Dinosaurs Alive and Real
This movie came into theaters just weeks before Jurassic Park, which completely overshadowed it both financially and critically. Super Mario Bros. was failed not because it was bad but because it was simply just forgotten.That's a shame because its on a level all its own. It went up against Jurassic park with a single cable-operated T. rex puppet and a lot of tall men in pinhead suits. Despite that, you feel that these dinosaurs are so much more real because they ARE real. You could literally reach out and touch them, unlike the fully-CG dinos in Jurassic Park.For that reason alone it deserves a watch. Super Mario Bros. may not have the same spectacle of Jurassic Park, but it surely offers something much more special: the feeling of something real...
