Super Mario Bros. (2023)

"It’s a-him, Mario, but it’s no a-masterpiece."

"(Super Mario Bros.) gives you a wholesome prankish druggy chameleonic video-game buzz; it’s also a nice, sweet confection for 6-year-olds."

"The second film adaptation... is a disappointment to rival the first."

"Visually astounding yet shallow..."

"Exactly what it looks like, and nothing more."

"An endearing cash-grab."

"(Super Mario Bros.) brings Nintendo's iconic characters to the movies in a satisfying way."

"A series of Easter eggs in search of a story."

"A fun, fast-paced take..."

"Shallow, sterile and eyeball-drillingly inane..."

"Shouldn’t we be allowed to demand a little more than mere competency?"

"A reasonably faithful big screen adaptation that, while it features plenty of juvenile humour, wisely doesn’t lean toward broad satire."

"Lazy and for fans only..."

"While the writing is chuckle-inducing and the voice acting is passable, neither necessitate a second playthrough..."

"Yes, it’s a winner!"

"(The) filmmakers have flattened the concept into benign nothingness."

"Everyone is a micron deep, pixels without much in the way of personality."

"Occasionally amusing but rarely engaging..."
