"The film was made by Illumination, the studio responsible for the movies, and its animators are proficient in the visual language of cinema."
"The high point of visual creativity occurs when Peach goes to a casino in which visitors can walk on any wall, reminding me both of Fred Astaire's legendary dance on the walls and ceiling."
"Wart becomes a slightly off-kilter crime lord in a fresh characterization that makes me see the character in a new way."
"What sorely lacks is enough originality of its own to make the trip worthwhile."
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie features familiar characters and sound effects that appeal to Nintendo fans but fails to deliver an engaging story. The film transitions through arbitrary situations, offering unremarkable jokes and action set pieces. While the animation is technically impressive, it lacks originality. A standout moment occurs in a casino scene, showcasing creative visuals. However, most characters, including Bowser Jr. and Fox McCloud, conform to expected portrayals, with few surprises, such as Wart's fresh characterization as a crime lord.
