The Super Mario Bros. Movie had its premiere over the weekend, and so far the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

In the words of KindaFunnyVids Tim Ghetty, the film was "awesome", with the creator stating the "music is the star of the show".

"Nintendo fans are gonna be obsessed. I'm not sure ANY movie in history has ever had THIS MANY easter eggs. AND GOOD ONES," he wrote (his use of capitals, not mine).

is NOT great. That being said it’s PERFECT. I haven’t felt like this for an animated movie since THE 2014 LEGO MOVIE . Stunning animation, and music by Brian Tyler. It’s gonna be BIG. Give me the Cinematic Universe! 10/10 pic.twitter.com/D6cqjLBOHJ

The Super Mario Bros. Movie stars Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Jack Black as Bowser and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad.

Many of the cast dressed in homages to their on-screen counterparts at the premiere, with Pratt and Day wearing red and green suits respectively.

Hats off to the one and only Jack Black, however.

Not content with cosplaying as his character on the Kelly Clarkson show earlier this year, Black also donned a spikey little number for the red carpet. Here is Black, and his suit, high-kicking his way along to the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser? More like "Wow-ser!", am I right?
