Have you ever watched a bad movie but loved every second of it? Super Mario Galaxy is the first movie that I’ve ever reviewed that has put me in such a predicament. When leaving the theater, I was so high on life, ready to crown this movie of the year based on vibes alone. And when I say vibes, I mean Illumination is a cheat code. Best thing since sliced bread, aka Pixar. Everything they produce, whether big or small, looks immaculate. So you already have me hooked on the eye candy alone. But then you combine it with a mega-legacy IP like Super Mario Bros., and it’s game over. Personally, I don’t have the same level of nostalgia for the IP. As others, but this sequel was an instant must-watch for me after they announced it was coming out. So, needless to say, I was excited to see the Super Mario Galaxy movie. And I was just as excited fresh out of the theater.
