We're halfway into 2023, but it's already been a great year at the movies. Film historians would be delighted to look back at some surprise box office hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, an adaptation of the seminal Fast & Furious movie, which brought in a brand new villain.
The superhero movie fatigue is finally hitting — about damn time — causing them to severely underperform in theatres, regardless of some being creative in their presentation. A lot of the big money-makers have already headed over to VOD and streaming services, but I wouldn't call them award contenders. Nevertheless, here's a list of 2023's major film releases that you can watch from the comfort of your home.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie 14t1e
Aside from the Jack Black).
Teaming up with Princess Peach (Keegan-Michael Key), Mario not only has to free his imprisoned brother, but is also dragged into a world-saving mission, as the evil turtle threatens to destroy it all. As mentioned before, fan service is in full force here, as our heroes race along the sparkling Rainbow Road, get slapped around by the goofy Donkey Kong on Monkey Island, and we even get to see the shapeshifting Tanooki outfit. Oh, and there's also a beautiful musical piece from Bowser — a piano ballad — which he dedicates to Peach, as an expression of love. You can tell the voice actor Black was having way too much fun with the overly playful yodelling and all.

The notion of romance in Quill's life is also rekindled when he encounters the alternate version of Gamora — introduced in Avengers: Endgame — leading to some funny exchanges between the two. MCU flick, isn't as big of a commercial failure as the next name on this list.
