Moviegoers are saying
This Nintendo sequel divides audiences between nostalgic fans who adore the Easter eggs and character cameos versus critics who see it as a soulless collection of recognizable mascots. While praised for stunning Illumination animation and successful fan service, many reviewers describe it as prioritizing visual spectacle over storytelling - essentially 'jingling shiny keys' for 100 minutes.

    Why bother with storytelling when jingling the proverbial shiny keys in front of audience’s faces for 100 minutes guarantees a billion dollars? Will go hard for Cocomelon fans.

    I laughed. I cried. I fanboyed. I was screaming with all the other babies in the audience. Illumination finally won me over. So many sugary treats to enjoy! (Note: this is NOT an april fools joke)

    At first the pig craved the slop but soon it started choking on it, drowning in it.

    Does away with the idea that a movie needs to be anything besides a collection of recognizable mascots and easter eggs. Basically the same experience as standing on a moving walkway at the airport which happens to pass by a "History of Mario" exhibit.

    Donald Glover as Yoshi and now Glen Powell as Fox McCloud are probably the best casting choices in cinema history

    It was a great movie, I wasn’t expecting such a strong dad factor in the storyline. Well done also it was in 3-D.
