Why You Hating?!
Everybody I know seems to hate this movie. They state their reasons and go on how it barely resembles anything from it's video game counterpart. Well I am not one of those people. I love this movie so much and every time I watch it, I have lots of fun and it puts a smile on my face.I really liked the direction the movie decided to take. It gives us a Sci Fi feel with Mario and Luigi traveling to an alternate dimension. You can tell a lot of imagination is in the film and it certainly shows. I enjoy how there are elements from many of the Mario games released at the time. Iggy and Spike from Super Mario World, Daisy from Super Mario Land, and Toad from the NES Super Mario Bros.I applaud the team trying to put together as many characters from the Mario universe as possible and giving them a good amount of screen time. All of them give many laughs and every scene has great action and scenery. I like how they gave Luigi the love interest to Dasiy. You would think Mario would have it but he has his own girlfriend. The characters are well cast and I wouldn't think of anyone else to replace them. This movie is just full of good times and most importantly, fun.If you want to watch the best movie based off a video game franchise, Super Mario Bros is where it is at.
