IR Film Review: THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE [Nintendo/Universal]
After establishing the context of the Super Mario Brothers universe, the second entry in the franchise "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" is a lot more cohesive, effective and linear in what it shows since the boundaries (as they were) are now actually set. The progression and thematics are also more specifically based as is the tone. But the second entry, specifically with the story of Bowser and his son, gives it a little more grounded stakes. And yet the best parts of the movie are Yoshi and Star Fox.
