Consider me a fan of Yoshi now

Whoa, I can’t believe they let the F word into a kids' movie. Anyways…
I'm glad the audience is enjoying this. Still, as a movie, it's a chaotic jumble—like a colorful car crash of references, where the film expects viewers to point at the screen because they recognize what it’s referencing. It’s like the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme. If you're not a fan or familiar with the games, I don't know what you'll take away from this. I was indifferent to it all.
Nonetheless, it's an entertaining, fast-paced, and chaotic film that isn't the worst ever and isn't a simple movie. Of course, this is going to make money, and there will be more of these, but if they're the same quality as this one, we are in for some bad times ahead.
The first film looks better by comparison; it now feels like an actual movie.
I liked Yoshi. He was adorable, and I loved his little jiggle-walk montage scene. I also wouldn't have guessed that Donald Glover was voicing Yoshi.
