Quite frankly I understand this is not a movie that will be universally adored. This is a medium for fan service.

If you haven't played and loved at least a few mario and donkey kong games this movie will probably still be a fine, if unexciting movie. The action is swift, the attitudes are upbeat and if you like imagination this movie has distilled the creativity of decades of games into a single experience. If the only reason you are watching this is because you went with someone else you can still enjoy the movie. For the non-video game fans I would put the movie at a 7, well made and does nothing badly but certainly not a timeless masterpiece.

If you are or ever have been a fan of mario in all his iterations and also the Donkey Kong franchise this movie is wonderful, the references to game after game just add to the joy in this movie, this is an origin story for mario that is told well and makes about as much sense as you can hope for. There are power ups and enough game like visuals to make this a treat to watch. Depending on who you are the nintendo fan service ups the value of this movie by 1-3 points, for me this is a 9/10 and I hope a sequel will be made.
