Super Mario Bros.
This film doesn't take much from it's video game inspiration other than some names. If not for the title, you probably can't tell that it's actually based off one of the most recognizable video game franchise in the world. In short, this isn't a good movie. It runs for too long and the plot is all over the place. It's one of those movies where the plot basically boils down to a simple concept, but takes a detour to get there. We get heaps of these weird things happening. The special effects were hit and miss, and the jumping boots that were frequently used were just cringe-worthy. It's not so much the idea as it is the execution, whenever someone uses those and jumps, it looks stupid. Overall, this film doesn't have any draws and you lose attention on what's happening onscreen too quickly.
