   @tfb Makes a certain amount of sense. The original language version picked poster names that can sell 400 MUSD of seats in the first week. A dub can pick the best voices for the job.

     @clacke The voice actors we got are really good, and feel right for the characters

     @clacke From the clips I've seen, I have no interest in hearing the original; the French dub seems significantly better

     The internet is complaining that Chris Pratt sucks at voice acting. He doesn't.

     An experienced voice actor could have been better but sadly that's not how big buck movies work. You need that big ticket name and again sadly we're not at a moment where voice actors are that.

     The "actual Mario" voice cameo as his dad was a nice nod.

     We went to see the #SuperMarioBrosMovie and obviously given the constraints it had no chance of being a cinematic masterpiece, but given those constraints, seriously, it has no business being as good as it is.

     There's an actual story that mostly works, voice acting and animation is flawless, there is character development, the references are fun but mostly not actually on the nose and the score is absolutely brilliant.

     Watch it with a person too young to have seen even a Wee in real life, but who has caught up through hours and hours of YouTube, and you'll be constantly be jabbed in the side by someone going "that's the suit and the flowers Bowser had at the end of Odyssey!", "that's a Mario 64 reference!", etc. =)
