DISCLAIMER: Before I start I want to prefeace this blog post by saying that I am not a movie reviewer. This my personal blog where I post my personal thoughts and because I love cartooons and anime, posts about such topics will occur. If you subscribe, subcribe for me and my artwork. Thank you
Okay so I saw the first movie and naturally I decided to watch the second. The movie starts off with Rosalina telling a story about Princess Peach and the Plumber then suddenly attacked and kidnapped by Bowser JR. The entire movie was Princess peach traveling to save her sister. So this is the first problem with the movie. Mario has been left behind to watch over Peach's castle and although he did join Peach midway...he felt like a side character. If anything I felt that the title and movie poster a tad misleading. While YES it does feature them travling throught the Galaxy, Peach's presence felt much stronger than the Mario brothers. Mario himself was lacking and so was the story. The story started off strong but lacked substance. Yoshi didn't really add much of anything except for just being there. I was almost just not gonna mention him here BECAUSE he didn't contribute to the story except for saving Mario, Luigi, and Toad from a giant dinosaur. Overall the movie, storywise, was not the best.
The upside to this is that the movie was VISUALLY appealing and it really does tickle your nostalgia for a good while which I personally found very pleasent. The call backs to the older games were quite refreshing. If anything Fox's presence in the movie was the best part and I WISH ILLUMINATION DIDN'T SPOIL THAT.
He was the only non-Mario game character that actually had a speaking role. There were a few others that I felt was ridiculus and you can obviously tell that they were trying to do some cinimatic Universe type shit. *Brawl music plays*
Overall, this movie was fun to watch especially in theaters. Definitely a movie for fans. If anything I did enjoy this movie more than the first one however, it's probably not the type of movie I'd watch over and over again. There IS a mid credit scene and an after credit scene. So if you seen people talk about Princess Daisy, that's why. This to me indicates that there will be a thrid movie.
Anyway, that's all I have for now. I will see you guys next time.
