What to Know

Critics Consensus

While it's nowhere near as thrilling as turtle tipping your way to 128 lives, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a colorful -- albeit thinly plotted -- animated adventure that has about as many Nintendos as Nintendon'ts.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Without overplaying its hand, it hits all the major notes within the wild, inventive universe of block-breaking and Goomba-stomping. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Peter Travers ABC News This lively computer-animated take on the video game just opened and it’s already the biggest box-office smash of 2023. Despite lapses into dull and disposable, it’s also a godsend for parents seeking family entertainment for the 5-year-old in all of us. Apr 21, 2023 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (3) John Wilmes Chicago Reader Among the many errors of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, screenwriter Matthew Fogel plops him and his brother Luigi into a milquetoast Brooklyn family that doubts them and disrespects their small-business dreams. Apr 15, 2023 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (4) James Preston Poole Discussing Film The iconic plumber’s big screen re-do is a proud celebration of the character’s appeal. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Calum Cooper Cinerama Film All movies exist to sell, but this exists to sell everything but the movie. It’s not a love letter – it’s soulless capitalism. The Super Mario Bros Movie is an imagination-free wasteland where cinematic storytelling goes to die. Rated: 1/5 Jul 17, 2024 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite A specific sequence set across the streets of Brooklyn is a gorgeous nod to the 2D platformer aesthetic. It might be my favorite adaptation of the gamified visual look to the big screen since “Tron: Legacy.” Rated: 3/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
