Over. 

 

And that's just because the first Cloudy With A Chance is better than anything Illumination have ever done.

I think you are too harsh. 

At least the first 2 DM movies are really good imo.

SLOP is fine.

Have I watched anything else? I don't really remember..

I really hope Nintendo will be VERY demanding, the potential is there but they must be very vigilant on quality. Right @Cookie ?

 

Please, no Zelda by Illumination!

 

What quality? 

 

The games are about some random guy jumping on blocks to save his girlfriend from a dragon. There's nothing there in terms of story or character.

 

Honestly I dont see how this movie turns out bad or good, just mediocre.

That's because you don't know the franchise very well. Mario&Luigi Superstar Saga was a great RPG with a story, dialogues, multiple characters...doing something good is definitely possible.

I'm not a fan of Illumination but they're miles better than SPA.

I forgot about Sing. I like Sing, especially those singing Japanese puppies.

Oh yeah that too.

I liked it yeah.

Generally Illumination films aren't made for most of us but they seem to immensely please the audience they are targetting. So while I am not gonna give my money to them, I won't jump into the  "Illumination is ruinning animationk d sanfgvadsf" train.

They are harmless kids movies. So If you don't like them just ignore them and let those who like them enjoy.

And I think it's a good match. Mario playa right into Illumnations wheelhouse.

Apart from IA4 and IA5, Blue Sky’s films are good to excellent.

Detective Pikachu better

I'm thinking more along the lines of $150m/$450m.

Lol...You wish...   People don't get tired of underestimating Illumination huh.

Huh. Not the worst thing in the world.

WDAS/Pixar > Dreamworks > WAG > Blue Sky > SPA/Illumination

I'm most skeptical of a Mario movie. The character doesn't even talk.

[DAJK]

I honestly would think Illumination is the best choice if this film has to get made. Light on story, silly and colourful animation. It'll work IMO.

[Fancyarcher]

Hmm. I guess Nintendo has been more "friendlier" with using their characters outside of video games in recent years, so I guess this fits that trend, however Illumination... EH!!!

I wonder if Miyamoto will produce.

He'll probably get an executive producing credit at least. That was probably part of the deal.

As long as this leads into a Legend of Zelda movie, whether directly or indirectly, I’m fine with this film’s existence.

An Illumination made Zelda movie sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Hopefully it never actually happens.
