This movie is ridiculously bad and infamous for completely duffing what made the Mario Games well Mario Games. It would have worked far better animated than live action that was used here.

The special effects wereHonestly, the plot in this "Super Mario Bros." movie is too much like the movie "Speed." The plot devices in this movie worked with "Speed", a highly successful movie, but not with this particular mess of a movie. The special effects were also really cheesy, and did make the audience feel like it was in an actual moment in the "Super Mario Bros." games. I grew up with "Super Mario Bros." and this movie is not faithful at all to the game material. The acting did not help either. The acting was pretty run-of-the-mill for a movie. The acting is nothing like the acting in a video game. The acting is more like acting found in an action thriller, like "Speed." "Super Mario Bros" is not supposed to be an action flick. It is supposed to be a movie that closely resembles that of the video game. Even the poster looks so cut-rate and disappointing. Mario and Luigi look nothing as they do in the games, or even as they are in the "Super Mario Brothers Super Show" I grew up with as a kid. Besides, this movie lacks humor the audience would find funny. Most of the humor consists of overly-used slapstick gags, that turn out to be more annoying than funny. The only remotely (no pun intended) attractive part of this movie is Dennis Hopper. Dennis Hopper really is the only reason to come down and watch this weird, slapsticky, action-filled movie that is supposed to take place in a game, but really is nothing but some weird action flick, using similar plot devices to the successful (and completely different) movie "Speed."… Expand

This movie is like a fanfiction made by a boomer that doesn't know anything about Mario whatsoever.

I vaguely remember watching this when I was a younger but I think I blocked it out. I probably never would have watched it again had John Leguizamo not started crying like a little child about it. And it's just as bad as I'd forgotten it was.I vaguely remember watching this when I was a younger but I think I blocked it out. I probably never would have watched it again had John Leguizamo not started crying like a little child about it. And it's just as bad as I'd forgotten it was. I mean it truly belongs in the worst movies of all time hall of fame. Now I have to spend the next 30 years trying to forget it again.

On a side note:
Dear John,
I just wanted to remind you that while you run around complaining about the lack of Latinos in the cast. There are no Latino characters in Super Mario. If anything, you should be complaining of a lack of Italians in the cast.
Lemma just remind you real quick. Mario and Luigi are Italian while you are Columbian and Bob Hoskins is British. Perhaps you should be apologising for stealing those rolls from Italian actors. You know what they say about throwing stones in glass houses don't you?… Expand

It has no faithfulness to the games is the plot is stupid and the acting is terrible. This film is actually vile. Heck the guy who played Luigi in this film is trying to boycott the new super mario bros animated movie that came out a few weeks ago BC he's jealous that that film did really well and his film sucked BC he's a rubbish actor. And finally, why on Earth did they give Mario and Luigi guns? It's a freaking kids film, not adult violence film with sex references. This is worse than the idea of giving Shadow the hedgehog a gun. This film just makes no f**king sense at all.
There's a reason why film is on the worst movies ever made list.… Expand

Another unwanted piece of garbage that makes me scared some of the time and sad for how a video game movie has turned into .

الفيلم سيئ جداً و لا يمد إلى سلسلة سوبر ماريو بصلة لم استطع حتى إكمال الفلم إلى النهاية
