Product: Super Mario Bros. [VHS] (1993)
Rating: 4.0
A unique take on the subject matter!
If SMB: The Movie hadn't been the first major film based on a video game, it would probably garner more favorable opinions. Think of all the terrible video game movies that came after it! Mario looks far superior in comparison.Overall, I ask that you put aside your vision of a Mario film and clear your mind of the traditional imagery in the games. You will see that Super Mario Bros. was a very unique take on a property that doesn't lend itself to live action film. I tip my hat to those involved in the actual creation & direction of the movie, since there was a lot of behind the scenes issues.Hopefully, we'll see an anniversary edition materialize in a year or so.
