![]() ![]() ![]() Anna Taylor Joy and Seth Rogan were good as Princess Peach and Donkey Kong, although I think Rogan may have injected a bit too much of himself in the character. Jack Black's portrayal of Bowser steals the show and was the best of the film. It would have been extremely annoying to hear the super Italian Mario accent for a full hour and thirty minutes. Chris Pratt's voice as Mario is not over the top, which works well. I was initially nervous about how the voice acting would hold up, but I was pleasantly surprised. This makes the film feel like a Mario game come to life so that audiences can say “that is like Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros.” The movie pacing flies at a breakneck speed, and I felt that this movie could have benefited from a slightly longer runtime to flesh out the story and characters a bit more. The writers do not attempt to do anything beyond create a narrative that intentionally puts our characters in worlds and areas that are instantly recognizable to the audience. The screenplay is admittedly very bare bones, and the characters lack depth, but the film still manages to capture the essence of the beloved video game franchise. Movie is a fun ride through the iconic world of Mario. ![]()
