Uhhhh, theyre cool looking games, and you can change the difficulty so you can beat them, theyre quick but so are fighting games, you buy them for mastering them or cheap thrills.

Unfortunately, yes. I love it too and I'm constantly running into people who only say it's bad because that's the "popular" opinion. I hate people like that. On the other hand, I also see plenty of people who say it's not a bad movie at all, it's just not a very good Mario movie. I can see that point of view.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

I'm far from following the crowd. I'm a metal-head, a comic fan, and I watch Star Trek (among other things). Far from the clubbing, hip-hop listening, CoD playing popular guy.

Yet I have to say, it is one terrible movie. It barely resemble Mario Bros. I mean seriously, King Koopa isn't even a turtle (or is he a dragon with a shell?). Why the hell was the Mushroom Kingdom some run down version of New York City?

It wouldn't matter much if the story saved all the changes, but it didn't. It was a generic, predicable Hollywood dribble of a script. It was a shameless quick cash-in on the Mario craze.

This has got to be the douchiest opinion ever, and you do it way too much. Just because X person doesn't like something that the majority doesn't like does not in any way, shape, or form mean that they only do not like it because the majority doesn't like it. You can just fuck off with that attitude.

I agree, but dang, that was harsh. Who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?
