Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto has officially shared his thoughts on the recent critical backlash surrounding The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. As Miyamoto reacts to Super Mario Galaxy Movie reviews, he expressed deep confusion regarding the negative reception, describing the critics' opinions as "trashing" and "truly baffling."
A Harsher Reception Than 2023's Success
According to a translation provided by Nintendo Patents Watch, Miyamoto spoke with NDW about the discrepancy in critic scores between recent releases. He noted that reviewers were actually "even harsher" on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie than they were for the massive success of 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
During the discussion, the creator laughed at the situation, calling the trend "rather odd." He highlighted several key points regarding the current state of the film's reception:
- Critics provided harsher feedback than they did for the 2023 animated hit.
- The production team approached the project from a different medium.
- Miyamoto finds the negativity from industry champions to be unexpected.
Why Miyamoto Reacts to Super Mario Galaxy Movie Reviews with Confusion
The disconnect between Nintendo's intentions and the film critics' responses is clearly frustrating for the developer. As Miyamoto reacts to Super Mario Galaxy Movie reviews, he emphasized that the team's goal was to bring fresh energy to the cinematic space.
"We stepped in from another medium and did our best to help energize the film industry," Miyamoto stated. However, he remains perplexed by how the reaction unfolded. "And yet the very people who are supposed to champion the film industry are the ones being so negative; it's truly baffling," he concluded.
