Product: Super Mario Bros. [VHS] (1993)
Rating: 5.0
Not like the video game, but still fun!
This movie has received a lot of unfair criticism. Mostly, the problem is that this movie derrived from a video game. Some people dislike it because it comes from a video game and others hate it because it is too unlike the game. Admittedly, if there were some name and costume changes, this movie could be called something besides "Super Mario Bros.".In any case, how good would the movie be if it featured a little plumber running through a bunch of turtles and jumping on to a flagpole? If it were too similar to the video game, many viewers would turn away (however, its unlikeness to the game has turned away some gamers). In any case, this movie is a lot of fun to watch. The characters are spirited and, as it says on the box, it's a blast to watch.
