5 of the worst video game movies part 3

Super Mario Bros
In all fairness to this film I actually really enjoyed it and if it was on tonight I would probably go a little out of my way to watch it.
Better casting for Mario you could not ask for! Bob Hoskins is perfect for Mario Mario (not a typo). I will credit the producers for not forcing a ridiculously thick Italian accent onto the Mario brothers. It was an interesting take on the whole Mario Bros thing. Making Yoshi a serious dinosaur instead of a colourful little cartoon dinosaur was interesting. But the main thing that makes this film for me is the Goombahs and the Babombs.
The Goombas swaying to the elevator music because all species like to dance and the Reebok symbol on the bottom of the Bob-omb were hilarious. A Roxette soundtrack song and Fisher Stevens to boot this has the makings of a cult film.
Enough of the love-in though.
This is not a good film. It sways from super serious to super ridiculous in an unnatural fashion. I don’t know if I liked Dennis Hopper either. It’s really hard to put my finger on why it’s bad but I know it is!!!

I didn’t see this until a couple years ago, and looking back I don’t think I made it all the way through because it was so awful.

After thinking about your comment I’m left wondering whether or not I would actually sit through this film again!?
