DisposedData Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 9 minutes ago, YM! said: Emoji Movie should entertain families but is it a good movie? Quantumania and Shazam: Fury of the Gods do their job at entertaining but are they good? They’re literally dozens of better just fun kids movies that have come out within the past ten years with better reviews. I’m a lifelong Mario fan and I enjoyed it as a 3/5 or C-tier Dreamworks movie with some damn fun setpieces and fun enough time at the theaters but its plot and pacing aren’t really good (I also was hoping for it to be funnier considering the talent apart from Bowser) and the beats are generic. I can easily understand why critics aren’t over the moon and tbh I think in a situation if the same movie was all original idea, it probably wouldn’t have the same fervor in fans. Emoji movie had horrible audience scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that Mario isn’t the same quality (could’ve used better comparisons like the Ice Age movies or live action remakes) but my point still stands.

I'm not sure why that would warrant a thumbs down. It's like saying "metal fans will love this heavy metal record but soccer moms won't like it, so"... Yup. They made a Mario Bros movie for people that love Mario. They didn’t pander to the few that aren’t into it. Too many film versions of beloved properties have had corners cut to appeal to everyone outside the circle. This easily could have been Mario and Luigi in the real world, needing a family and searching for stars in New York or some shit. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Duncan Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Moderation Yeah we're done with this whole "critics were wrong" stuff for Mario. It's not funny, never was funny, never will be funny, and will just lead to you all talking in circles in a desperate attempt to defend a corporate product. Believe it or not, people are allowed to dislike a silly kids movie about plumbers and turtles and you don't have to throw temper tantrums over critics saying mean things about a corporate product designed to sell toys and theme park tickets. Please stop with this, or you warning points will be thrown around. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the movie, but critics are allowed to like or dislike whatever they want. That review thread was close to two weeks ago people. Move on.

Its not a silly kids movie its a 4 quad monster lol Personally the mario movie had a ton of fan service which I find critics dont like. However if done right fan service is cat nip to fans.

cdsacken Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Terrible. Can't believe Mario is only going to do 600 million domestic making a massive profit. I'm sure the studio is in shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 It’s funny, even with such low weekdays, the movie would go over 70m this weekend with Zootopia style increases. Not quite predicting that, but it’s also not crazy either given the way it held over this past weekend resembling a smaller scale well liked family film on a massive scale.

MovieMan89 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Going with 60-64 as my 3rd weekend range after Monday #. Wouldn’t be shocked either if it goes higher though. Weekend holds for it these next two weeks especially are gonna be bonkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I don't see why its all of a sudden going to perform worse than Sonic. It kept momentum in its first weekend after burning $60M of demand Wed/Thu with kids off. It kept momentum in its second weekend after burning $260M through 9 days. Why should it lose it now? $75M Over/Under 3rd weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
