love this movie

i'm so very happy that i've got this movie now. i saw it when i was little, i liked it, and even now i always remembered it and wanted to get it. i know that it doesn't go exactly like the games do, but that doesn't matter to me. there's times when they can't make movies/shows based off of games or books the way they should be, so i'm ok with this. Yoshi did look weird *even back then i thought he looked weird* but hey, it was still funny.

Super!

You will love this movie. It has such an involving plot. Iv'e never seen any movie like this before! Mario and luigi meet soemone named daisy. She is kidnapped by henchman working for the evil koopa king and taken to a parrelel demension because she has a rock that allows him to rule both demensions! Mario and Luigi must save her in their biggest adventure yet (there's more to the plot than that)! ITS A BLAST!

An underrated Video Game-based movie

I got this VHS at a Walgreens about six or seven years ago. The first time I watched this video I was six years old living in Japan and frankly my opinion has not changed to this day as it is a perfect example of a cult classic.
My review:
Picture quality: Good for 1993, CGI effects at the time would be considered state-of-the-art
Acting: Surprisingly good, with the acting being decent (a little-overdone) with funny lines
Music /Sound: SMB original theme can be heard at the start. I find the soundtrack catchy while sound-effects from previous Mario games playing in the background
Plot: A Human-Dino race from a another dimension in a city known as "Dinohattan" thrive as their diabolical Dictator King Koopa plots the conquest of our dimension by obtaining a piece of meteorite in order to merge our dimension with theirs from a young lady by the name of Daisy (The lost princess, whose father, the Fungus King was overthrown by Koopa) - whom has come into contact with two struggling-for-money Plumbers Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. And as Luigi and Daisy's romance heats up, Koopa sends out his near-dimwitted thug cousins: Ignatius "Iggy" Koopa and Spikeosaurus "Spike" Koopa to kidnap her and so they succeed, along with five other Brooklyn girls - thus Mario and Luigi cross the dimensional bridge to save the girls and would eventually get involved to stop Koopa once and for all...
Best of all: One way to get Mario Syndrome, Mario references a plenty and abundant (Thwomp station, Bullet Bill's diner, Hammer Bros.' Tattoos, Big Bertha - the Bouncer at the Boom-Boom Bar, and among others)
Get this on DVD or VHS, cause' face it: You're gonna get hooooooked on to the Brothers!

Plain fun!

I first saw this movie when I was about eight years old. I was a big Mario fan back then, loved him, Luigi, the games and the genre to bits; and let me tell you, to see this movie for the first time was thrilling. I didn't even care if King Koopa was in the form of a human or not, or that Yoshi wasn't green. All I could think was "Oh gosh, that's them! It's the Mario Brothers, and King Koopa!" (Squeal, squeal.) I guess the point I'm making is that it did a pretty nice job of real-world reinterpretation. There's so many things I like about the movie that I don't even want to take the time to type all of it out.
The reason that it only has four stars instead of five, despite how I've always loved it, is that it isn't in fact the best movie I've ever seen. It's among my favorites, yes, but it doesn't make my eyes pop out quite as much as it did back when I was a serious Mario gamer (and a child).

The opening scene with the cartoon dinosaurs was a bit silly, and I think the film could have done well enough without it. The scene where King Koopa turns into the Tyrannosaurus of his ancestry was plain too short, as well as King Koopa himself... I mean, the bottom half of his body must have been two feet tall for him to fit so well in that crane bucket. There was also no real threat involved: the bucket was quite a ways away from Mario at the time, and Koopa couldn't have jumped over if he'd tried.

Also, the inhabitants of Dinohattan could have had more reptilian features, even as small as those scales that you see on one or two of them early on. (And yes, I do remember that weird guy who is practically a walking lizard, even down to his delighted growl of pleasure at the smell of a piece of food he's holding in his hands.) I'm not saying go all-out with tails and claws, but let's stay a little more faithful to their dino ancestry.

Oh yes, and another small detail that keeps the movie from sitting among my mental list of Best Movies of All Time: humans apparently being descended from monkeys. That's one detail that I simply cannot wrap my suspension of disbelief around. Apes, monkeys and humans descended from a common ancestor, if evolution scientists haven't determined wrongly.

Anyway, just to end my review up on a positive note: my favorite characters are...
Mario, Big Bertha, The Old King, Yoshi, Iggy, Spike, and Daisy. Peace!
