Movie Review: An Adventure 65 Million Years In The Making
Summary: 5 Stars
On a remote island called "Dinohatten", a wealthy entrepreneur (King Koopa) and his team of scientists develop a means of bringing dinosaurs to life using DNA, taken from dinosaur blood which has been preserved inside insects encased in amber. King Koopa secretly creates a theme park showcasing these dinosaurs (Koopa Troopas), with dreams of making millions from curious spectators. Before opening the attraction to the public, King Koopa invites two plumbers, Mario and Luigi (the Super Mario Bros.!), and their friend Princess Daisy to experience the park. Hoping to calm anxious investors, King Koopa gives the group full-access to the island.
However, their visit to the park is anything but tranquil, as the park's security system breaks down, King Koopa and the Koopa Troopas break out and take Princess Daisy hostage. It's up to Mario and Luigi to save her and the Mushroom Kingdom from this tyrant. Fortunately for Mario and Luigi, before they went off to battle the Koopa Troopas, they used the secret code that gave them both 99 lives. And they'll need every one of them to defeat the mightiest Koopa Troopa of them all -- Bowser!
First-class special effects, a solid script, and a talented cast help bring the excitement of the video game to life. "The Super Mario Bros." movie is one of the best movies based on a video game -- second only to "Double Dragon".
If you've ever wanted to know the whole story behind the Mario Bros. (is Mario and Luigi's last name "Mario"?), this is the movie is for you!
Movie Review: THEY EFFFFED THIS ONE ALL UP!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you were to ask me about some of the most DISSAPOINTING movie experiences I've ever had, this movie would probably come up pretty quickly. What a SHAM (for lack of a more innapropriate/foul word) this movie was.
Who were the executives who came up with this one? Not only did they get the story all wrong, but they also changed names, certain characters, other characters roles. And then worst of all, they made whatever characters they decided to keep completely lame. Dennis Hopper is a cool actor, but he had no business being King Koopa. King Koopa should have been a giant nasty looking muppet or something. Toad was a PERSON! The f'in Goombas had bodies... whats going on here?
Everybody knows that when it comes to Super Mario Brothers, it's all about the MUSHROOMS? They were no where... oh wait, yeah, they were some disgusting fungus that was eating up the village. But there were no mushroom people! And the princess wasn't even cute? What the EFFFFFFF?
This could have been a terrific low budget gem, had they kept it campy as hell, with muppets and sock puppets, and Captain Lou as Mario. Bob Hoskins was no Mario in my world. Even more so for John Leguizamo as Luigi... where's your mustache jerk? Since when is Luigi Latino?, and HEY, fix your hat. Plus the whole explanation on how Mario was in fact their last name... Mario Mario?... Go back to How-Not-To-Make -A-Retarded-movie 101, gang. You blew it.
Movie Review: Super Mario movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a blast! The action and FX are superb! Now i'll tell you about the characters. #1 Mario, Mario is good and perfect. #2 Luigi, no mustache, but that makes him look better. #3 Daisy, no Peach, but Daisy was always a cooler character in the games then Peach and now she is the damsel in distress. #4 Koopa, okay, they COMPLEATLY MESSED UP KOOPA!! He's supposed to be a dinosaur, but in this film he is a goofy looking guy with a weird looking head. #5 Toad, Toad from what i remember in this movie he's not a mushroom, he's a guy in the city who's turned into a Goomba but he's a good guy. #6 Yoshi, Yoshi is plain adorable! He's not a green dinosaur who leaps around and has a long tounge, he's a baby dinosaur who i'm guessing is a pet for Koopa. He's a hero cause he saved Daisy from Koppa's wife by using the "Yoshi Tounge" move on her. #7 Goomba, Goombas are these big, fat, lizard people that work for Koopa. But one Goomba is nice, Toad. #8 Bob-omb, Yes Bob-omb is in this movie, it is called "The Bomb" and it is just a wind up bomb that walks around and then blows up. There's a lot more characters, but they really aren't old favorates from the Mario games. Overall, this film rocks! I recommend it!Movie Review: Super Mario Bros.
Summary: 5 Stars
A story about two hard working Italian plumber brothers named Mario Mario and Luigi Mario, who befriends a young paleontologist named Daisy. She uncovers a massive find of mysterious new dinosaur bones. While exploring the tunnels where dinosaur fossils lay, saboteurs hired by the Mario Bros. rival businessman, Anthony Scapelli, to break some underground pipes. Meanwhile, in a hidden world called Dino-world, King Koopa's land is running out of water and going through problems so he sends Spike and Iggy to kidnap Daisy! Now the Super Mario Bros. find themselves the only hope to save the Earth from invasion then challenge a diabolical lizard king and they must battle giant reptilian goombas, outwit misfit thugs and undermine sinister scheme by taking over the world. A classic game adapted to a fantasy reality that parallels, is simply brilliant. The rendition of koopa-manhattan is great. The city adds life to this movie, it makes it real in it's own fantastic way. If you love the games and have an open minded imagination, this is a must watch movie.
Movie Review: Always Unreal
Summary: 5 Stars
As I write this review I am listening to the song from this movie by Roxette, "Almost Unreal". Of which I purchaced after watching this movie and re-living what was then my favorite movie of all time as a child! This movie was made before computers were at the level there are now, and for that I believe those who wrote reviews before me owe the producers a little credit for.
What this movie lacks in technicality, it certainly makes up in imagination, the worst (Yet funny) one-liners, 5-star acting performaces (Look at Dennis Hopper..LMAO!) and overall movie magic from 13 odd years ago.
If you have a vague memory of this movie but used to enjoy it, I'd advise you to buy it, hey at $10 its worth the risk. Chances are you'd enjoy it one way or another. One more thing, the goomba's look hilarious and I thought the producers take of the goomba character was highly original and thoughtful, compared to just cut and pasting everything from the game.
The Super Mario Bros, get into it!
