Super Mario Bros: The movie

[ChEEbA]

Ok, so I saw this once...decided to make a thread since I'll be getting the dvd off some ebay supplier soon, so yeah.

From what I remember, it was pretty good...I mean, not a film to take seriously or anything, and I WAS young, but it was good fun, quite funny, and had an interesting alternative reality kinda deal goin' on.
Anyways, I enjoyed it, and rate it as one of the best videogame movies made, however early.

Anyone see it?

...oh well, guess I'll never know. Damn you and your non-talkative ways! DAMN THEM!


Awful movie, waste of a good cast

The only thing I remember from that movie was that Smantha Mathis was in it, and at the time i thought she was a real cutie...

[urgeok]

[The_Return]

I looked up when this came out....I guess I must have seen it not long after, I know I was really young when I saw it. At the time, I loved it....but Id like to see it again soon, damn Blockbuster doesnt have it...

what the fuck? I can see Dennis Hopper as Mario. that would be super fucked up.

[IDrinkYourBlood]

the movie blew the big one. it was hardly mario at all.

Despite all the shit being slung allover the movie, I still liked it.
I saw it last when I was about 14, so, perspective may have changed a little, but I'm sure I'd still find it at least entertaining, if only for a laugh.

As for it being "hardly mario", somehow, I figure that if all the powerups, ghosts, power flowers, giant "jaws" bullets that were in the game went into the movie, people would be saying it was even more stupid than they are now.
Should I go on to mention the biting bombs, the stars with faces on 'em, the shrooms, the hammer throwin' jockey getup wearin' turtles, the happy-happy music, jumping sound effects...etc? or do you kinda get where I'm goin' with this?

Sure, I know the acting wasn't great (considering hoskins and hopper were in it), and the storyline and characters deviated somewhat from the game, but...what videogame based movie DOESN'T that describe?

I liked it, this I know...that's all I'm saying. I'll get back to this after viewing it again.

It should have been a cartoon. Live action versions of cartonney things are usually pretty revolting (Ever see the flinstones movie? I would rather eat shards of glass in battery acid....)


However, i loved the incredibles.

[tachii]

i don't care
i still like the movie

[gordytheghoul]

Ya, what is this doing on a horror website. It's about horror films, not horrible films. Also, THE INCREDIBLES sucks. And Samantha Mathis is still a cutie, see the short-lived TV show HARSH REALM or last year's SALEM'S LOT if you need a fix.

It's about horror films, not horrible films.

Wow, clever pun...:rolleyes:
Allow me to explain this clearly freakish occurence.
See, I put this in modern "horror" movies, as there's no
"modern movies of all kinds" thread, and I figured that if everyone talked about movies of ALL kinds in general, then general would simply be FULL of movie threads too...no doubt SOMEONE would want to complain about that too.
Then again, there's always people that want to complain about any non-horror topics posted anywhere in a site (judging by what you just said, I'd say, people like YOU)...I figure I can't win, so, instead I choose not to give a fuck.
Here at horror.com, we don't have many resident forum nazis, not even the mods are quite that uptight...I think that since this movie has been discussed in both a positive and negative manner, and brought about some amount of conversation, that's a plus for the forum, if you disagree...feel free to voice your concerns to the moderation - go see what they say, before you decide to try and trash my thread on the basis of petty bullshit...and if they don't give a fuck either, you're outta luck I guess.:(

And...don't diss The Incredibles unless you've got something more to say about it than "it sucks".

Vod, I think it would have worked better as a cartoon too...on many occasions, I've thought they couldve made a whole series of films such as this...I know they had the cartoon series, but yknow, something less kiddy would've been nice.
I also hated the Flintstones movie, simply because the humour had stepped down from what it was in the cartoon upon which it was based, a cartoon made some ?15-20? years before it...not to mention....Fred got angry in the cartoon, and quite easily...JG did not, in any way embody that part of the character.

I'm still looking foward to seeing the SMB movie again, even if only to reminisce...I aint going into it expecting a masterpeice, but the strange quirky film I remember it to be.

give one single reason .... one reason at all to justify that statement ..

if you dont like animation .. than you dont like it ... that doesn't mean it sucks ..

if you're going to fly in the face of a movie that has the respect of everyone .. critics, public, alternative film fans alike ....

then have a reason that makes sense ...



i cant wait to hear why it sucked..

"Because I like to be contrary. I hate anything that is popular."

I figured i would speak for him, seeing as how he definately doesnt deserve to do his own talking (because you are a moron,gordy. See? a reason.)
