Review of Super Mario Bros. (1993) by Alex A — 31 May 2017
- Very few resemblances to the video game phenomenon it's based on.
- "You're not gonna believe this" scene at the end hints at a new threat yet the film ends there, leaving you hanging with no answer as to what "this" is.
- Ugly world-building.
- Messy, overdrawn final act.
- Unremarkable, dry villainous motivation.
- Laughably dated special effects.
- "Moron" partners up and disappear in the film near the final act and are never seen again for whatever unexplained reason.
- Not funny, although it almost garners a chuckle once in a blue moon.
- Head-scratchingly random moments spread throughout.
- Coopa is a human being instead of a dragon.
+ Actors at least try their best with what they're given.
+ It has that 90's era charm.
+ It's less than 2 hours.
+ Still not as bad as Street Fighter or MK Annihilation.
