It's a me, the Real Film Chronicles review of the Super Mario Bros. Movie! After 40 years and a couple of false starts, Nintendo finally made a successful transition from video games to the silver screen (all due respect to The Wizard and 1993's Super Mario Bros.). With an all-star cast; the full might of the animated film film titan, Illumination; Nintendo's Scrooge-McDuck-esque coffers; and four decades of simmering nostalgia, The Super Mario Bros. Movie seems to have cemented its place in movie history, raking in over a billion dollars during its theatrical run. But does the movie do justice to the timeless tale of two plumbers from Brooklyn transported to a magical realm of princesses, sentient mushrooms, talking apes, and dinosaur despots? Listen in as your intrepid hosts explore the ins and outs of Nintendo's first successful film and maybe also learn a thing or two about the untold film history of your old pals Mario and Luigi. So dust off that Tanookie suit, hop in your go-kart, and take a ride down rainbow road with The Reel Film Chronicles to keep you company. And just remember, the real blue shell is the friends we make along the way. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) | directed by: Michael Jelenic, Aaron Horvath | starring: Chris Pratt - Anya Taylor-Joy - Charlie Day - Jack Black - Keegan-Michael Key | Adventure - Comedy - Animation - Video Game | 93 min https://reelfilmchronicles.com
