Here is what bothers me about these freaking gamer/authentic/movie critics on this movie... People who think this movie is bad have too much time on their hands. We took our 6yr old daughter to see this, she loved it and so did my wife who is the biggest movie critic of all time. I wish yoshi was in it but oh well he wasn't. This is a kids movie that every adult from 35-50 can relate to. It's funny, the picture quality is awesome and the story is short and sweet. If you want an in-depth boring story that won't keep a 5-10yr old entertained...don't go see it. Quit being a prick gamer community! There will be a sequel so hope you all get passed about that also!
