Worst adaptation of a game and such an iconic game at that. No respect given!

Mario is a supportive, loving brother. Luigi is pure and sweet, and has a genuinely endearing relationship with Daisy. Daisy is a cool paleontologist who doesn't take crap from nobody, be they mob-bosses or interdimensional tyrants. face.Even though the cast had a miserable time behind the scenes, it doesn't show at all. The chemistry between the Mario brothers is especially good.It's a simple, fun film that doesn't waste time and would never be made today.

Even though I think this movie is literal cancer to the video game industry, I first watched the movie when I was a child. Honestly I think this movie is enjoyable for the same reason we still play Sonic games, because it's easy and fun to make fun of it. With terrible choices in actors and design, it can still be a good night for you. So gather your friends, and watch this movie. They'll either think you have bad taste in movies, or you really like making fun of bad movies. What I'm saying is, WATCH IT!

I'm pretty sure the studio was trippin' when they greenlit "Super Mario Bros." Maybe the filmmakers just wanted us to see what Mario did whenever he ate a mushroom. I'm grasping at straws here, but how else can one explain such a disconnect from the video game? The game wasn't really that complicated; you're a plumber, you jump a lot and you run in one direction to save the princess. To be fair, there's nothing about the game that screams "Hollywood movie!", but this certainly isn't how you go about it.Bear in mind, I don't think the movie deserves its bad reputation; but don't go into this without recreational drugs. There's some wild stuff going on here, but if you walk in sober, it's not a whole lot of fun. More attention was paid to he convoluted lore and "Blade Runner" sets (in a Mario movie!) than telling an engaging story. Let me put it this way: Bob Hoskins is one of my favorite actors - I mean, the guy can do no wrong - but his talents are wasted on this.5/10
