Let’s go! On April 5th, Super Mario fans will finally be able to discover the long-awaited animated film, the fruit of a collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination!
The first reviews of the feature film were posted online 2 days before the feature film was released in our region! The work shown at the preview in the United States was also shown to French journalists at the press screening.
So the first reports dropped when the embargo was lifted, which ended on the morning of Sunday, April 2. Does Super Mario Bros live up to expectations? Here are some answers before the national release on April 5.
Finally we can talk about it: #SuperMarioBros is Best Video Game Adaptation and Best Illumination Film.
It’s very smart, funny, super rhythmic. And it draws smartly from 40 years of gaming.

A somewhat simplistic but unstoppable nostalgic fanservice fest in the service of a straightforward narrative (except that it’s served up by sumptuous animation). pic.twitter.com/LKRbOg7EtH

“Super Mario Bros is fun and magical fun. A charming adventure starring the plumbing duo from Nintendo, filled with hilarious cameos. This isn’t just another video game movie, it’s one of the best family movies of all time!”
Let’s go! Tea #SuperMarioBrosMovie It’s a lot of fun. I was smiling ear to ear the whole time. They did a really good job with the story telling and easter eggs of the game and Brian Tyler’s music is incredible.
A must-see in cinemas! A great movie for all ages. pic.twitter.com/jxQfFPxKtr— Wendy Lee Szany (@WendyLeeSzany) April 2, 2023
“Super Mario Bros is so much fun. I was smiling all the time. The storytelling and eye-catching of their game is very well done, and Brian Tyler’s music is amazing. A must see in theaters! A great movie for all ages.”
Super Mario Bros. The movie was amazing. He was repeatedly crushed by the agitation. The music is the star of the show. Nintendo fans will be obsessed. I’m not sure any movie in history has had so many easter eggs. And good ones! pic.twitter.com/CxvDvPzTnQ

“Super Mario Bros the movie is amazing. The hype brought me to tears more than once. The star of the adaptation is the music. Nintendo fans will be obsessed with this movie, I’m not sure a movie has ever had so many easter eggs and good!”
Tea #SuperMarioMovie: I really wanted to like it, but I didn’t like it.
A few solid scenes capture the spirit of the game, but mostly it’s an overly silly, bare-bones plot, full of / bad jokes and worse song choices.
It looks great, but I was more bored and annoyed than entertained. pic.twitter.com/D3CnNvbaaN

Germaine Lussier of Gizmodo, on the other hand, is more nuanced. “A few solid scenes capture the spirit of the game, but for the most part it’s just a crude, sketchy plot full of bad jokes and worse song choices. It’s pretty, but it annoys and annoys me more than it entertains.”
Finally I can tell you a little bit about Super Mario Bros. Movie 🔥
A real nugget that will appeal to fans of the first watch and franchise neophytes alike. The world is very well exploited, it’s fresh, it’s colorful and above all it’s full of information ❤ pic.twitter.com/XxyTeUoFRL
