Jeg er fullstendig klar over at jeg ikke er en del av hovedmålgruppen for Aaron Horvath og Michael JelenicSuper Mario Bros.-filmen. Selv om jeg er en tilfeldig fan av videospillet som den nye animerte funksjonen er basert på, er dette en film som er direkte rettet mot pre-tenåringer og barn, og det er en aldersgruppe som ikke kommer til å se den for historie utvikling og dens buer; de kommer til å se det for alle de vakre fargene og kjente karakterene. Barn kommer ikke til å bry seg om at det er en øvelse for å få plass til så mange franchisereferanser som mulig i en 92-minutters kjøretid, og de kommer ikke til å bry seg om at lydsporet er overveldende generisk fordi de ikke har sett de tusenvis av andre Hollywood-produksjoner som har brukt de samme sangene.

Jeg er veldig tydelig ikke en filmgjenger som siktes til med denne – men jeg er en profesjonell filmkritiker som har fått i oppdrag å anmeldeSuper Mario Bros.-filmenmed en subjektiv mening. Og i den egenskapen kan jeg si at jeg er sjokkert over hvor forferdelig denne innsatsen er: en ny kinofilm for Nintendo for en generasjon som ikke er gammel nok til å huske/vite om live-actionen fra 1993Super Mario Bros.Det er hyggelig å se på, med animatører som direkte oversetter den fantastiske estetikken til kildematerialet til den store skjermen, men den klarer ikke å utøve enda en oppfinnsom eller smart idé. I stedet fungerer den mer som en sjekkliste med nikk til spillene enn en narrativ funksjon.
I et forsøk på å lage en slags opprinnelseshistorie for franchisen, introduserer manusforfatteren Matthew Fogels manus Mario (Chris Pratt) og Luigi (Charlie Day) som søsken som bor i Brooklyn, New York, som nylig har sluttet i jobben for å starte sitt eget rørleggerfirma. De blir sett på som vitser og skuffelser av familie og venner, som motiverer dem til å prøve å bevise seg selv, og når de får vite om massive flom i området deres, prøver de å ta grep. Mens de er i kloakksystemet, ender de imidlertid opp med at de både blir sugd inn i et merkelig grønt rør og transportert gjennom Warp Zone – med Luigi som ender opp som fange av den erobringshungrige Bowser (Jack Black) og Mario som lander i det fantastiske Mushroom Kingdom .
Med hjelp av en liten, ny venn ved navn Toad (Keegan-Michael Key), søker Mario hjelp fra prinsesse Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) for å prøve å finne broren sin, og mens han gjør det blir han viklet inn i konflikten med Bowser – som veldig sakte er på vei til Mushroom Kingdom i håp om å vinne Peachs hjerte og imponere henne med sin besittelse av Superstjernen.
Super Mario Bros.-filmens liste over helter og skurker er endimensjonale og intetsigende.
Gitt at titler innenforMariofranchise har en tendens til å være mer fokusert på gåter og spill, filmskaperne bakSuper Mario Bros.-filmenabsolutt hadde arbeidet sitt for dem å prøve å utvikle en historie og karakterpersonligheter for funksjonen, men sluttresultatet viser ikke akkurat mye innsats, siden alt og alle er endimensjonale. Heltene og skurkene har hver et enkelt personlighetstrekk som de rir på hele tiden, og plottet gir null muligheter for noen av dem til å vokse eller forandre seg følelsesmessig. De mest forferdelige eksemplene på dette er prinsesse Peach som kaster "jomfru i nød"-personaen for ganske enkelt å bli en hyper-blid "sterk kvinnelig hovedrolle;" Seth Rogens Donkey Kong er ikke noe mer enn en ekkel bølle; og Bowser bruker en overraskende prosentandel av skjermtiden sin på å sitte ved et piano og surre om «Peaches», men det er et universelt problem.
Historien gir ingen mulighet for karakterene til å endre seg og være interessante fordi det ikke er en del av filmens privilegium. Det går ikke videre og setter opp scener for å utvikle en meningsfull historie fordi det er klart at det eksklusive målet er å finne måter å jamme på i forskjellige settstykker som minner om de forskjelligeMariospill: Peach tester Marios evner ved å sette opp en bane som ligner på den som finnes i originalenSuper Mario Bros. spillet (støttet av en stønneverdig bruk av Bonnie Tylers "I Need A Hero"), blir hovedpersonene allierte med Kong-hæren via en runde medSuper Smash Bros., og så smeller AC/DCs "Thunderstruck" mens karakterene designer en samling med personlig tilpassede kjøretøy a laMario Kart. Det er hult, kreativt konkurs og en opplevelse som ligner på å sitte på sofaen og kjede seg mens vennene dine tar kontrollørene.
Mens Keegan-Michael Key gjør en innsats, høres Chris Pratt og resten av rollebesetningen ut som de selv spiller Mario-karakterer.
Grunnheten til bedriften blir bare ytterligere understreket av filmens A-lister-fylte rollebesetning. Keegan-Michael Key får litt spesiell æren for å ha gjort en innsats for å lage en stemme for Toad som er helt ulik hvordan han normalt høres ut, men det samme kan ikke sies om resten av stjernene – og filmen gjør til og med et poeng av gni dette faktum i ansiktet til publikum. Introduksjonen til titulære tegn iSuper Mario Bros.-filmener via en reklamefilm for deres nye rørleggervirksomhet der de blir omtalt ved å bruke stemmer som faktisk minner om videospillkollegene deres ... men så trekker handlingen seg tilbake og vi møter en veldig Chris Pratt og Charlie Day-klingende Mario og Luigi som stiller spørsmål ved om aksentene deres er for mye i TV-spotten.
Over hele linjen er det som om studioet var redd for at filmen ikke fikk pengene sine fra det populære talentet som ble vervet og insisterte på at skuespillerne tonede ting som ble gjort slik at stemmene deres kunne gjenkjennes. Det høres kanskje ekstremt kynisk ut, men det er en holdning rent inspirert av vibbene i verket.
Super Mario Bros.-filmen ser bra ut, men det er et tak på ros som kan tilbys.
Illumination Entertainment har absolutt laget en film som ser bra ut iSuper Mario Bros.-filmen… men det er ikke for mye ros å gi gitt at det ikke er mye skapelse; det er innovasjon i stedet for oppfinnelse, og selv det er litt generøst. Barn vil utvilsomt elske det, og det vil ha dem alle krevende videospill, leker og alle varianter av ephemera til neste store kjepphest kommer, men alle som ser det med et litt kritisk blikk vil gjenkjenne det for det tomme IP-karet som det er.
