Summary: A fun kids movie...
Review: "Super Mario Bros." may have very little to do with the video game of the same name, but it is a lot of fun. Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo play Mario and Luigi respectively. They're Brooklyn plumbers who stumble upon a parallel universe containing the evolved versions of dinosaurs. The leader of this new dimension is Koopa, played with charisma by Dennis Hopper. Koopa is in search of a meteorite piece that will merge the two dimensions and allow him to rule the Earth. This is an enjoyable film for the most part, though it has its disappointments, the biggest being that it's almost nothing like the game. But it contains quite a few laughs and good moments that should be a pleasure to kids. While this DVD contains no special features, it makes for a great collectible item.

Summary: I don't care what the critics say!!!!!!!!!
Review: As my review tital says, I could care less about the negative press about this movie! It's my all time favorite movie and in my opinion, is one of the top five best movies ever made! It's a movie for all ages, (Even my mom and grandma love this film!)
great actors, awesome special effects, and the story is almost the same as the game! Now I love The United States of America and I respect the right to free speech, but I must say, STOP JUDGEING THIS MOVIE WITH BAD REVIEWS! IT DIDN"T DO ANYTHING TO YOU! Another thing I'm a big Mario Bros. fan and this is a must have for any kid or grownup who enjoys this movie as much as I do This was one of the first video game movies and it certainly isn't the last and I hope people will understand that just because a movie i based on a video game as famous as SMB, don't judge the film befor you watch it.

P.S. I hope someday a Super Mario Bros. 2 movie pops up!

Summary: Most Bashed Film Ever
Review: Okay. This movie is a part of my childhood. I saw this movie in 93 when it first came out, and I loved it. I probably watched it nearly a dozen times when it came out on video, and I've seen it several more times on TV and subsequent rentals.

To say the least, this movie DOES take creative license to the extreme on the original game. But how else would you adapt a video game of a plumber hopping around on floating blocks, stomping on little mushroom-like goombas, and kicking green and red shells? You CAN'T! You simply cannot make a faithful adaptation out of a game like SMB. But what you can do is take your own interpretation of it and turn it into one helluva ride.

All bitching aside, this movie is a great film by itself. I bet anyone who reads this that the movie would be more widely accepted if it didn't bear the SMB name.

The production values are insanely good, the acting is above par, (God bless John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins,) and it has some of the first serious 3D effects (aside from T2.)

There are alot of good action sequences, set pieces, costumes, and scenarios in this scene. Just watch the scene where Mario and Luigi escape from the prison. It's amazing!

This movie deserves at LEAST a 6 or 7/10 on IMDB, as it's much better than any movie on the worst 200 list. Just watch "House of the Dead" or "Alone in the Dark" to see my point.

Do yourself a favor: find this movie, rent it (or buy it) and watch it again. You'll probably like it.

Summary: I AM AWAITING A "LEGEND OF ZELDA" MOVIE!
Review: This is a good movie, and there's nothing wrong with it. WHERE IS A ZELDA MOVIE??!! THE SAME GUY WHO MADE MARIO MADE ZELDA! WHEN WILL IT COME OUT???? I don't think it really matters that there's no relation between the games and the movies.
