I love this movie. I don't understand why critics and video game fans seem to loathe it. The biggest complaint seems to be that it isn't like the video game. But what was the story of the 1985 Super Mario... Full review

It is clear that this film has been unfairly dismissed. OK, so it doesn't fit the criteria of a 'good film', but, it's a great kids film. It's dark and strange, things generally uncommon of kids films, and, if it... Full review

This is a cheesy movie for people who play video games. I don't understand why some people adamantly insist this movie should never have been made. It's cute and entertaining. It doesn't stay completely loyal to the game storyline, but... Full review

Eric's Bad Movies: Super Mario Bros (1993)
When he does this to his two idiotic goons, Iggy (Fisher Stevens) and Spike (Richard Edson), their newfound intelligence takes the form of them now saying "affirmative" instead of "yes," which of course isn't really a sign of intelligence at all.

The filmmakers here apparently felt it was enough to bombard the screen with dazzling visuals, leaving serious story gaps, scene changes without transitions and characters without any development to speak of.
movie is not likely to hold the attention of 10-year-olds anywhere near as long as the video game does - they'll likely get bored about halfway through.
