Kids Are Dumb... But Then They Grow Up

I was 9 or 10 whenever this film came out and now that I look back in retrospect, I realise just how stupid I was. The problem with being a child is that you rarely, if ever, know anything, and... Full review
First off.... I absolutely love this movie. It's such a treat to a fan with a good imagination.Secondly, why would anyone in their right mind take this kind of movie seriously, to the point of bashing it for things like... Full review

Nintendo, my favorite company, has betrayed me. Be then again, they didn't know that the creators of this movie would defile the game that made Nintendo an extremely successful video game company. But enough of that, let me tell you... Full review

Strident Weasel - imdb.com
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

Let me start off by saying that this is a great movie. Many people were expecting this movie to be piece for piece off of the video game which is pretty stupid considering that the Mario bros. games don't really... 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
Too harsh, by far

Yes, this no classic, but it's not that bad. And yes it bears no resemblance to the video games that inspired it except for the jumpsuits that look like the heroes overalls, but it's not bad.Mario & Luigi (Bob Hoskins... Full review
Why is everyone taking this so seriously?

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

I made the mistake of watching this movie the day i had knee surgery. So i was doped up on all kinds of pain killers and thought the movie was great. However a few years later i remembered how much... Full review

I cannot accurately describe how much of a disappointment this movie was to me. I am a huge Mario Bros. fan, but this movie is truly a dark spot in their history. While I did like the Mario Bros. costumes... 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. ...
