However, starting July 11th, individuals will also have the option to rent the film on services like Apple TV and Amazon Video. It was briefly available for viewing on Twitter as well. For those who are inclined towards streaming services or already have numerous subscriptions, the movie will be released on Peacock on August 3rd.
Despite some early mixed reviews, most fans seemed to like it overall. Super Mario Bros. -film even broke box office records. When we watched the movie, our reviewer Devindra Hardwar thought it was great for all ages with endless references that wouldn’t take you out of the movie if you weren’t a die-hard Nintendo fan. Its A-list cast includes Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad and Chris Pratt as the lovable Mario. The film follows the Mario Bros. as they struggle to get their Brooklyn plumbing business off the ground. Somehow, someway (you’ll have to watch the movie to find out) the duo end up in the Mushroom Kingdom and end up fighting for it with the one and only Bowser.
Super Mario Bros. The success of Movie is hopefully a precedent for new Nintendo movies. Nintendo has long been rumored to be working on a Legend of Zelda movie or TV series, and Mario’s success might give them a reason to finally do it.
