Product: Super Mario Bros. [VHS] (1993)
Rating: 5.0
Fun, adventurous film with a heavy dose of sci-fi with just the right amount of silly.
Seen this when it came out. Loved it ever since. A movie made about a video game in witch the video game never had a story for the film to begin with. So we got an original story, that simply has many references to the game. Whether the films story matches the game or not, it is a vary entertaining as a stand alone film, and that's what you have to remember when watching this.I liked all the characters, and thought the casting was pretty good. Especially Bob Hoskins, he really looked like a Mario. A lot of cool Dennis Hopper moments, He's wonderful as the villain. Some funny little scenes here and there also. I thought Toad was funny as a Goomba. Loved the tunnel chase with the Goombas too. I don't know why this gets all the hate, It really is a fun movie.Things I didn't like. Huh not too much. The pacing of the movie does move a little fast. A lot of cut scenes, I know a lot of negatives are plot holes. Maybe it was stuff that was cut, who knows? I would like to see a new release with bonus features and deleted scenes/extras.
