I think this is the first time I've gone to a premiere and regretted it a little. It was pretty chaotic—the theater was packed because Super Mario Galaxy was opening today, and obviously it has a huge following. Mario is a video game everyone knows, so of course the theaters would be overflowing with people, but… even though I knew that, I still wanted to go today because I was really looking forward to seeing this movie.
We chose the 1 p.m. showing, and the theater was packed—I imagine the later showings were even worse; the place was probably overflowing with people today, haha. As for the movie, I can’t say anything other than that it didn’t disappoint me at all. It’s fun, great for watching with the family, and above all, I thought the animation was beautiful—even more so than in the first one. My son was really excited throughout the whole movie; it was really great. I highly recommend it.
When we left the movie theater, we decided to take a walk, and my son played with some other kids who were in the park. It was a really fun and different day for me—I hadn't been out in so long. We stayed in the park for quite a while, until almost sunset.
By the way, with all the people and everything, I couldn't take any pictures of the movie theater merchandise at Mario's, and I couldn't buy any because they were pretty expensive, but the cups and popcorn buckets were really cute—too bad I'm broke, haha.
