At least it isn't some raspy halsey-clone slowly breathing out the lyrics of a bouncy 80s pop song in a way that makes them sound dark and terrifying? That's progress, right? I mean sure the Mario theme has no lyrics but Van Halen's Jump could have worked.
Movie trailers and movie posters are almost entirely controlled by marketing departments now. They're not exactly known for being original or forward thinking. Stick to what works and reduce the budget by reusing the same editing tricks you've done a million times.
Worse still is that they're using a level theme as an entire movie theme. It was intended as continuous background music for the overworld, not a title theme. I don't think it translates well at all and sounds really goofy with the Hollywood treatment.
Thank God other people noticed. I've seen people start praising his voice acting but every single line he has is delivered with zero energy. His character's riding a go-kart on a damn rainbow and his "Wahoo" sounded like it came from an angsty teenager who's pissed that he had to go hang out with his family.
Charlie Day for Luigi literally sounds like his normal voice. I keep picturing Charlie from Always Sunny when he speaks. He sounds equally out of place. The fact that people keep giving Mario/Pratt a hard time and a pass for Luigi/Day is mind blowing. All the criticism to Pratt, should be given to Day as well. They are fraternal twin brothers, who sound nothing alike as brothers, let alone a Brooklyn Italian accent.
Ugh... just cast Danny Devito as Mario, Kaitlin Olson as peach, and turn this into an always sunny dream sequence. I'm sure we can fit Dennis and Mac in somewhere.
Honestly i like all the voices. Nothing seems too over the top or grating. Maybe a little underwhelming at worst, but there's still good delivery in some parts.
I reallyyyyyyyy hate the voices. Why wouldn't they use voice actors from the games?? its honestly kinda discusting to me, Hollywood's got no place in fucking video game movies and it kinda ruins it. I've played so many Nintendo games for years and I was cringing watching it. feels so wrong eww
That's what I'm getting. The plot: "Unlikely hero gets dumped into chaotic situation, messes up and doesn't know WTF he's doing. Then near the end, everything clicks and he becomes the hero he was destined to be." Bonus will be if Bowser starts off as a villain, then experiences regret and tried to undo the damage he's done.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw that, or how they seem to be incorporating 40 years worth of Mario brothers games into the same movie! 2D side scrolling, galaxy’s, Mario Kart, I don’t even care about the voice acting, I’m gonna ride this nostalgia wave wherever it takes me.
doesnt matter how many times i watch this, the voice still sounds like this is some fake redub made by some random youtuber. I cant believe this is the actual voice they went with.
Do you really think so? From my dutch perspective it doesn't really 'vibe' any differently than Pratt's attempt. I'm not hearing any italian undertones in that japanse. But then again, I don't speak japanese.
Eh, maybe I’m the minority but the character designs are really off-putting to me. Peach in particular looks like a completely different person cosplaying as the character.
So it kind of felt like they are trying to hide Mario's voice now? Every other character seems to have gotten a lot of voice time or got to say a full sentence but Mario is 90% game quotes and like 1 line in that trailer otherwise he is screaming. Aside for my dislike of Chris Pratt's voice acting here more importantly I really really hope that his lines just spoil too much to be in the trailer and he isn't going to be just doing game quotes most of the movie. The visuals are gorgeous though and I'm looking forward to seeing this.
This movie looks so fun! I’m really digging how deep they’re going with the references, too. I still think Chris Pratt is giving the weakest performance out of the cast we’ve seen, but everyone else sounds awesome. Can’t wait for this!
It certainly looks fun and worth a watch, my only issue is that I don't want it to just be a series of "Hey remember this! and look it's that guy from the thing! also look he's doing that other thing wink wink!"
Chris seems to be performing a neutral character that understates the stereotypes. It may not match all of our head cannon on how we imagine Mario speaking. But since it's neutral and understated it also doesn't strongly contradict expectations. It's much better to be weak and natural than it is to potentially be overbearing and wrong. For this reason I think Chris Pratt is a pretty safe choice. If they had someone else do a heavy Italian accent like I imagine Mario, I can see that being very easy to mess up.
Because dumb parents care more about whose doing the voices than just watching the movie. It's like it's the only way they can bear sitting through an animated film. My dad did it all the time "Oh that's such and such doing the turtle's voice" - man I do not care.
That’s because his voice kinda fits the character and he is doing a good job voice acting. Chris Pratt is just doing a horrible job voicing in this role. Go to 1:13 where Mario gets hit by a bullet bill. His “scream” was so weak compared to Mario’s expression
Man, everyone is talking about the voices, i think it looks great and is gonna be an awesome movie, this mario movie is decent for children these days, back when i was a kid, a mario movie were two adults dressed up as italian plumbers.
I can look past Chris Pratt's voice as Mario. I dont want to focus on just one part of the movie I think isn't optimized. Reference to Smash and Mario Kart already has me super excited for this movie.
I figured that was more of a donkey Kong reference. If you look as it circles into the scene it sort of looks like they are on top of red construction beams
I really hope it's a case of a misleading trailer. The Paper Mario games set a pretty good precedent for Peach doing spying and information gathering behind enemy lines while captured, letting her be proactive without overturning her character or story role. She could also be shown doing diplomatic and political work before being captured. They should have gone with that instead of "every female lead must be turned into an action hero fighter so as to not be seen as weak and useless" syndrome...
I like the voices. This is better for a 90-120 minute film than having the video game voices. Pratt is fine, Charlie Day sounds awesome and I don’t care that he sounds like himself. Jack Black is great. Anya Taylor Joy is fine. It’s going to be okay, guys.
Question: Why is Peach being portrayed as the strong female leader, taking up arms to battle Bowser, when in the games she is consistently the damsel in distress who NEVER attempts to defend herself?
I dunno…maybe it’s just me but nothing besides bowser looks good here…Mario is a helpless turd that super deep voice peach has to teach how to be a hero? Come on…
Yea, that just makes no sense to me. Mario is the dude that trekked across worlds, nations, and planets to save lives, and here he is depicted as a clumsy oaf? Why?
Every adult here is bitching and moaning about the voices, meanwhile my 8-year old and 5-year-old have been watching this trailer on repeat and keep asking when we’ll be able to buy our tickets.
Mario isn’t even the “worst” voice actor in this trailer. Everyone’s either playing it super safe, or is Bowser. Which is what everyone should have expected from an animated Mario movie filled with Actors, not voice actors.
The voices are so bad. Hearing a normal voice saying "lets a go" is really strange. And his little half ass mario like "wahoo" doesn't fit. If you are going to do mario, do mario. If you aren't going to do mario then commit to some other sound. Don't slide back and forth. I understand having to tone it down a bit. But it can still be very mario like.
I know everyone keeps saying but I’ll never get over how awful Chris Pratt was as a choice for Mario and every trailer just cements that fact. Charlie Day, Jack Black, and Anya sound great, the toads are fine, the animation looks cute, seems like a generic but cute “Mario has to become the hero through montage and training” kind of movie, but man does Pratt make me not want to watch in the least
Jesus Christ, what a waste. Superb animation quality, the team put their sweat and tears to make it look good, but the jokes, voice acting and character design are really cliché in a bad way. It's not that a kid's movie should be Casablanca, but this looks really low brow like a bad SNL skit. Disappointed, but more power to those who enjoy it.
I can't believe we're still doing the quiet-piano-rendition-of-a-famous-theme-in-a-movie-trailer thing.
There was that period in the 2000s where EVERY movie trailer used the Requiem for a Dream song. It was equally annoying.
Have you ever wondered about this particular thing?
At least it isn't some raspy halsey-clone slowly breathing out the lyrics of a bouncy 80s pop song in a way that makes them sound dark and terrifying? That's progress, right? I mean sure the Mario theme has no lyrics but Van Halen's Jump could have worked.
Movie trailers and movie posters are almost entirely controlled by marketing departments now. They're not exactly known for being original or forward thinking. Stick to what works and reduce the budget by reusing the same editing tricks you've done a million times.
BUMM BUMM BUMMM RAAAAAAAAAAAA BUMMMM BUM BUM BUM RAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Also the Bwaaaams. Ever since Inception.
Yeah but The Force Awakens trailer still gives me chills..
They do it because we like it
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Because it works. And it works really well here. Its the theme song after all.
I can’t believe we’re still using something that works very well and helps bring people to the movie.
Worse still is that they're using a level theme as an entire movie theme. It was intended as continuous background music for the overworld, not a title theme. I don't think it translates well at all and sounds really goofy with the Hollywood treatment.
It does get on my nerves, but it seems to work for some people. I roll my eyes at it but it's not worth getting annoyed over.
TANOOKI
I'm not quite sure Chris Pratt's voice acting matches the intensity of Mario's expressions in this trailer.
Thank God other people noticed. I've seen people start praising his voice acting but every single line he has is delivered with zero energy. His character's riding a go-kart on a damn rainbow and his "Wahoo" sounded like it came from an angsty teenager who's pissed that he had to go hang out with his family.
He's really bad. That was the saddest wahoo at the end
Peach with the vocal fry. Weird.
people have been focused on chris pratt being a miscast, but anya taylor joy feels so far out of place in this
Right? If there's one word that describes were voice, it's squeaky. Not "3 packs a day".
Right! Sounds off.
Plus they made her a warrior, totally off character.
I noticed that, might as well have been Aubrey Plaza. 🤷♂️
It's different, but I'm surprised I like it. Feels fitting, unlike Mario
[удалено]
he's so funny
Honestly every voice sounds pretty good except Mario and Peach. It literally just sounds like Chris Pratt and Anya Taylor-Joy reading lines.
Danny Devito should have been the voice of Mario.
Honestly I prefer French version. It sounds more cartoonish.
Charlie Day for Luigi literally sounds like his normal voice. I keep picturing Charlie from Always Sunny when he speaks. He sounds equally out of place. The fact that people keep giving Mario/Pratt a hard time and a pass for Luigi/Day is mind blowing. All the criticism to Pratt, should be given to Day as well. They are fraternal twin brothers, who sound nothing alike as brothers, let alone a Brooklyn Italian accent.
Chris Pratts going to ruin this movie
I think he sounds fine. Especially when he does the typical Mario lines.
Ugh... just cast Danny Devito as Mario, Kaitlin Olson as peach, and turn this into an always sunny dream sequence. I'm sure we can fit Dennis and Mac in somewhere.
Dennis could be some psycho Bowser and Mac his side lackey. A Mr. Burns/Smithers relationship lmao.
It’s been done
Toad and Bowser. Obviously. I don't even know which would be which it'd be great either way.
It visually looks better than I expected but man, the voices are just so off.
I like the toad voices and maybe Luigi's. The toads sound just like they do in Mario Kart and I like that. Jack Black's going to carry the film.
Seemingly unpopular opinion: Peach is waay more jarring than Mario.
Exactly how I feel. I wish they just brought in people who worked in the role and not famous people voice acting. It feels lifeless except for Black.
The last two mario-isms starting at 1min50s were actually pretty good
Yeah, the actual content of the movie seems pretty solid, it's the voice acting that is painful.
Honestly i like all the voices. Nothing seems too over the top or grating. Maybe a little underwhelming at worst, but there's still good delivery in some parts.
I absolutely hate everyone's generic American voices, where is the Italian accent? Kills it for me
I reallyyyyyyyy hate the voices. Why wouldn't they use voice actors from the games?? its honestly kinda discusting to me, Hollywood's got no place in fucking video game movies and it kinda ruins it. I've played so many Nintendo games for years and I was cringing watching it. feels so wrong eww
I like getting outside
I like charlie day as luigi.
I hate it. Bring back voice actors, not celebrities.
So it’s the Lego movies treatment to Mario?
That's what I'm getting. The plot: "Unlikely hero gets dumped into chaotic situation, messes up and doesn't know WTF he's doing. Then near the end, everything clicks and he becomes the hero he was destined to be." Bonus will be if Bowser starts off as a villain, then experiences regret and tried to undo the damage he's done.
They got frickin rainbow road in this??
It's where you go when you die.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw that, or how they seem to be incorporating 40 years worth of Mario brothers games into the same movie! 2D side scrolling, galaxy’s, Mario Kart, I don’t even care about the voice acting, I’m gonna ride this nostalgia wave wherever it takes me.
Looks like they fixed Mario’s
What was the original?
Son of a… koopa
That is some
It’s so much better now it’s ridiculous they thought that original look was okay.
Sorry… none of the voices sound right.
Bowser is pretty good
They really focused on putting in parts that hides the fact that mario is chris pratt
doesnt matter how many times i watch this, the voice still sounds like this is some fake redub made by some random youtuber. I cant believe this is the actual voice they went with.
I'd be okay if prozd voiced every character in it.
What's crazy is he said he was gonna do something different to sound unique. He didn't.
It does feel like a fan dub, it doesn't feel cohesive at all.
All the voices are bad... Mario's is just the most offensive.
What if the movie isn't for you?
I would prefer Mario be voiced by Jordan Schlansky at this point.
Yawn
Yo that music sucks just play the normal theme not everything needs to by Hans Zimmer
More insane tribal drumming than an Avatar trailer.
This is not his Tempo though. And, the normal theme wouldn’t match the pacing. So what you actually mean is. “REDO the trailer”
But the voices... OH GOSH!
This movie is ripe for a community made, alternative voice dub
no need. There's a Japanese version with all Japanese VAs.
The Japanese dub sounds great at least
Wow hearing the Japanese dub really makes the English dub sound awful by comparison. Especially that "Wahoo" at the end.
Catch me watching it with English subtitles as lord Mario intended
[удалено]
so far the French one seems good too!
Do you really think so? From my dutch perspective it doesn't really 'vibe' any differently than Pratt's attempt. I'm not hearing any italian undertones in that japanse. But then again, I don't speak japanese.
That high pitched shrieking voice that every Japanese movie has for the women is like nails on a chalkboard.
As a 80s kid I can't decide if this is the worst or best thing to ever happen.
is chris pratt even trying here?
You can really tell Pratt phoned this one in, possibly literally.
Everything about this LOOKS amazing.
Eh, maybe I’m the minority but the character designs are really off-putting to me. Peach in particular looks like a completely different person cosplaying as the character.
It looks good but the voices kinda feel placeholder
So it kind of felt like they are trying to hide Mario's voice now? Every other character seems to have gotten a lot of voice time or got to say a full sentence but Mario is 90% game quotes and like 1 line in that trailer otherwise he is screaming. Aside for my dislike of Chris Pratt's voice acting here more importantly I really really hope that his lines just spoil too much to be in the trailer and he isn't going to be just doing game quotes most of the movie. The visuals are gorgeous though and I'm looking forward to seeing this.
Honestly the movie would be great if Mario was a silent protagonist who only occasionally made gibberish sounds and game quotes, like in
Meh
The voices are so bad, reminds me of early 2000s anime dubs
i'll wait for the inevitable crowdfunded deep nn version with charles martinet's voice
this entire movie is sonic's human teeth
This movie looks so fun! I’m really digging how deep they’re going with the references, too. I still think Chris Pratt is giving the weakest performance out of the cast we’ve seen, but everyone else sounds awesome. Can’t wait for this!
I actually thought Joy as Peach is worse than Pratt. Pratt seems fine but Joy just doesn't even remotely sound like Peach at all.
It certainly looks fun and worth a watch, my only issue is that I don't want it to just be a series of "Hey remember this! and look it's that guy from the thing! also look he's doing that other thing wink wink!"
Chris seems to be performing a neutral character that understates the stereotypes. It may not match all of our head cannon on how we imagine Mario speaking. But since it's neutral and understated it also doesn't strongly contradict expectations. It's much better to be weak and natural than it is to potentially be overbearing and wrong. For this reason I think Chris Pratt is a pretty safe choice. If they had someone else do a heavy Italian accent like I imagine Mario, I can see that being very easy to mess up.
It's looks cute and simple and fun. The hype is going to create huge backlash because it won't be everything to everyone.
The only thing worst than Mario’s voice is Peach’s voice.
woof
Jack Black's voice for Bowser reminds me of Negaduck in the Darkwing Duck/Ducktales.
The real
That is Disney (plus other stuff) legend Tim Cummings.
Eh. Still better than the original movie and most other video game adaptations. If I was a kid again, I would LOVE THIS
How DARE you. The live action movie was amazing.
Imagine how many people grew up with Mario and now have kids of their own, who will watch and enjoy this movie...
lol no
"comments are turned off" shocker.
Isn’t that a requirement on YouTube now for all childrens’ videos?
why do they keep using known screen actors instead of good voice actors. This is jsut fucking awful.
Because dumb parents care more about whose doing the voices than just watching the movie. It's like it's the only way they can bear sitting through an animated film. My dad did it all the time "Oh that's such and such doing the turtle's voice" - man I do not care.
The VA is awful. You don’t need famous ppl for this to sell. Stupid studio fucks. It’s not Lego movie.
Haven't seen anyone complain that charlie day is just doing his normal voice 🤷♀️
That’s because his voice kinda fits the character and he is doing a good job voice acting. Chris Pratt is just doing a horrible job voicing in this role. Go to 1:13 where Mario gets hit by a bullet bill. His “scream” was so weak compared to Mario’s expression
Man, everyone is talking about the voices, i think it looks great and is gonna be an awesome movie, this mario movie is decent for children these days, back when i was a kid, a mario movie were two adults dressed up as italian plumbers.
I know its just Chris Pratts voice but Im still excited to bring my kids to see it.
The whole trailer is chris pratt making weird sounds
Voice actors should do this, not celebrities.
I'll wait till a fan re-dubs this with Marios correct voice
ITs like right when you think it cant get any more generic... its up to him to save the multiverse....
Pitch adjust Bowser down an octave, Peach up 3 octaves and everyone else up 2 and I think I might go see this movie.
Surprised by how much I enjoyed this trailer actually.
Can’t they just… stop silencing the music every time there’s supposed to be a joke?
Trailer looks good surprisingly. I’ll go see it.
Girl Boss Peach.
I can look past Chris Pratt's voice as Mario. I dont want to focus on just one part of the movie I think isn't optimized. Reference to Smash and Mario Kart already has me super excited for this movie.
I figured that was more of a donkey Kong reference. If you look as it circles into the scene it sort of looks like they are on top of red construction beams
They made Mario DUMB.
Are they really going to have Luigi be kidnapped instead of Peach?
I really hope it's a case of a misleading trailer. The Paper Mario games set a pretty good precedent for Peach doing spying and information gathering behind enemy lines while captured, letting her be proactive without overturning her character or story role. She could also be shown doing diplomatic and political work before being captured. They should have gone with that instead of "every female lead must be turned into an action hero fighter so as to not be seen as weak and useless" syndrome...
Save the princess in 2022 is not only going to stir up a Twitter shitstorm and garner a ton of negative reviews, it's honestly kind of tired by now.
Mario is still the largest problem and his lines sound more forced then the last
I like the voices. This is better for a 90-120 minute film than having the video game voices. Pratt is fine, Charlie Day sounds awesome and I don’t care that he sounds like himself. Jack Black is great. Anya Taylor Joy is fine. It’s going to be okay, guys.
That was the most fanservicey fan service I've seen in a while
Ooo, Love the Luigi torture scene Nintendo.
Jack Black is going to carry the movie
They made Mario a clumsy little bitch
Ofc, he has to be rescued by the strong, independant female lead.
Yeah, he totally hasn’t been represented as clumsy before…
I cannot get over Chris Pratt as Mario. It’s just so bad. Otherwise, the movie looks super fun
Honestly as a 36 year old man- I am totally into this.
I'm 41 or 42, you start to forget. Anyway, as someone who's only played Mario games before he had an official voice, I'm all for this.
#NotMyMario
I mean to bring him back, hes sorta going to be a bit of a zombie.
I'm not surprised they turned off comments on that video
It's on YouTube Kids which has no comments sections.
Question: Why is Peach being portrayed as the strong female leader, taking up arms to battle Bowser, when in the games she is consistently the damsel in distress who NEVER attempts to defend herself?
Never played Mario 2 then?
Because times move on and 80’s sensibilities do not resonate with a modern audience.
I dunno…maybe it’s just me but nothing besides bowser looks good here…Mario is a helpless turd that super deep voice peach has to teach how to be a hero? Come on…
Yea, that just makes no sense to me. Mario is the dude that trekked across worlds, nations, and planets to save lives, and here he is depicted as a clumsy oaf? Why?
It's just pratts voice. It's just not great
Mario doesn’t sound right.
the more i see....and hear....of this, the more i dont want it to exist.
60% of that trailer was just drums.
Time for an overreaction to the trailer that probably is not indicative of the entire film.
I fucking hate it. Cringed hard multiple times. Nothing is sacred.
No.
This looks amazing. Shame Chris didn’t try at all, but I’m stoked to show it to my 3 and 4 year olds.
Hey remember when everyone was raging over the one line of dialogue Mario had in the last trailer because he didn’t sound Mario enough?
Every adult here is bitching and moaning about the voices, meanwhile my 8-year old and 5-year-old have been watching this trailer on repeat and keep asking when we’ll be able to buy our tickets.
This movie is going to suck.
So this movie is actually by Nintendo? That’s cool. Probably why it’s so spot on.
Mario isn’t even the “worst” voice actor in this trailer. Everyone’s either playing it super safe, or is Bowser. Which is what everyone should have expected from an animated Mario movie filled with Actors, not voice actors.
Chris Pratt can fuck off
That's kinda harsh. Sometimes you get the part you apply for even if you're not the best choice
If it was Donald Glover playing Mario as his character from Atlanta you'd be clapping
This looks terrible. Are they just gonna have Mario jump in random platforms because "game"? lol
So he's a clumsy bafoon?
I bet this'll be a whole lot better if you watch the Japanese dub with English subtitles.
Could that music be ANY GODDAM LOUDER?! Holy shit. I get you want to be "epic" and all, but it's like three times louder than the voices.
Oh look another IP where the strong male hero is made to be an idiot and the princess goes gurl power "slay queeeeen" to save the day.
DAMN this one was hard to watch. Very cliche.
Where Italian accent
So bad. Nice animation though.
Peach looks like shit and Mario sounds like shit
The comments in this thread are so much more honest than when this was posted in
The voices are so bad. Hearing a normal voice saying "lets a go" is really strange. And his little half ass mario like "wahoo" doesn't fit. If you are going to do mario, do mario. If you aren't going to do mario then commit to some other sound. Don't slide back and forth. I understand having to tone it down a bit. But it can still be very mario like.
Talk about cramming 10lbs of shit into a 5lb bag.
You know there is backlash to pratts voice still when Illumination turned off their YouTube comments
Chris Pratt is the dumbest green screen actor next to Ben FuckFLEK. HE CANT EVEN DO AN ITALIAN ACCENT!
[удалено]
You mean Captain Lou Albano?
Love how they turned comments off... Like that is going to stop people commenting haha
Chris Pratt...
[удалено]
A woman doing stuff in a movie is woke?
I know everyone keeps saying but I’ll never get over how awful Chris Pratt was as a choice for Mario and every trailer just cements that fact. Charlie Day, Jack Black, and Anya sound great, the toads are fine, the animation looks cute, seems like a generic but cute “Mario has to become the hero through montage and training” kind of movie, but man does Pratt make me not want to watch in the least
Jesus Christ, what a waste. Superb animation quality, the team put their sweat and tears to make it look good, but the jokes, voice acting and character design are really cliché in a bad way. It's not that a kid's movie should be Casablanca, but this looks really low brow like a bad SNL skit. Disappointed, but more power to those who enjoy it.
