INTRO:I’m Hank, longtime podcaster, filmmaker, and YouTuber, and this is my review of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie This is a spoiler-filled review of the movie so you’ve been warned.Synopsis:Mario ventures into space, exploring cosmic worlds and tackling galactic challenges far from the familiar Mushroom Kingdom.BUDGET:The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has an estimated budget of $110 million dollars.It’ll easily surge past a billion dollars.SETTINGS:The world of Mario Galaxy is vibrant, busy and alive.CHARACTERS:Glen Powell Fox McCloud(voice)Anya Taylor-Joy Princess Peach(voice)Chris Pratt Mario(voice)Jack Black Bowser(voice)Brie Larson Rosalina(voice)Benny Safdie Bowser Jr.(voice)Keegan-Michael Key Toad(voice)Charlie Day Luigi(voice)Donald Glover Yoshi(voice)HITS:Throwbacks to the super scope 6.Luigi uses Super Mario Bros. 3's Frog Suit power-up to defeat a Big Bertha fish.The Gateway Galaxy information desk is manned by R.O.B. and he does the slow moving bit.Image of Slippy Toad from Star Fox 64.Baby Mario even plays the Mario theme on his teeth.Yoshi eats and expels Francis the dog from the first movie.Yoshi was a fun addition.Short runtime (99 minutes).MISSES:I disliked the storyline for Bowser. The bad guy trying to be good is overdone in Hollywood. No more conflicted bad guys.The story overall is convoluted.Fox McCloud is a cool addition but unnecessary as the cast felt bloated.Welcome to the super princess world. Princess Daisy is up next! Yes, have princesses in the movie, but don’t make a Mario movie about them.The nihilistic Lumalee is back to ensure you're going to have awkward conversations about death with your 5 year old.The voices didn’t all land as well as in the first movie.This sequel lacked the heart of the first movie.CHECK OUT MY NEW SHOW CALLED: Low-Budget Movie ReviewsLINK: https://feeds.captivate.fm/low-budget-movie-reviews/MOVIE SCORE: 6/10DIRECTION: B (four directors)WRITING: D Matthew Fogel (convoluted story).ANIMATION: A POST PRODUCTION (score/sfx/edit/color grade) AREWATCHABILITY: C
