The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Really pointless, at least it looked cool

Pacing sequence of a YouTube short

The sequel to The Super Mario Bros movie, and while the first movie had good world building with a good plot despite its short runtime, Galaxy is somehow longer, yet feels like it only took 30 min to watch. And not in a good way. The plot moves really fast and because of this there is virtually no stakes. Lots of dull and empty references too and the addition of new characters like Yoshi, Rosalina and Fox add nothing to the movie. There’s a lot to bash on in the movie if you really hated it, but unlike the others I gave it a 45. That’s because I did still like and enjoy it to a point, just mostly because it’s mario and also the action parts were good. Bowser Jr was a good character too, even if he was underutilized and sidelined so he could be a duo with his father. Peach’s backstory, while unnecessary does give at least a refreshing pause in the movie and also Rosalina had ALL OF US in a chokehold. Other than that the movie could honestly be watched with no dialogue and be understood still. Like I said earlier there’s probably a lot more I could criticize but I don’t want to bash on the movie anymore. Also reading this review is probably as chaotic as the movie is so that’s why I’m just gonna stop

An incredible movie where something is always happening, yet nothing happens at all
