This was way better than I expected. Unlike the video game movies of my childhood, it’s clear the writers here have actually played (and enjoyed) Mario games.
Adult nostalgia with enough there for the kids. Very reminiscent of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Starts strong, but not quite as good as Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers
They just keep on making these, and I keep on watching due to nostalgia and having kids who love dinosaurs. The effects continue to be great, and there’s no lack of acting talent, but the writing is just so poor and repetitive.
