Hi Gorgeous People
Took the daughter to see the new Super Mario Movie at the weekend and we both really enjoyed it.
The plot was a simple one but fulfilled the entertainment factor and was enough to keep you thinking.
Basically Mario (Chris Pratt) and his timid brother Luigi (Charlie Day) are trying to make ends meet in their newly formed plumbing business and trying to impress their family.
When helping out with a big flood in New York they stumble upon a magic pipe which is a portal to what is known in the games as Mario World.
They get separated whilst travelling. Mario ends up in the Mushroom Kingdom with Princess Peach (Anya Taylor -Joy) and Luigi falls into the Dark Lands ruled by the evil Bowser (Jack Black).
Mario helps Princess Peach to defeat Bowser and rescue Luigi and the other lands which Bowser is destroying. They do this with the help of Donkey Kong (Seth Rogen).
Overall - a great film for Nintendo and Super Mario Bros fans. It had some great call backs to the games which even I got and I'm not a huge Super Mario fan. The animation is great and bright and the voice cast do a good job.
There are some good gags including them taking the piss out of Mario's Italian accent. I even chuckled a few times when Mario was fighting and arguing with Donkey Kong.
The story is a basic introduction to Mario and his world and functions well. I even hope there is a sequel.
Bels Score - 8/10
My Score - 8/10
