Review: I remember how excited I was about this movie. And I remember I loved it. I know most everybody hated it, and I'll admit it had little to do with the games, but I thought it was brilliant and wonderfully entertaining. Plumbers who are working on pipes and end up going through a warp to another world to save a kidnapped princess from a tyrannical reptile? Formula for first-rate entertainment!! It's not a bit believable, I know, but it's FANTASY, so why should it be? I found most of the references to the game to be fun( Toad, faithful follower of the royal family, Yoshi the friendly dino, Goombas, citizens of the other world who are transformed and work for the dark side, Koopa, the evil reptile king, Super Mushrooms, Bob-ombs) including indirect ones( Big Bertha - the fish from SMB3, Daisy - the princess from SML, Tweeters - an enemy from the US SMB2, Thwomps, Snifits, etc.). The only thing that I had a problem with was the ex-ruler being named Bowser( and returning to normal without being evolved by relevant technology). The decor in Koopa's Towers resembling castles in SMB3 was brilliant. And, wow! Bob-ombs wear Reeboks! Who knew? The acting and effects were pretty awesome too. The animatronic Yoshi was beautiful and I was able to accept it as a real creature. Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo were clearly delighted in their roles. Bob Hoskins was the perfect reluctant hero. I only wish I could see or at least read the sequel alluded to by the ending. In short, this movie is a fantastic 104 minutes for anyone with an open mind and even the slightest bit of imagination.

Summary: I think I'm gonna cry....
Review: The "Super Mario Bros." movie is a disgrace to everything related to Nintendo or moviemaking, and I highly recommend--in fact, I insist--that if you ever see it, just scream and run! If only I could stop right there! Somehow, I have this urge as a devoted ...customer to take some of my precious time to list as many reasons why this movie is so awful as I can think of in the present time. Well, here goes. If you're reading this review, you're probably familiar with the original game from 1985. Therefore, you should know that the Mushroom Kingdom is NOT a bustling city filled with cops that catch Mario and Luigi, and King Koopa is NOT a deevolved human with a lizard tongue, and the Goombas are NOT humans with shrunken heads, and Princess Toadstool's name is NOT Daisy, and a woman named Big Bertha does NOT appear in any Mario game whatsoever, and the Mario Bros. did NOT get to the Mushroom Kingdom by travelling to another dimension (they got there through a pipe, remember?), and King Koopa did NOT make a machine that deevolved humans. All these atrocities can be found in the movie. You'd think the makers of this movie would have played the game before! But wait, there's more! In addition to not being anything like the game (except by borrowing some names), this movie is just bad as a movie in general. The script is absolutely horrendous--for example, upon seeing that a building is covered with fungus, Mario says, "Oh look, this building has Athlete's Foot!" What a knee-slapper. And the acting is so bad that you can't tell the difference between when the actors are trying to be "scared" and when they're trying to be "excited"! Honestly, I can't find any reason to buy this movie, rent this movie, watch this movie, or even make eye contact with it for a single millisecond. Here I say it again: "The 'Super Mario Bros.' movie is a disgrace to everything related to Nintendo or moviemaking, and I highly recommend--in fact, I insist--that if you ever see it, just scream and run!"

Summary: WHERE is Nintendo when you need a decent plot?
Review: This movie is UNACCURATE! Stupid! Foolish! Laughable! Not like the games! How? Here's a list of what was bad about this so-called "movie": *The Goombas are tiny brown mushroom-like enemies not dinosaurs!
*King Koopa is human!
*The Mario Bros. do not live in Brooklyn in the games!!
*Bowser (King Koopa) has a wife
*In the games there IS no Dinosaurcity! It's the Mushroom Kingdom
*Toad is not in this movie (dumb)
*Yoshi was more cartoony and can talk in the games
*More than HALF of the enemy characters are missing in this movie AND MANY MORE! But don't panic you'll get a good chuckle from the EXTREME bad acting! Seriously even Nintendo hated this movie! Overall: Is Super Mario Bros. bad? Of course not! It's not a bad game! It's just a bad movie. (...) If you want a splendid adventure then stick with the games.

Summary: Don't bother with the movie, just play the game!
Review: I may be a video game lover, but I love this movie too. This is by far NOT the best video game-based movie, but I enjoyed it. Mostly just to see if I can point out the dumbest, most corny parts of the plot as they come onscreen. I loved (and still do love) the original Super Mario Bros. game for my NES, and this movie is a sort of mockery of it to me. The weak plot and impressive cast just didn't work. It may have a few great stars in it (most namely Bob Hoskins), but even the great actor that he is he couldn't save this movie from ... as bad as it did. A little funny, definately corny, the first time you see it, but it probably won't hold anyone's interest for too long. A better video-game-turned-movie would be Tomb Raider, or Final Fantasy, or The Wizard, but if you like Super Mario, don't disappoint yourself by buying this movie. Just play the game.

Summary: Highly Underrated
Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE! So what if it's not the game! I'm just unhappy they did a crappy soundtrack. I had to buy a bootleg cd to get Alan Silvestri's score. The movie had its parts just for kids, but I am 15 years old and I still want a pair of those cool boots! I wish there was a DVD, too. When I first saw this movie, I hoped there would be a sequel, and I still want Super Mario Breothers Part II. Those of you who hate this movie wiil probably grow up to be critics, like another reviewer said. Critics usually hate the best movies. They hated this, The Goonies, Jurassic Park, Blues Brothers, etc., and these are great movies.
Take a look after the credits for a surprise from the Super Koopa Cousins!

Summary: Stupid movie
Review: First, let me say that this review is in no way a criticism of the numerous video games of the same title. I'm down with controlling little pixelated guys and making them jump on/punch/shoot fireballs at little pixelated monsters. But this movie proves that movies based on video games are even worse than movies based on comic books. Super Mario Bros. tells the story of Mario and Luigi, two plumbers who travel to another dimension to rescue a princess from a bunch of evil guys who are descended from dinosaurs. You can tell they are descended from dinosaurs and not apes because, although they look exactly the same as humans, they all have very stupid hair. Does the movie expect us to believe someone is an evil reptile just because they have stupid hair? For example, I doubt that Carrot top is descended from dinosaurs. The cast of Dragon Ball Z is another example of people who aren't descended from dinosaurs. I mean, if you believe this movie, every single person who was ever in a music video in the 80s is an evil descendant of dinosaurs with a plot to take over the world. I can't respect a movie that has so little respect for me that it lies to me in such a blatant fashion. After arriving in the stupid-hair universe, Mario and Luigi are immediately arrested by some evil-cops with puffy sleeves and "police" written on their backs in sequins. Being arrested by the village people lowers their self esteem, but then they realize that at least their hair isn't several feet tall, and they feel better. I'm really angry at this movie. Maybe it's because at one point, King Koopa sticks out his tongue to show it is several feet long, proving that he is not only an evil dinosaur but either Gene Simmons or the annoying big-forheaded goth that John Travolta hired in Battlefield Earth for her "special talents." I could go on for a very long time. And in fact I will. Maybe it's because the movie was aimed at seven year olds, but shows people's heads being stretched out of proportion and growing huge spikes, teeth, and scales in a way that is kind of disturbing to me, even though I can eat pizza while watching movies like Toxic Avenger and Return of the Living Dead. Maybe it's the fact that a machine designed to change people at the genetic level also changes their clothes. Maybe it's the fact that my friend Kevin told me that the theme song in the end credits made the movie tolerable, but the theme song did not really exist (although it could have been because in a fit of annoyance I smashed the TV screen with a sledgehammer before the credits sequence finished completely). To summarize my review, it was a fairly unwatchable movie. It was visually kind of cool, and had a few funny moments, but the good was far outweighed by the fact that the movie expects us to know that dinosaurs hate plumbers. Didn't you know that dinosaurs hate plumbers?

Summary: It pleases me greatly to watch this movie
Review: I gotta say that though the movie wasn't anything up there in artistic value, it certainly was a good movie to watch. I've been witness to every Super Mario Bros. piece of merchandising and entertainment ever, and seeing the movie and seeing how they related the games and such to a more realistic setting is really intriguing, and right now I'm looking for a good place to buy it.

Summary: c'mon nintendo
Review: i'm not gunna lie. this is not a good movie. other game titles would have made a much better story. If they chose kirby, maybe. they could have made a million jokes about a wierd blob and an evil penguin. they could have had action with dark matter in a battle. they should make this movie, instead of more dumb mario movies. Kirby and King Dedede beat Mario and Luigi by a mile.
