The Super Mario Bros. Movie Is Returning To Cinemas This Year

Definitely not interested. I thought the movie was solid fun one time. It was fine enough the second time I saw it too, but my kids love the movie, so I’ve probably seen it six times and they’ve seen it more times than that. My wife and I are at a point with the movie where, if the kids want to watch it, they can go in the basement and we are NOT joining them.

It was a fun little fluff movie at first, but it’s grating upon further watchings. For comparison, I don’t feel that way about Mutant Mayhem or the Studio Ghibli films (seriously they have a Ghibli marathon like every two months… if they watch one Miyazaki, they run through them all) or even the Disney films they’ve attached to (though I’d prefer not to watch Finding Nemo/Finding Dory at this point, I can stomach it), but the Mario Movie can stay far, far away from me. Yes, I am surprised I feel this way, but what did I expect from Illumination? I can’t stand any of their other films either.
