Product: Super Mario Bros. [VHS] (1993)
Rating: 5.0
Best Movie Ever (...probably)
This is a 2 person written review.Part 1: Nick.I was born in 1986, making me a child who grew up around such greatnesslessness as Super Mario and ... Super... Luigi? anywho, point is, I grew up with mario.I got my first Nintendo (a NES of course) at about the age of 4.. and my first game was Super Mario Brothers.When I first found out there was a Super Mario Brothers Movie, on the inside, I grew closer to God.I watched it, and as a naive little child thought to myself "I want chocolate cake..." BUT I also thought "This doesn't match with Super Mario Brothers AT ALL!"And the truth is - It doesn't (really) at all!As I grew older, I watched it every year or so... and more recently my opinion has changed on it.I realize now that it was not meant as a literal take on the Super Mario Brothers games and that the writers decided to take a different angle when writing a movie that basically encompassed the entire 1980's generation (X and Y).They wrote something both interesting and different. Something with such insight and brilliance that many people misunderstood and misrepresented it... typical of the human race.This movie is one of the defining movies of my youth, along with the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Mary Poppins and Bingo.I suggest that everyone born in the time frames of gen X and Y see this movie... especially those who were encapsulated by the brilliant, and original N.E.S.(By the way - Generation X is typically known as those who GREW up during the 80's, whilst Gen Y is those BORN in the 80's)...(Also, I may have been drinking tonight... and may have just obtained a Visa card to which I just ordered Mario Bros on DVD - No more BAD VHS for me!)Part 2: DAP!I pretty much agree
