The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a 2023 animated film that Randy Charles Johnson reviewed on YouTube. His relationship to it is as a viewer and commentator: he watched it in a theater, recommended it, and later returned to it to point out one scene he thought was the movie's weak spot.
First Review
In his first video, Randy says he went to the theater, took a chance on the movie, and came away strongly positive. He says it is "not woke," calls it a "very good movie," says it has "plenty of action," and tells viewers they "won't be disappointed." He also says he thinks it is better than the earlier live-action Super Mario Bros. movie.
Later Critique
In a later video, Randy says he still thinks the animated film is "a very wonderful movie," but he identifies the opening Penguin sequence as the movie's one bad choice. His complaint is that the Penguins defend themselves with snowballs, which he thinks is implausible and poorly written.
