"THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE REVIEWS"

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Analytic

The first Super Mario Bros. Movie reviews are in — and they're not quite super. The new animated movie from video game company Nintendo and Minions studio Illumination is earning high scores as a faithful adaptation of the Mario games, but as one critic puts it: the Mario movie "may complete the level, but it doesn't quite nail the leap to the top of the flagpole." On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, only 55 percent of critics gave The Super Mario Bros. Movie a positive reaction, which is below the 60 percent threshold to qualify as "fresh."

Mario's 55 percent "rotten" score ties 2015's Minions as Illumination's third-worst rated movie in the studio's 13-year history: only 2011's Hop (24%) and 2012's Dr. Seuss' The Lorax (54%) fared worse. The score is also lower than 2018's Dr. Seuss' The Grinch (58%) and 2017's Despicable Me 3 (59%).

Outside of Illumination, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is scoring lower than other big-screen video game adaptations like Pokémon Detective Pikachu (68% fresh), Sonic the Hedgehog (64%) and Sonic 2 (69%), and the wholly-animated The Angry Birds Movie 2 (73%).
