1.5/5
While boasting strong animation, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ultimately feels closer to a "made for TikTok" film than something that's actually tangible. With a narrative that goes at a breakneck pace, this is truly one for kids with no attention span. Go to Full Review

Ruben Peralta Rigaud Cocalecas Apr 22
The result is a film that feels more like an extension of the video game than a cinematic work. There's no clear intention to tell a story beyond the immediate experience. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
