted out of a movie about Mario. References galore.

2:38 apparently this happened to Miyamoto in real life and it's what inspired him to make the Chain Chomp.

12:44 Knowing Bowser, he probably already had this all set up. He's like the Gaston of this universe and Kamek is his LeFou.

Sonic the Movie (2020) was an excellent example of a video game movie that, despite production hiccups, managed to turn out to be a successful film that respects its source material. It's refreshing to see that Super Mario Bros. Movie continues this tradition, and I hope that we'll get to see more awesome video game movies in the future.❤️💚💙

To me one of the best Video Game Movies ever made. Its crisp design, the many many (and accurate) references playfully woven in, the soundtrack and different musical themes. As a 32 year old lifelong Nintendo fan this movie was a fun delight.

15:38 I think this was accidentally made canon with the release of Super Mario Wonder, where you actually *can* share the star with your allies just by touching them after you get it, similar to how Kirby's star-equivalent power-up works in his games lol

9:36 In the King Penguin's defense, he only told his soldiers to attack, they are the ones that used ice against fire therefore making everyone else stupid.

Jack Black had way too much fun with this movie. The best bit IMO

Best line in the entire movie: “You just got-a-luigied”

It's not a perfect movie but it gets my childhood nostalgia kicking. Jeremy is a national treasure.

9:00 to be fair, that has happened multiple times throughout history, one of them being the Roman king Servius Tullius, and another(I forgot his name though) came from foreign lands and was elected king simply because everyone liked him

This movie grows on me the more I watch it. It could've been better, but I still love it

Should've mentioned the fact that Kamek just disappears from the movie with literally zero explanation after Peach kicks the Star to Mario. This guy can teleport; he absolutely could've gotten to the Star before Mario did.

I was hesitant to watch this one because I actually like this movie 😂

As a person that work at a pizza place, people leaving half or even nearly whole pizza behind is very common. The boxes are free people! And we have to throw it out if you leave it.

Say what you want, but this film is an absolute love letter to fans of the games, unlike the live action version of super mario bros, on the other hand...

Having ambition is all it takes to make a videogame adaptation work That's why most of the recent adaptations, like "Sonic The Hedgehog", "The Last of Us " and "Arcane" worked Because the people behind it understood the games, and understood filmmaking In the past, the studios hired anyone to do anything, without a care in the world, like the 1993s live-action

16:22 reminiscing about all the yoshis I sacrificed lol

10:13 Also the fact that they’re implying that Donkey Kong we see in games like Mario Party, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, etc is the same as his Father, the son of Cranky Kong who appeared in Donkey Kong Jr. The same child who died before HIS son Donkey Kong became an adult.

15:35 In every multiplayer Mario game that has the star in it allows every player to use it if there are touched by the person who collected it. Basically, this movie is following the rules and its abundantly clear that it wasnt made for you.

Mario: That was amazing. Jeremy: That was not. Me: Waiting for what 'my college girlfriend said to me' makes it into this plot.... Also me: -sighs-

"But why is no one confused about a giant gorilla speaking English?" 😂😂😂

You missed the part where Mario takes damage with the Mini Mushroom and reverts to being normal Mario, when in the games, the Mini Mushroom does not provide an extra hit buffer and instead taking damage as Mini Mario kills you normally - you don't 'grow' to small Mario.

Well actually we do see the mystic world through the pipes in super Mario 3D world as they are going through the clear pipe. (the scene I am mentioning is at 4:21 )

“This being Punch-Out Pizzeria tells you everything about this movie in a single freeze-frame. It's all references and no heart.“ I want this sin to appear during Wish next.

15:34 That is literally how the star works, if you touch someone with the star, you get the star power too. Clearly this guy has not played Super Mario 3D World.

I like how you bashed on a lot of things except the animation. You cant deny the animation was crisp and clean lol

I'm ready for Super Mario II where you through turnips at Birdo.

Say what you want, but this movie was a pure joy to watch in every sense of ways

Let's not forget the part when Mario was fighting Donkey Kong, Mario takes the mini mushroom, gets hit, AND reverts to normal size. We already know what happens in the video games. 🤣

tried to watch this movie twice on international flights this summer but this is the 1st time actually seeing the ending. I fell asleep both times.

I really enjoyed this movie, but I grew up with Mario and DK so I got all the references. I thought it was a pretty well done and a fun movie. I went in with pretty low expectations, so maybe that helped lol.

2:52 I LITERALLY SAID THIS IS NOT HOW PIPES WORKS AND HE SAID IT TO LMAOOO😂

10:30 Sonic: Uhhh, meow?

3:42 why didn't they use the walk way to get to the pressure valve? I mean... It's right there!!

1:10 the 64 is a reference to the Nintendo 64 Cosnole

Legends say, after this movie, Mario became a carpenter now

14:40 movie does not give a single word on the general response to about half the entire city instantly being destroyed by bowser’s lava island

The last reference to The Iron Giant was a blast of nostalgia 😂 “There’s no way to survive this you idiot!!”

The Ice Flower power-up first appeared in a 1992 issue of a Super Mario Manga comic, so it predates Frozen by quite a long time. Also in the Mario & Luigi RPG games, there is precedent for getting star power ups simultaneously.

3:09 - To Illumination, this is comedy gold.

8:48 It's scientifically accurate though. A child's oldest memory is often when they turn two. 9:35 Shut up, they got ONE down. 10:49 It's called Determination. ❤️ 11:48 Dread it, run from it, the shell arrives all the same... 16:04 There it is.

1:44 I'm just grateful that I didn't know who Charlie Day, Anya-Taylor Joy or Keagan Michael Key were before this movie.

12:00 curse peach and her high ping

13:21 Technically speaking Elsa was the infringer. Mario + Luigi: Partners in Time came out in 2005, which upon being used in combat temporarily granted the Bros. the ability to pelt targets with ice balls. The first games that actually altered his appearance were Super Mario Galaxy (which temporarily turned him into a light blue reskin of Metal Mario that could spawn platforms of ice at his feet when running over a body of liquid) and Super Mario Bros. Wii, which turned his cap and shirt light blue and his overalls red and, like Partners in Time, gave him cryokinesis. The only real difference is that Frozen came out like 7 years later, was born with her cryokinetic powers and on top of that would grow uncontrollable when her emotions became negative. And while yes, we have yet to see Peach use an ice flower in the games, other characters in the franchise did beat Elsa to the ice-cold punch. Also are we going to mention the fact that the super star that lasts *10 SECONDS* in the games somehow lasts for a good *MINUTE*?

My wife and i hadn't been to the theaters since before covid, but this movie gave us a reason to go again, twice! For the 2 oldest kids then the 2 youngest. Liked it more the second time

Whatever we could say about the details of this movie, it's on par with all those Mario cartoon shows from the 90s. Heck they even sing the Super Show song in the beginning,

And now it’s time for me to sin CinemaSins by asking: 15:21 How is Luigi blocking Bowser’s fire with a manhole cover when at the start of the movie, Bowser melted an entire ice kingdom in a matter of 15 seconds?

8:22 EXACTLY WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING!!!! People also said this added to bowser’s character, It detracts from it.

2:05 did- did you miss the part where the car broke wouldn’t work?

You know between this and the Sonic 2 movie Sin video I'm now certain that videogames never brought you joy.

Cliche and generic, but still a lot of fun. I almost never go to the cinema but I went for this :D

This movie was exactly what people who went to it wanted to see. For those confused, no one was looking for cinema. They were looking for nostalgia and references. Job well done.

I like how Jeremy has to believe that a movie adaptation of a game has to be the exact same of the game

16:36 cave of wonders from Aladdin. Genius.

5:11 I never noticed the Piranha Plant licking his lips

Thank you for sinning the peaches song. I don't know why everyone thinks it's that great, it's just Jack Black being himself

I didnt really like this movie, but they clearly knew exactly who their markets were and nailed them: It swaps games at the perfect pace to keep easily distracted kids entertained and focussed throughout the entire movie. It drip-feeds references at just the right pace to keep adult Mario fans paying attention and going "he said the thing" throughout the movie.

9:07 More like this is a code for: "If this movie does well we'll make Zelda, Kirby, Metroid and then have a huge crossover with all of them".

13:42 Even out of context in a video critiquing the movie, this part still gives me the feels (Do people still say that?). I may be too emotionally attached to these characters.

9:18 BUT I CAN'T QUITE PUT MY HINDENBURG ON IT OMFG LMAO 😂😂😂

9:11 "Neil DeGrasse Princess" I'M DEAD!!! 🤣🤣🤣

you missed a sin in the mario vs donkey Kong scene when D.K absolutely beats the shit out of mario the most he gets is a swollen cheek but in the bowser vs mario scene ( before the star part) mario gets hit only like 3 times and comes out of that part with a fully bruised face so getting injured only when it's important to the story cliche

Super Mario Bros movie is pure unadulterated awesomeness.

No matter what the sin counter says, this is still one of the best movie adaptations of a video game EVER! Especially if you’re a Super Mario Brothers fan.

Imo, the most rewarding thing about this movie for those who grew up playing the games, is the "shortcut" that Cranky Kong suggests... just for it to turn out to be the Rainbow Road lol.. pure gold

Since the day I watched it I was like "the only way this is going to get good reviews is because it says 'mario' in the title" and that statement is still true. This movie isn't bland but it is exactly what it is. A movie. It plays literally everything safe. From the characters to the writing. Everything is so safe because it has to be. When they make a sequel it will be the exact same. Another billion dollars for the most generic movie of all time. I had fun watching this movie but I think a lot of this video sums up my feelings towards it.

0:11 Comcast 0:16 Banana 10:30 Sigh

You're 100% right about that Peaches song and you should say it.

This movie was actually very good, which is strange for a modern movie.

15:34 Actually, in NSMB Wii you can "share" a power star by picking it up and then holding another person. So you could say this scene works kinda like that

@10:52 Well, there is such a thing as being stubborn and not being able to get back up, so the getting back up part is, in fact, based on strength. DING!

7:26 This critique is so off-base that he actually gave the villain two back-to-back sins for acting like a villain. *ding ding ding ding ding*

I personally really like this movie, definitely a step up from that excuse of a mario movie from the 90s

3:25 I think they’re around 26 years old.

And even with all those flaws, it’s by far the best video game to movie adaptation ever. We can actually have a decently watchable movie out of the second most popular franchise of all time. If only we could get a decent game out of the most popular.

0:13 Cinema Sins regards minion jokes in such a upper echelon of comedy that the mere exclusion of a banana joke warrants a sin this is the level of classiness we are working with

*Movie critics approve of this video*

THE BEST VIDEO GAME MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

"They made an ALIEN their PRESIDENT and everyone was HAPPY WITH IT?!" I love the Toads ☺ My favourite Toad moment is "He is NOT important!" - Everyone: "YAAAAY"

I'm surprised he didn't make a sin about the fact that there's no king or Queen.

14:21 looks like the fortnite end event

This movie made me love the 1993 live action one.
