I loved every second of it. It was a love letter to Mario fans of every generation. Parents and children alike will find something in this movie.
It paid homage to the world in meaningful way, incorporating tidbits of every game. I hope it made Italians everywhere pretty proud. Fans that complained about Mario's accent in the trailer will find their concerns handled in the first 10 minutes. The only thing I felt off was Bowser wasn't really Bowser, he was basically Jack Black and I am not mad about that, it was a great performance.
Donkey Kong fans will also feel a welcoming hand. The world and pacing were wonderful. The audience clapped at credits which hasn't happened to me in a couple years.
