Big budget film takes some real big liberties with the popular Nintendo franchize and has Mario and Luigi crossing into a parellel world to save a young woman from a disgusting ruler. Theres some charm here and there but it would have worked better if the Mario Bros name was left off of it due to it's major straying from he source material.

It ain't no game...it's total cinematic sodomy. 3%

Movies based off videogames, like anything else, are interesting conceptually, but at least 90% of the time, the execution of such things results in puke-inducing disaster. This movie is no exception, and in fact, is among the absolute worst out there. What's even weirder is that I first saw this movie on cable TV back around 1994 and despite being much younger and therefore much easier to please, I still found the movie to be a wretched experience because at that age, I couldn't … more

"Sci fi action with ray guns and springshoes" If this was the title, it would have been better.

Wasn't the original Mario Bros game about … more

ugh. If I wanted a reason to hate the Mario Bros. Then this POS would give me some very good reasons. The script was horrid, the special effects awful. Oh man, I don't want to have to seriously review this eye cancer.

A classic

Some people say they loved this movie when they were a kid but they hate it the older they get and why is that? it's because this movie is for kids. When this film came out I was 5 and I saw it over 30 times when I was that age, now I'm 17 and in the past few years I've seen it 0 times. It's like some sort of peter pan thing because it's something about adults that blocks their imagination and makes them say classic KIDS movies like Super Mario Brothers is a horrible movie. There are things that … more
