how much it moved you

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow.

“The Rainbow Road scene was also pretty intense. Reminded me of some Mario Kart Mad Max stuff and had me kind of on edge.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“Nintendo knows what's great about the 'Super Mario Bros.' games, and perfectly brings them to life on the big screen.”
Erielle Sudario, We Got This Covered · 90
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie captures the spirit of the games, the deep history, and the incredible possibilities that these games have presented for decades, all in one of the most fun animated films in years, with a team behind it that you can feel loves these characters and this world.”
Ross Bonaime, Collider · 83
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a fireball of animated fantasy. Mario, Luigi, and Peach’s adventure delights with its infectious energy and smart implementations of video game callbacks, and the top-shelf animation renders the Mushroom Kingdom as an Oz-like wonderland that begs to be explored in the inevitable sequels that will follow.”
Tom Jorgensen, IGN · 80
“For any parents reading this — it might not be the best film of the year, but you're going to be able to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie more than once without losing your dang mind.”
Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence · 75
“With an ending clearly setting up further adventures to come, The Super Mario Bros. is a solid kickoff to a new chapter in this enduring, multi-platform franchise”
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 75

“It’s loud, colorful, and constantly moving—but underneath all that energy, there’s barely anything holding it **** biggest issue? It confuses references for substance. The film throws in recognizable elements from the games like it’s checking boxes on a nostalgia spreadsheet, hoping you won’t notice there’s no real depth behind any of it. Locations flash by, characters pop in and out, and nothing is given enough time to actually mean anything. It’s less a story and more a guided tour.Mario himself feels oddly hollow. For a character that’s supposed to carry the entire movie, he barely evolves. Things just… happen to him. There’s no strong arc, no real struggle that shapes him in a meaningful way. He’s just there, moving from scene to scene while the movie rushes *”

“The opening is fairly cringe worthy”
“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.”

“It's a good! My experience of <em>'Mario'</em> starts and ends with <em>'Mario Kart'</em>, which I haven't actually played since back in the day on my Nintendo DS and even then I had no understanding of the franchise itself; just treated it as a normal racing game. I was an Xbox kid growing up (thanks, ma!), so that be the reason. Anyway, that's a long way of saying I'm no Mario know-it-all. Despite all that, I do remember most of the characters from the aforementioned video game and it wa”
