58% sounds like exactly the score the Mario movie deserves. It was… fine. I enjoyed watching it a lot more than I thought I would. I wouldn’t put it on again.
Separately I hope the Little Mermaid doesn’t suck too bad, my partner and I got tickets to see it a day early (Wednesday) bc the original was her favorite Disney movie growing up
Sounds like Halle Bailey is good, but it's still fundamentally a cg nightmare that didn't need to be made.
Also Disney are cowards, doing "live action" and not getting a drag queen for Ursula.
Real shit though, I don't care about most of these soulless CGI remakes (though I think they are all pretty pointless), but this one really enrages me. Howard Ashman was literally dying of AIDS when he did his work for The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Those two films are a great artists last work and should have been left the fuck alone.
Mom, mom! Listen, I know it's a 58pct, but it's a good score actually. Never mind mind the average or distribution of other scores, it's more than 50pct therefore it's good. Please accept that my potential is that of a very middling (technically "rotten" but nearly "fresh") movie aimed for literally babies and the least interesting people alive.
Yeah, I think a lot of the discrepancy from the critic and audience score of the Mario movie comes from the movie being made specifically to cater to kids and adults that like Nintendo games. That audience largely enjoyed it (and was probably most of the people that went to the movie), while critics were of course more mixed and for good reasons.

An astute point and one I'll make when I petition rotten tomatoes to lower their extremely onerous "fresh" threshold.

Hope your parent chaperone lets you guys get all the soda and popcorn and Reese's Pieces y'all can handle.
The original Little Mermaid came out in 1989, meaning their partner is probably between 24 and 44 years old.
Lmao owned
it's literally 2 decimal points away from the fresh rating lol
