Summary: Okay film, needed more game refrences
Review: I think what people really expect when they go to watch this movie is a large video game connection, sadly there is very little. But I have to admit the film was still fun to watch, and for it's time the special effects aren't too bad.

Summary: not bad, but could have used a little more work
Review: The plot was strange yet interesting, mario and louigi have no powers at all! to do a jump they have to wear special shoes.
Rating: 
Summary: Different than the game and the cartoons, but entertaining
Review: I feel that this movie isn't very much like the games or the cartoons and TV shows that preceeded it, but it is Mario and you should at least rent this one if you're unsure. It has some strange but interesting features!

Summary: Great Games. Great Movie.
Review: This is a fun movie to watch. I like the action! King Koopa is odd, so is Toad, so are the goombas. They don't look like walking mushrooms, like on the game. But, it's still a good movie! Mario and Luigi look great in their costumes, and the boots. (You know, red and green overalls, and a blue shirt.) I like the bomb. Everybody knows about the bomb in the movie. I highly recommend this movie. It's great!!!!!!!!

Summary: THIS SUX!!! aviod at all cost!!
Review: How much did Dennis Hopper get paid to appear in this stinkbomb!! I really respected Dennis Hopper, but after Space Truckers, Im not surprised he made this POS. If you are asking yourself "this movie can't be THAT bad"...i'm telling you..YES IT CAN!!! It s probably worse that you can even imagine! and what happened to Capt.Lou? all I know is that after this garbage, Bob Hoskin's career went right in the toilet!! WHERE THIS TAPE BELONGS!!PS: no wonder it's out of print...NO ONE WANTED IT!!

Review: At the end of the movie when Daisy says you'll never believe this, well why did you leave us hangin what happened did you make another movie? If so why was it never advertised? What going on?

Summary: The Best Movie I Ever Seen
Review: Bob Hoskins and John Lequizamo are Mario and Luigi
Rating:
Summary: They could have done SO much more with this movie...
Review: I was very disappointed with this film. For one thing, the entire plot was wrong. They made a king who was a huge pile of muck, they made Toad into a human, and then a dino-type koopa (?!?), they made the koopa troopas look like deformed dinosaurs, and they gave the Marios practically no power at all-- no fireflowers, no super mushrooms... just one tiny bomb-omb. WHAT A JIP!! And where's Luigi's mustache?!

Summary: A completely misunderstood movie. Here's why it is good.
Review: Most people tend to hate this film. I think, though, that they hate it because they're looking at it the wrong way. It's one of those movies that has a point, and if you miss that, you don't get any of it.Their mistake is to watch this expecting a Mario movie. I know, it sounds like the right thing to expect, but hear me out. Fans of the game know what Mario is all about - powerups, angry mushrooms, winged turtles and flying blocks. If you watch this movie expecting that, you'll be disappointed, as you'll find NONE of it. But that's not to say it isn't worth watching. Picture the scene: a couple of directors are asked to make a Mario movie by Nintendo, and they want it to be live action. That was the flavour at the time - take cartoon characters and make them real. Now, these directors know about Mario. They say "No way can that be done. Mario is all about being a cartoon. Jumping on little angry animals, everyone's a mushroom... It's a great game, and it'd make a good cartoon, but a live action version would just be moronic." "Oh, don't worry about that," says Nintendo, "just so long as you get the main elements in, do it how you want." The directors go away, rubbing their chins, trying to think of a way to do that but still do justice to the games. And then they have a fascinating idea. What if they don't do a Mario film, exactly. What if they do a sci-fi film, but fill it to the brim with Mario references, for the keen-eyed game fans? That's what this movie is. If you watch it with that in mind, you will enjoy it. I've tested this theory out already on a friend who thought the film was a bit stupid when he saw it as a kid, but watched it yesterday with my little thesis in mind and he loved it. What you get here is a quite serious (despite the light-hearted script) sci-fi flick about the nightmarish world ours may soon become: crowded, filthy, choked with pollution and overrun with a hate-filled populace who will fight you, yell at you, even try to shoot you if you pass too close. Run by a demonic well-dressed dictator politician (played to amazing effect by Dennis Hopper) who has let this world become the dark horror it is through neglect: there is no water any more, only sludge, and a slimy infestation of fungus has grown over everything, draped in great loops like one gigantic, chaotic spider web. Into this world come Mario and Luigi, similar to their game counterparts but more human, a pair of plumber brothers from Brooklyn who grew up together as orphans. They are trying to save a girl, who has been kidnapped and dragged here, and along the way they get wrapped up in something really horrifying: the president and his people are human, but human descended from dinosaurs instead of apes. He's found a way to revert his citizens back to their prehistoric roots, and with his army of lizard lackeys he's going to bridge the split between worlds (that formed when the meteorite that "killed" the dinosaurs hit) and take over our own. And through all this we find references of the sort that Mario's biggest fans will drool over, so long as they are watching this in the way I suggest. These prove that the film has been put together not by someone ignorant of the games, but by someone very well versed in their lore. A large woman called Big Bertha, dressed all in red, is named in reference to a large red fish enemy from Mario 3. She wears mechanical boots named "Thwomp-Stompers", after the classic ice block enemies, and they are powered by capsules that look exactly like Bullet Bills, from Super Mario Bros 1. Shops are apparently owned by people with the same names as characters from the games (Hammer Bros and Bullet Bill), a protest singer is named after Toad, the happy little mushroom from the games, but his hair is shaved into the pattern on the shell of Lakitu, a fan favourite since day one. These references go on throughout the film and shape its world - the fungus, which turns out to be a conscious entity, helps the brothers in every way it can; they are saved on more than one occasion by mushrooms, in what has become a literal mushroom kingdom. It's all in here if you keep your eyes peeled. Go in ready to watch not a Mario film, but a film that references Mario, and you will love it. It doesn't "change" anything from the games, because it is not any kind of filmed version of them, but it nods to them constantly. Viewed in this light, it is a treat to watch, and a rare treat, because no other film has ever crammed in so many references to videogaming before. Simply put, a live action Mario film could never be made, and the directors asked to make one did a brilliant job at trying something new and original. Well worth the ten dollars for the DVD.
