The Take

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie recycles the 2023 Illumination hit with Mario tossed into space for another round of colorful set pieces. It prioritizes franchise comfort over any attempt at a real story or new voice.

Nostalgia for the games does the heavy lifting while the script coasts on predictable gags and safe casting choices.

The Verdict

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie delivers exactly what the scan card promises: space-flavored franchise slop that plays it safe at every turn. It banks on childhood recognition rather than building anything memorable.

Skip the sequel.
