It doesn't feel like Mario at all. It feels like every hollywood cliche with mario paint slapped on it. and of course they made Peach a "le strong and independent" hollywood feminist cliche she practically has the complete opposite personality as the games, instead she's just another hollywood feminist cliche. And Mario seems to be as the victim of "slapstick jokes" to laugh at. Everything is just so hollywood
Also they couldn't even get any of the voices of the characters right
While I prefer it be Mario and Luigi saving Peach but I'm ok with Mario and Peach saving poor Luigi as long as Peach is not a typical Mary Sue that has to show Mario how to do basic stuff and Mario is an actual hero in his own movie. If they can manage that I'll be content.
You mean like 'The Lego Movie', where the putative main character was an inept buffoon constantly outfought, outwitted, outmaneuvered and out'bettered' by his female counterpart.
Was it a parody, though? Or did they throw the main character a bone after-the-fact, just to get a passing grade for minimal effort?
It was clearly a matrix parody
