The Mario Movie has gotten an A as it's cinema score.
Kind of showing an absolute huge divide between critics and actual people.
I may have lost the bet, but let me just say that I really don't think critics were at all looking for the right things. There's actually an interesting article on how Boomer city movie reviewers are on.
Nah, there's a difference between being a good/great film and being an enjoyable film. Rise of Skywalker did really well with the crowd that just wanted a list of nostalgic references, but got appropriately bad reviews because it did everything terribly beyond that. No doubt the mario film looks nice, but if it's got nothing but the most barebones of plotlines and doesn't work as a film outside of the window of 'if you loved the games and you wanted to see references to the games on screen, BAM', it's entirely appropriate for it to not have reviewed well.
(I put a disclaimer again that I've no personal opinion on it yet because I've not yet been to see it)
