I've come close to playing the entire Mario catalog in my time, one thing I was not expecting them to carry over from the source material was a puzzlingly bad storyline.
Others seemed to like it, but the references were nauseating to me - unashamedly shoehorned into every nook and cranny. I felt like it was trying (and failing) to toy with a ham-fisted nostalgia that completely missed the point of what makes Mario appealing.
And for a movie that tried so hard to inject elements of the games into every frame, there were far too many instances where there game logic was not followed. The two most prominent being: 1 - Mario breaking blocks by punching to the side or punching downwards - as opposed to breaking them from underneath or doing a ground pound. 2 - Princess Peach acted like Daisy, not Princess Peach.
I mean, people will no doubt love this movie. But think to yourself. Would you legitimately watch a sequel?
