It seems like another victim of strong wahmen syndrome

I went into it with real low expectations, I’ll be honest. I was afraid that it was really going to be “Princess Peach: The Movie,” but I wouldn’t say it was to that point. The girl boss thing was a bit over the top, but not as bad as I feared it would be. The plot was a bit lacking, but honestly it’s Mario. Mario good, Bowser bad. Mario beat Bowser. They tried to cram too much in it, and character development suffered as a result. Visually it looked real good, lots of action, I thought it was fun. My 6 year old found a couple of the sequences a bit scary. Jack Black did a good job playing an unhinged Bowser. Chris Pratt wasn’t a great choice for Mario, but he didn’t do poorly. Seth Rogan was, as expected, an absolute shit show. He was far and away the worst part of the film. B-
Additionally, I don’t recall Peach ever condescending to Mario. I suspect that if Nintendo hadn’t had such a heavy hand on creative control it the girl power thing would’ve been much much worse.
They tried. Nintendo told them to fix the shit.
Sweet. Thank you for your review. I will see it then.
