The VG Resource

I figured I'd make a new topic since the movie is out.
I just got back from a midnight show. It was fantastic. It didn't really cater to gamers. There were a lot on in-jokes, but none that would ruin the movie if you don't know the culture well.
Overall, it was a really clever movie. Lots of heart. I can't wait to see it again. Click spoilers for some references.

Spoiler

Will avoid this topic like the plague. Film doesn't come out until fucking FEBRUARY next year in the UK. It's ridiculous.

Welp, it's their loss. I was gonna go watch this at the cinema with my girlfriend, and probably buy it on DVD later if it was decent, but now the only option they've left me with to see if before February is to torrent it. GG Disney.

Aww, that sucks, guys. It's really worth checking out. Especially for people like us. It's my favorite animated movie since Rango last year.

Going to try and convince some of my roommates to go see the movie with me. Been looking forward to seeing this movie for a while now. Tongue

Going to go see it later with a friend! He's got a couple passes so we don't have to pay for tickets.

Going to see it tomorrow. We tried getting tickets to see it today but alas.

saw it today

could have made better use of video game licenses but still good

I also saw it today, I would definitely recommend it to everyone else as well.

Disagree. That's like watching Roger Rabbit and wanting more Mickey and Bugs. They were in there to help create the world as background elements. It builds on them.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I think it actually helps that they didn't focus too much on pre-existing characters for the story and everything, but still added plenty of jokes and charm for people who "get it".

I really loved this movie though, I would absolutely recommend everyone here check it out when they can.

I've been following this movie once more info came along. Here, in Australia. For once, we get a Disney film not in January. It comes out in Boxing Day, instead.
Shame they couldn't get Mario and Luigi to appear in it, as Nintendo was asking for a huge fee. Greedy bastards.

I also wonder how it will do in the Box Office. There's Rise of the Guardians, in certain countries, on the same month. Plus The Hobbit is not far away.
But this is the holiday movie i'm looking forward to.

There has to be some Mario influence here

Unfortunately, that isn't Mario.

He is the Barkeep from the arcade game Tapper, and later Root Beer Tapper.

That would be one of my old favorites. Glad to see he found a way into the movie.
