Will The Garfield Movie Repeat The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s Success?
The Two Animated Chris Pratt Movies Have Elements In Common
Before he voice Garfield the cat , Pratt voiced iconic video game character Mario in Illumination and Nintendo ’s hitSuper Mario Bros.adaptation . The Super Mario Bros. Movie ’s reviewswere less than starring from critic , but the film was a massive bang with audiences , and it became one of the biggest loge office smash of 2023 , earning $ 1.361 billion . The video game adaptation did this with a lousy 59 % score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics .
To be clear , The Garfield Moviewill almost certainly not be reaching this same tier of success . Garfield just does n’t have the same global ethnical reach as theSuper Mario Bros. enfranchisement , butit could still terminate up defying the poor revaluation and following a similar flight . Both pic , after all , sport standardised tones and invigoration trend , and both feature Pratt voice a beloved lead fictional character . Both films also have impressive supporting vocalisation talents and even standardised title bodily structure .
The Garfield Movie ’s reviewsvary , but vernacular points include claims that the film misunderstands its master fibre and that it ultimately feels by - the - numbers and lacking in surprisal and creativity . The Super Mario Bros. Moviewas similarly criticized for playing it safe with its storytelling and rather banking on nostalgia . It continue to be seen howThe Garfield Movieultimately fares with audiences , but there ’s reason to believe a electronegative Rotten Tomatoes grade from critics wo n’t be much of a handicap .
