i went and saw this movie with my family, all of us having different interests, ages, etc. we all enjoyed it! the movie really stuck to what it should be, the mario universe and references. the pace was great, the had a few things going on and never really dove too in into anything which personally i liked. i wanted the movie to be fun, and it was. i think some of the negative reviews will be coming from people who were hoping for some deep plot or huge character development, but it’s based off a videogame. personally i think this movie was everything it should be, so if you’re wondering if it’s worth the watch i’d say do it. it’s not groundbreaking but it’s a great movie with lots of fun music and scenes, and lots of great references to the game!
