I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

    The Mario movie was incredibly mediocre, despite its high production value. I’m talking MCU-levels of truckloads of money spent with shockingly little to show for it.

      When I first read this comment, I thought you were talking about Super Mario Bros (1993) and was about to throw hands. Because that movie is actually good, if deeply flawed. Its flaws make for a more entertaining movie altogether.

        John Leguizamo is a hidden gem of cinema so the OG Mario punches way above its weight class.

        If you like the YouTube channel “Some More News”, you should check out their “movie”. Yes, they made a movie and yes, it’s out there at times, but the way it ties real world to the 1990s Mario Bros movie is so fragmented that when they finally connect all the dots, it’s a mind blow!

      Mediocre is too kind. The Mario movie was bad.

      I took my kids. They kind of enjoyed it, but forgot about it almost immediately.

      Huge Mario fan here, I unironically think the 90s movie is better.

      I wasn’t even born when that movie came out so don’t “hur durr nostalgia” me

      I finally watched it after hearing good things and wow, yep. Incredibly mediocre, cashing in on nostalgia.

      I did enjoy the music, though, but probably mostly because of nostalgia and my love for NES/SNES Mario games.

      Funny you mention the MCU because the audience for those movies is practically the same. For everything I’ve read and seen it basically sounds like a animated MCU movie

        I can’t speak to its reception with film critics, but the word of mouth opinions I heard were very positive. It was also nominated for a number of Oscars.
