Having just came from the movie, and going in with terribly low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. Peach didn't do anything she doesn't do in the games, got strong armed into marrying Bowser, and even when she made a play to escape it wouldn't have worked without Mario and DK there to save everyone.
It was annoying that Luigi got shoehorned into the damsel role, but he got to shine in the end, and Peach was sweet and nice and nurturing, like she's supposed to be. Even when she tried to be badass with the infamous halberd trailer shot, she drops it immediately when Kamek threatens Toad. Because her being badass isn't as important as her protecting her people.

Sounds like the marketers tried to present it as woker than it actually is.
