The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

"Perfectly serviceable movie that is going to make a lot of kids very happy and a lot of adults very rich."

"Its ingenuity is infectious."

"Doesn’t have a ton to offer."

"A lovingly crafted entry point with the potential for more."

"Whizzes by fast enough to keep adults from getting enraged or bored."

"Short, sweet, and over before anything can get annoying."

"The internet was right. Chris Pratt is all wrong as the title character in The Super Mario Bros. Movie."

"Willfully avoids anything creative or ambitious."

"Beautifully animated..."

"A snarky and fatuous air that leans hard on winking humour and bland, hackneyed irony."

"Remarkably slight, superficial, and short."

"Just another soulless ploy to sell us merchandise that doesn’t bother to disguise its creativity-starved greed."

"This isn’t a movie; it’s a checklist of fan expectations."

"Emotionally bland."

"Belts along with an assault of candy colours and a commendable command of canonical detail."

"Let ’em fight! Let ’em fly! When the movie focuses on this, it’s fun."
