Super Mario Bros.

[jmsynth]

It's funny but as a kid I choose this over Jurassic Park! And when I finally did see JP (on video) I didn't like it as much! Yeah, I was pretty happy with the film, of course I was too young to realise that it really had little to do with the games. Having seen it recently I realise what a sloppy movie it is. It has limited similarities to the games, yet is probably incomprehensible to those who've never played it! Still the film is kinda fun, it has nostalgia value, great sets, and is much preferable to dull contemporary VG movies like "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil".

Dude, this movie ROCKS!! I love it! xD

Why does everyone hate this movie?  It's awsome!!!

It's one of my favorite movies and people who don't like it have no sense of humor whatsoever :P

La wea mala, la cagó.

Cuando salió esta pelicula, estaba super de moda el jueguito Mario Bros, y yo a ojos cerrados arrendé la peli en un video club de mala muerte. El resultado, una película grotezca, que en lo único que le es fiel al juego es en los nombres de los personajes y en los trajes de plomeros picantes... realmente horrible y patética, no entiendo como muchos de quienes comentaron acá arriba mío la encuentran genial.... espero que quienes me procedan no cometan el mismo error de creerse "la muerte" con decir que esta película "la lleva". Es claro que aquí hay cine de culto "MALO", pero MARIO BROS (la película) simplemente no debería estar aquí.

One of the worst video game movies I have ever seen.the only thing it had in common  with the game is the name only.The film is an insult to the good name of Mario.I wasted 15 dollers on this crap today aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrr.

This movie was okay, I just noticed something, the guy who plays Mario, didn't he also star in "Who framed Roger Rabbit"? Hey Popeye, their's no need to yell dude so have a can of spinach and calm cown. And Guile, would you mind translating what you typed into english cause some of us don't speak your language please? Thank you

I don't have the movie yet but it looks great.  I'm a big luigi fan and you should've seen the look on my face when I saw there was a movie!  Too bad I just figured it out today XD

I saw this movie when I was 10, I thought it was alright, but I was annoyed at how unlike the games it was!  I didn't like how nasty and shroom stuff covered the Mushroom Kingdom was!  I was rather amazed to see how unpopular it was!  I mean, the only thing good Nintendo could say about it was that it was only 88 minutes long!  And Hopkins said it was the worst thing he ever did!

I think Nintendo should give it another shot, but be much more faithful to the source material!

You know, I can't help but wonder if maybe the film may have been conceived as a different movie unrelated to the games, and then they acquired the Super Mario license and just slapped the names of the Mario characters and elements onto the people and places in the film in an attempt to attract more people...

[Mr Reptilian!]

This movie stinks.I don't know why the producers didn't just stick with the idea of the video game instead of making this piece of crap.I was watching it with my two nephews and they hated it and walked out after the first hour.The only person we liked in the whole movie was Yoshi I Wish he had more parts in it.Buy the cartoon series don't mess with junk it is a ugly unentertaining piece of carbage that needs to be flushed down the nearest toilet.

THANK YOU I AGREE WITH YOU!

I think this film is great! 

All the people who have posted derogatory remarks on this board are ADULTS! This is a PG movie based on a VIDEO GAME, for CHILDREN!

I admit it is very stupid, but it's a far fetched plot (don't most movies have outlandish plots? It's a movie!). There is no way on earth they could have made a film so closely based on those NES games at all. It would have cost millions upon millions and would have been boring: Fat Italian plumber jumps on pipe - fat italian plumber jumps on mushroom - fat italian plumber grows raccoon tail and saves princess. I'm glad this movie had more to offer than that quite frankly. It's a good movie because it is so stupid, but entertaining and I find the costume design, make-up and sets to be really interesting. I think it's a shame this gets so much hate, as there are far worse game-to-movie adaptations and if it hadn't had "Super Mario Bros" slapped on it, I think it would've gone down as a decent Sci-Fi family adventure film.

So to all you haters I say this:

"Monkey"

I`m with you this is a fun movie, one of my faves from childhood.

It says something about a movie when one of the primary images to describe it is just the title screen.  I agree the movie generally goes downhill after that scene.  I have vague memories of watching this movie as a child.  Being one who a substantial amount of my young life was wasted trying to save Daisy I was looking forward to it.  Yes, they made a bad movie to hurt me in my tender youth.  Favorite part was when they were in the dino-city and some guy is singing about how they don't have any resources.  In '93 I was in the 5th grade and even I was scratching my head trying to figure out how a city could exist with no resources, where did food, water, energy, etc. come from.  I guess a 5th grader looked deeper into this movie than the director, producer, and writers did.
