Super Mario Bros
SCORE: 56
Super Mario Bros is seen by many as the worst video game related movie of all time. Some people like to add live action into that phrase. As a movie Super Mario Bros is okay. I reminded myself that Super Mario Bros comes to us from 1993. I thought this movie was made in the 1980s. I was off by a few years. Super Mario Bros was only five dollars.
If you look at Super Mario Bros as a live action adaptation of the video games then you will be very disappointed. Throughout the movie I found problem after problem with the Super Mario Bros. The storyline in Super Mario Bros also makes little to no sense at all. During dinosaur times, a meteorite landed and sent them all to a different dimension. They then evolved to look just like humans.
Super Mario Bros contains enticement to lust, violence, death, religious teachings promoting evolution, old Earth belief, corny dialogue, and bad language. How exactly did the dinosaurs survive on a planet with no resources? There are plot holes so big in this movie that a 747 could taxi through safely. Nintendo is known for making money. They have billions in the bank from fleecing consumers. Super Mario Bros is one of those products that Nintendo messed up on.
Dennis Hopper does his best to save this movie from a lower alphabetical listing. Sadly even he could not save the Super Mario Bros. Kudos to him for such an interesting hairstyle. Toad, Yoshi, Goombas, Koopa and more are so wrong in this movie. The jump boots were kind cool.
A big issue I have with the Super Mario Bros movie is Luigi is the main character. Mario is in a support role. Luigi and princess Daisy are the main storyline. There is no princess Peach, and Mario is romantic with multiple women. Even one that wrestles way outside his weight class. I have no idea what the writers were thinking with the Super Mario Bros live action movie.
