At this point I’m going to Ladbrokes and betting against everything Kotaku promotes. They are like Jim Cramer of the gaming industry.

    I haven’t seen it, but it was apparently good enough to earn nearly $1.4 billion worldwide.

    “Terrible” may be accurate in terms of plot, faithfulness, etc, but certainly not performance.

      The new Mario movie was pretty good. There were a few times that I thought “this doesn’t belong here, and they just wanted to shove a reference in”, but overall, I think they did it justice.

      Even Chris Pratt.

        I was with you until Chris Pratt, the dub cast in general was bad except for Luigi, Bowser and maybe Toad.

            Yeah, I enjoyed it. It wasn’t a great movie, but it was fun for a kids’ film, and I loved all the references and stuff.

              The movie was great because it managed to do what movies should, entertain and (in this case) be fun.
              I liked it a lot, I’ve rewatched it quite a couple of times and the dub cast is my only real complain, because they weren’t really picked to fit the voices, just to sell the movie… And that was not needed, the movie would have been a success without those big names either way so they could have chosen better voices instead of big names.
