Being the movie buff you are I thought you would have known he died a while back. He was a legend for sure.Ah - died 2014
This movie wasn't though lol
I blame my increasing years, harder to recall events

Yeah, I mean I understand people want to hear something close to the game voice but, for a 2hr "Film", thats going to become grating in a very short amount of time. So whilst I know Pratt will get grief from some right now, I really do think it's the better decision overall.

They should just let Jack Black do the voice of both Bowser and Mario. I bet his Mario would be amazing.

One of the first ever movies I watched in the Cinema I was 7 years old. My cousin bought the soundtrack tape and we listened to it for hours.
Loved it.

You clearly haven't played a lot of the recent Mario games...
I don’t remember him being overly comic in Odyssey but perhaps I’m mistaken!

Honestly that looks good! I have no problems with Chris as the voice actor. Be nice to have a decent animated Mario movie and it looks like they are embracing the source material from the actual games and not making their own twist on it.

I have such mixed feelings about the trailer:
The Good:
-It looks amazing, all the character designs and world look authentic to the games.
-Animated well.
-The world building and the suggestion that it'll lead into Mario Galaxy
The Bad:
-Mario's voice, it's like Pratt can't settle on what kind of voice he wants to give Mario and it almost seems to change every scene
-Bumbling, Mario isn't a bumbling goof. He was always brave and knew how to take on the world
-Princess Peach's voice, apparently she's a 20 a day girl now. She needs to lay off the cigarettes
-Girl power Peach, jesus, just lay off the cliches, now she's the same as every other girl in movies without a distinct personality. That isn't Princess Peach

Can't help but feel they deliberately had Mario say maybe one single line in that whole trailer on purpose. They surely know how polarizing the voice is.

I wonder after the outcry from the first trailer if they've got him back in to redo his lines.
I think it looks fun. No issues with Pratt. Illumination know how to do slapstick/comedy/animation etc. As below;
All I hear is Anya Taylor-Joy. Not ideal.
Even then, she sounds huskier than in other stuff I've seen her in.

I like it more after this trailer, I’m sure the kids will love it.
Will reserve judgement on the voice acting for later.
