@Owl1 If you do decide to go, bring some disaffecting wipes, and wipe down whatever seat your going to sit in, something tells me people aren’t being sanitary.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

Sorry for not being active much recently, but I’m very much alive!
I was going to pre-purchase our tickets but I just checked and Thursday during the same seems wide open. So I don't see the need to pre-purchase and tack on a "convenience fee." I'll take the risk and walk in Thursday hoping we're good for seating.
@FawfulsFury Well people were moaning about Pokemon, Zelda Kingdom Sad, Splatoon 3, Paper Mario etc before it was released so it's only fair for people to moan about a movie from the Minions company before its released too.
I am so disappointed by what I have seen so far. It seems to be just like the games with some light jokes sprinkled in.
I find that especially surprising, because about the first Mario Movie, Miyamoto said that movies should not be straight translations of video games :
"Well, when we first initiated talks about a Super Mario Bros. movie, I tried to emphasize the point that the Mario Bros. games are fun as videogames and if we were going to make a Mario Bros. movie, that movie should be entertaining as a movie, and not a translation of the videogame,"
(from https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2007/11/miyamoto-remebers-the-...
Based on this critique I thought the new Mario Movie would have a more elaborate plot than the games.
Yes, I know that Miyamoto was against stories in GAMES because he thought that the actual gameplay should take the place of a story in video games. But as he said in the quote in the my last post, Movies should not be straight translations of video games, so story has a different role in a movie.
The complaints seem like it's less "story" related and just there's no structure. In games you naturally have the structure of levels starts and then reach the goal which it hasn't compensated for so the movie sounds like it's a series of Youtube clips which young gamers would probably like anyway since alot of them spend hours of just watching people playing games and the standard of writing in alot of games is abysmal.
Imagine if there was a lore heavy storyline that folk insisted was 'canon' and be forced into every game going forward for continuity. Sounds unbearable to me.
I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.
@GrailUK They should include lore though, it's all well and good featuring random easter eggs from the games but if it has no context for them it's then just random rubbish cluttering up the screen. Besides Nintendo were hands on with the film so it's not like the Minion guys were deciding the lore of Mario now.
I did find it funny people were saying because Nintendo are producing the film it will be good when most people keep talking about how meddling producers who don't understand movies are the ones to ruin them.
@Rambler Judging that info with the trailer that shows Luigi is the one who was capture therefore he's the one being forced to marry Bowser really makes me really want to see it now!
