"The reviews have been memorably dire. The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw called it worse than AI; Empire deemed it a humourless, hysterical trudge. It's been vilified even more than the first Mario movie, which film critics also hated."
"Instead of developing anything that happened in the first Mario movie, which was extremely light on plot already, it pretty much launches straight into an unrelated caper in which Mario, Luigi and Peach now accompanied by Yoshi... zoom through the galaxy in search of star princess Rosalina."
"There aren't really any jokes, and the main comic asset of the first movie Jack Black's take on Bowser has been disappointingly defanged. My children truly loved it."
The Super Mario Galaxy movie received overwhelmingly negative reviews, with critics labeling it worse than its predecessor. The film features Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi on a quest for star princess Rosalina. While visually bright and action-packed, it lacks a coherent plot and humor, failing to build on the first movie's origin story. Despite the critical reception, children enjoyed the film, indicating a disconnect between adult critics and younger audiences who appreciate the Mario franchise.
