"It's true: the situation is indeed very similar. Actually, regarding the previous film, I felt that the critics' opinions did hold some validity. However, I thought things would be different this time around-only to find that the criticism is even harsher than it was before."
"It really is quite baffling: here we are-having crossed over from a different field-working hard with the specific aim of helping to revitalize the film industry, yet the very people who ought to be championing that cause seem to be the ones taking a passive stance."
The animated sequel has grossed millions but holds a low 43-percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, lower than the original's 59-percent. Co-producer Shigeru Miyamoto expressed surprise at the harsh reviews, expecting better reception. He acknowledged some validity in past criticisms and noted that negative reviews previously contributed to the film's box office success. Miyamoto finds it baffling that critics, who should support revitalizing the film industry, are instead taking a passive stance against the sequel, which is perceived as lacking substance and relying heavily on references.
