Only issue is Pratts voice. Looks good apart from that.

Maybe it will turn out to be another audience / critic split. Critic score is 55%.Audience score is sitting at 96% on RT
Critics won't like this because there's no diversity message, it's just a fun animated movie. My son and his mates are off to see it tomorrow.
Ohhhh. Myyy. God.
Why are you bringing this up in a super mario brothers film thread?! Please, let the forum breathe.
Of course there is. There are a load of American guys doing the voices of Italian characters. You can be anything you want to be.

Saw it today, I thought it was very good and the animation is superb. Lots of nods to the games.
Interested in this.
Used to get my dad to wake me early before school so I could watch the cartoon on GMTV.
Is that hard to understand?
There’s complete outrage going on and boycott’s called because Prat and there is no Latino actors.
Last part I don’t understand? Italians are classified as Latinos? Is it because they speak some form of latin?
Latin used to be taught over here in all the posh school 20 years ago. So does that mean the redhead Irish/British toff up the road from me can call himself Latino?

He’s explaining the poor critic score.

The critical reviews consistently describe the movie as being bland and wafer-thin in depth. Saying the poor reviews are because ‘a lack of diversity in casting’ is utter twaddle.
Go and read them.
I have no doubt that some people may be vocal about such matters, but that’s not come up in any of the reviews I have read (Times, Guardian, Empire, Vulture, RobertEgbert.com … and dozens of others - having just taken the time to verify this myself).
You should not conflate fringe internet activity with what are the clear principal reasons that critics don’t like this movie.
So when you say “Is it that hard to understand?” - yes, it is, because it doesn’t make any sense to say ‘critics didn’t like it because of the lack of diversity’ for the reasons I have mention.
…
It looks like Italians used to be referred to as Latinos (https://diversityjournal.com/9724-h...o refers to France,to the former Roman Empire.) but these days Latinos most refer to the Latin Americas - most of the south American continent.
I found something similar but it was more about the language they spoke lol. hence the quote
