In case you missed it, in the last hour, Nintendo has finally slid the curtain back on the Super Mario Bros. Movie by releasing a teaser trailer that totaled 2:29 in length. This small glimpse has (predictably) caused an explosion of reactions on Twitter, where the movie has been hotly anticipated.
There has been much debate on the platform surrounding the direction the movie will take, which took a worrying turn when the movie's eclectic voice-acting cast was unveiled. Fans were concerned with how Jack Black might sound as Bowser. They wondered how his trademark sing-song voice might come across as the King of the Koopas -and WOW. As far as we can tell from the trailer, Jack will carry this film hard. Bowser is spot on what a lot of us had always imagined in our heads for the character.
Mario… Maybe not so much. After a stunning opening that shows Bowser laying siege to a Fortress, the trailer swaps to Mario, voiced by Chris Pratt (…he's so cool), bouncing out of a pipe. As Mario opens his mouth, it becomes abundantly clear that Chris has (yet again) smashed it out of the park by using nothing more than his normal-ass speaking voice.
Scroll through to see some of these early reactions. It will be interesting to see how the consensus develops over the coming days. I'm betting we see Jack Black's part being lauded and Chris's lambasted.
