At first glance, what you see here looks really convincing. The look matches, Bowser is right, really mean, and Super Mario ends up in the Mushroom Kingdom. Toad and Luigi are also on board, there’s even a full Penguin Kingdom and plenty of humor. Only Princess Peach is currently missing a trace.

Super Mario Bros movie: The voice actors are… okay?

There has been a lot of debate about this before.if Chris Pratt matches the original voice of Mario (via: Kotaku). Now it’s clear: it works to a certain extent, even if it seems quite strange that Mario doesn’t seem to have an Italian accent anymore. But maybe it’s better. By the way, here at Polygon you can listen to the all-Italian dub.

Jack Black definitely fills his role as Bowser very well. It really fits the proverbial fist in the eye and already sounds like an absolute highlight of the whole movie. It doesn’t matter if you like Jack Black or not. Anyway, Bowser seems to have plenty of space here and that could be pretty cool.

Super Mario himself looks pretty convincing too. However, for better or worse, it has to live with the fact that it will now be used in many memes and reaction GIFs.
