The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Review

Joshua Hunter blasts off into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Illumination and Nintendo's follow-up to their 2023 blockbuster — and this time, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad head into space to rescue a kidnapped Rosalina from Bowser Jr. 2026's first billion-dollar movie and the year's biggest sequel debut, but critics weren't nearly as impressed, with plenty calling out a thin story buried under nonstop galaxy-hopping spectacle. Joshua digs into whether the film's visuals and new characters (hello, Donald Glover's Yoshi and Glen Powell's Fox McCloud) make up for a script that critics say coasts on fan service. 🍍 The Reel Pineapple is your one-stop shop for honest movie reviews, trailer breakdowns, and unfiltered film talk — no hype, no gatekeeping, just real takes from someone who actually loves this stuff. 📺 Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/thereelpineapple 🦋 Follow on BlueSky: reelpineapple.bsky.social 🎥 Follow on TikTok & Instagram: @jhunterreelpineapple 🎬 Follow on Letterboxd: BlackShazam 🎮 Catch me live on Twitch: twitch.tv/thereelpineapple ⭐ Love the show?
