Curious how it is, reviews seem all over the place. I've literally seen both 'the new gold standard for videogame movies' and also 'yet another bad game adaptation' so idk what to think

My vague impression of the collective opinion is that the movie is a pretty generic animated kids' movie sort of deal, but that it's full of references to the Mario series that actually respect the source material instead of blatantly ignoring it like so many video game movies do, so that's kind of refreshing. I'm guessing your opinion will depend on whether or not you enjoy that kind of fanservice enough to prop up a movie that's otherwise largely unremarkable.

Of course, the actual gold standard for video game movies is Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva, but that's not necessarily a fair comparison because those games' stories are extremely easy to turn into movies (by virtue of already just being movies, for the most part).
