Why are they giving this movie 30 - 45~ scores?

Its really well animated, Peach isn't as much of a girlboss, The cameos were not intrusive, has a normal ish child movie plot.

Is rotten tomatoes filled with furfags or something?
>>
>>153056824
the first movie also didnt have good numbers ther but people still enjoyed it just fine

It's basically puppet animation but in CGI, anon

Because it's not a movie.
>muh girlboss or not!
no one cares.

It's useful, when watching a scene in a movie you're analyzing, to think in terms of what it accomplished in the overall structure of the movie.
That isn't to say that every scene must move the plot forward (though that is part of writing a -tight- script), but that every scene should serve a purpose. Maybe it provides characterization that will be needed later, or provides a break in the action so the audience isn't overwhelmed, or plays into specific themes or character arcs. If a scene can be cut from your movie without any impact on the rest of the edit then that scene should be scrapped or entirely reworked.

I say all this because nearly every scene in the Mario Galaxy movie could be scrapped and it would be the exact same movie. You could literally just have the start with Rosalina's capture, everyone goes to rescue her, final scenes, it would be the same fucking movie but 20 minutes long.

Reviewers aren't being hyperbolic when they call this an anti-movie. The previous Mario film at least pretended to have story beats and a character arc; it fucked up the paint by numbers but you could still recognize the form of the picture. This movie has none of that to the point that people might rightly compare it to clip shows.

The closest it gets to any kind of actual writing is Peach wanting to find her Sister and discover her origins, which takes up approximately 35 seconds of runtime and has no impact on her character whatsoever.
>>
>>153057058
>No impact whatsoever
faggot the way she saved Rosalina was in the fucking flashback about her finding about her origins
>>
>>153057099
>faggot the way she saved Rosalina was in the fucking flashback about her finding about her origins
Anon do you know what the word character means?
>>
>>153057107
>>153057099
you know what, nevermind, fuck being obtuse about it:
"has no impact on her character" means it didn't change her in any way. It didn't make her grow or change as a person. It wasn't part of any kind of arc.
It doesn't mean "had no plot significance"

>>153057003
>It is a jumbled mess of characters just going through set-pieces.

So they perfectly adapted every Super Mario Bros game.

It was not a good movie. Beautiful, well animated, and no licensed music this time, but its still not good.

Its 90 minutes of turning off your brain and going "hey, thats from _____!". Which, ya know, is fine.

It's a commercial tie-in popcorn flick. Critics fucking hate those.

Only real issue I see id that it has the pacing of a Kyle Carozza cartoon. There is zero downtime between each stunt. It bounces from high speed stunt to the next over and over again until credits.
>>
>>153057720
>It's a commercial tie-in popcorn flick.
So was the lego movie and that was a masterpiece beloved by critics.
>>
>>153057720
the pacing is AN issue, but the real problem is that there is nothing resembling a story at all. No character arcs, nothing resembling basic plot beats, you could cut more than three quarters of the movie and nothing would change.
>>
>>153056824
There's no consideration for character arcs, heroes and villains swap energies between scenes. It's all just OOOH I KNOW THAT REFERENCE, and no one but Peach needed to go to do the hero thing. The palace is rebuilt without consequence, Bowser is good then he's not then he's evil and then Mario saves him for nothing and Luigi's trust is nothing. It's setpieces and OOH I MEMBER THAT. It sucks. It's not even so bad, it's good, it's just bad. Mid bad. And it'll make money because mid bad is fine.

Who thought this was ok?
>>
>>153056824
It was visually appealing but felt kinda lacking and jumpy everywhere else. It was basically just jumping from scene to scene to go "look at this thing". The Mario Bros felt more like side characters, Rosalina is barely in it, and the there should have been more character interactions. Fox was cool though. If anything this movie made me want to see a hypothetical Star Fox movie more, and that'd probably work better in a movie format.

The heel-face-heel revolving door was rushed. I thought it was nice that he got along with Luigi

Yes it was a movie made by committee.

All they do it list off a series of shots or stunts they want to happen. And then some story intern will stitch all of that shit together into a full script.
>>
I feel like people that say "it's for kids so it's fine" just don't watch a lot of movies. The average kids' movie these days is far better. Hell, that dumb NBA pun Goat movie is better.

Why would I lie to him Mario didn't devote have this movie to a fat black woman's wedding
>>
>>153058045
The first movie involved a fat white man's wedding. Is that better or worse?
>>
>>153057857
And in the scene to try and not make him the bad guy he's just, not there, it's Mario, mr. I DON'T TRUST YOU doing it, not even a 'ooh this would be a lot easier with Luigi' acknowledgement, just NO DON'T DO IT BOWSAH but no we gotta do the bridge JUST LIKE DAH GAME

Man the more I think about this movie the more I hate it. Everyone left it at the end of the midnight premiere powerwalking to their car in silence, no one wanted to talk about this shit it was BAD, it doesn't deserve the money it's going to get, it's just another rich dumb thing getting richer and running off things that happened before, it's the modern US politics of movies.

The first one tried to be a movie
The second one didn't even try

To put it another way the first mario movie was a paint by numbers with some of the wrong colors and maybe a little drawing outside the lines. It's a mess but you can make out the image.
This movie is spin art.
>>
>>153058256
Is fox that cool in the star fox games too?

It needed an extra 10 minutes of character interactions and reactions but other than that, it was fun.
>>
>>153058378
Falco is the cool one in the games. Normally Fox is just “protagonist leader”.
>>
Watch as the next movie is gonna be called Mario Sunshine and it's gonna adapt Land, and add characters from Warioware, with Wario as the main villain and Daisy as Peach cousin, with just a few minutes to reference Sunshine but no delfino plaza.

The only lasting legacy of this movie will be Rosalenis.

What pissed me off more than the sisters bit is the stardust bs, lets just make any of the mystery to Peach's origins really boring and make zero sense, she's not even human and we just gloss upon it to keep rushing the movie

I just got back from it...I don't get the hate either. It's hardly high art, but it's beautifully animated and was really, really enjoyable.

>>153058804
I really wanted to see Peach’s parents. We saw Mario and Luigi’s. I was picturing a scene where she sees a giant portrait painting of her family similar to the one from Tangled, peach finding out their died/missing, begins crying and Mario comforting her. Missed opportunity.

As a huge critic of the first movie, I don’t even know how people are disappointed in this. Like what the fuck did they THINK they were going to get? This was exactly what I thought it was going to be: an aimless mess of references loosely tied together by a flimsy plot. If anything I think this movie accomplished doing exactly what people liked about the first movie. All people did in 2023 was praise it for being a collection of references, and suddenly they hate that?

Let me be clear: this movie sucks. I’m just surprised people somehow expected better after the first made it’s mission statement of “we don’t give a fuck about compelling story, this is a kids movie for little kids and we’ll just say “blue shell” and expect people to cheer”. Literally what was anybody who was disappointed even expecting? You all asked for specifically this.
>>
>>153059103
>Let me be clear: this movie sucks
Nah it doesn't
>>
>>153058884
Yeah Im honestly surprised no one's talked more abt it, for as little story as the movie has the one bit of backstory shown just kinda removed anything Peach had going for her to turn her into magic space entity when that was never a thing for her
>>
>>153056824
>Is rotten tomatoes filled with furfags or something?
They would've loved it if that were the case. People just WANT to hate the movie. All the complaints like >muh girlboss or >no plot are nothing more than rationalizing, no different than gender studies progressives bashing anything and everything for being "problematic"
>>
>>153059103
If you told people months before release that Fox McCloud was in and had more screentime than Rosalina, you'd be laughed out of the room. I think it's worse than the original and people didn't expect for the bar to raised lower.

I feel like I'm going insane because me and my family really enjoyed the movie. Great animation, nice action, good amount of laughs. I've seen much worse animated movies yet critics act like this is as bad as it could get. Hell its better than GOAT. 3/5 Just dumb fun.
>>
>>153059155
Even before Fox was revealed it was abundantly clear that this movie would not be a faithful retelling of the game’s story. Right off the first real trailer it was obvious. Why anybody expected anything different is beyond me. Even before the Fox reveal we knew the movie had to introduce Jr and Yoshi as well, of course Rosalina got sidelined. The first movie already couldn’t handle Luigi.
>>
>The good
-Mario and Peach's love story, because there IS one even if Mario is not openly saying it yet.
-Yoshi's montage and what happened from the original movie post credits scene, also the implication of a possible plot beat for the DK movie.
-Them actually continuing with Peach's backstory
-Bowser admitting he was enjoying his time with Mario and Luigi, and how proud he was of Jr's legit efforts to be a worthy successor.
-the action scenes were all pretty well done.
-Mario wasnt jealous of Fox.
-Fox was pretty nice all things considered.

>The questionable:
-INCEST!... seriously tho, why make Peach and Rosa, sisters? if anything, it would make more sense if it were Peach and Daisy
-Peach also has the power cosmic Rosa has, and that was what saved the day... i really dont know what to say about it. but this aint happening in the games, so eh...
-Daisy in the second Postcredit scene... i really see it hard to make a Mario 3 movie after this.

>The Bad.
-like many people said, relegating Rosa to a minor role like that.
-wasting a post credit scene with the Jailer Lumalee bit.
