    I don't have an opinion about on the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, since I haven't watched it yet (and it hasn't been released in my country yet, lol), but I fully agree with the message. Movie critics are often some of the most scornful people on this planet. You are better off checking the (normal) audience reviews.

    Didn't super enjoy the movie, and I didn't enjoy the first one either. I understand why critics hate it. It's all visuals and no storytelling. Peach's angsty girlboss portrayal is a complete character assassination and unbearable... Final battle is an underwhelming one shot wonder in 10 seconds... Lightning speed pacing... Lack of character developments... Yeah, it's easy to see hwy critics hate it...

    I watched it. I believe its a six or seven out of ten. Its fun and it has good moments, however as a movie its just an hour and a half of good animation, jokes meant for children, others not so much, a few "eh i know those!" and that's pretty much it.

    At the end of the movie, when Bowser helps his kid, I thought he might turn out to be good, and nothing happens. He goes back to being Bowser, so I don't understand the previous "i might turn good guys" hint when he feels bad for almost killing Mario and the others.

    I saw it as Bowser Jr. successfully (and unknowingly because Bowser did his best to hide his changing morality) making his father relapse despite the latter’s honest intentions to try and change. Even as early as the mini scenes, it was obvious that he was still a work in progress. And thinking Bowser has died (I already knew immediately he wasn’t because A) Dry Bowser and B) when has lava EVER killed Bowser?) and seeing Jr’s reaction is what probably inspired Mario to save Jr from the Lord of Lightning creation that went haywire.

    I personally think that the movie is no higher than an 8 (might change next month when I plan to rewatch it), but fully acknowledge that certain scenes and story beats could’ve been left to simmer a bit more.
