The Super Mario Galaxy Movie 2026

I mentioned this in my review for the first Super Mario Bros Movie just a few days ago but this was my first theater trip since having a date night with my wife to see the Naked Gun back in August. This time around I took my older daughter to this movie as she’s a big Mario and specifically Rosalina fan so we had to go see this one together. We waited a week because it was tracking to be a pretty huge opening weekend and I prefer a less crowded theater so we waited until its second weekend and went to a fairly early Sunday showing where there were only about 3 other families in the theater (although the one with the youngest kids initially sat a few rows in front of us until someone pointed out that they weren’t in their correct assigned seating so they moved a couple rows behind us, but about 4 different times in the next 30 minutes, the dad went back to the row they were sitting at with his phone as a flashlight trying to find something or other on the floor). The movie itself was mostly more of the same, but with much less direction and way more and more varied fanservice than the last movie including much that was completely lost on me as I’ve never played Galaxy or much of any Mario game past the SNES. It was still a fun diversion but not likely something that I could see myself coming back to time and time again. And since this is still a new movie, here is your spoiler warning from here on out.
