Yeah. Gamingcirlcjerk obsessed over it for months beyond its initial hype. It was another cash grab attaching a popular IP with a mediocre product to create buzz. The Mario Movie and One Piece Live Action also fall into this category.
Basically it coasted on advertising. People thought it's the next big thing because they saw it everywhere, not realising that thats because more money went into advertising than paying the devs to make a good game.
