I still don't know how they screwed that movie up so bad.

They used virtually none of the source aside from character names. That being said, I'm not really sure where a Super Mario Bros movie ever could have gone.

I have seen it one time with friends. It was at least more fun to watch than that Street Fighter movie with Van Damme.

We were kinda drunk when we saw it though.

Saw it on VHS the week it came out with my cousin, whose mom used to buy it everything he wanted.

I had heard it sucked, but I didn't care. I wanted to see it! It couldn't be that bad, right? I was 12, I'd still enjoy it.

I was wrong. We watched it and when it over, he asked me if I wanted the movie to keep it. Said no, and he traded the movie off the next week.

Only time I ever watched it, with no desire to see it one more time

I don't know how either?

Plumbers get sucked down magical sewer pipes to another world, they meet the princess who promises to try and help them get back, they get to know and like each other, she gets kidnapped by talking lizard king bowser koopa, they head off to parts unknown with toad, they beat up bad guy and rescue princess toadstool. The end.

Apparently following simple laid out plots is too difficult for Hollywood.

I like it. It's not a good movie, but it's fun.

It has such a bizarre and unique aesthetic. It really comes off as more of an absurdist parody of super mario than a proper adaptation. A proper adaptation probably should have been animated. I don't know why they thought a live action super mario movie was a good idea... especially without Lou Albano.

I'm willing to bet this movie is still going to be more fun than the new one though...

It could have worked without Albano. There were plenty of reasons why this movie was/is shit however.

Straying so far from the source material didn't help at all. The writing was awful. The directors couldn't direct effectively. Some of the stars hated being there, with Hoskins and Hopper being the most vocal about how much they hated the movie

With Albano, it still would have been shit. Just too many problems to overcome

According to the video, the reason they strayed so far away from the source material was they wanted to make it their own. Which was the mistake. They should have stuck to the original script. And closer to the source material. Any changes they made should have been changes to make it like the game...

That being said, the new movie might not be so bad. They are going to animation, which is probably how it should have been, anyway...

Though, I wonder how it will turn out...

Yeah, I guess I was implying more just the general idea of a live action mario movie, regardless of who directed it, it would have been better to use Albano. Obviously, if they replaced Hoskins with Albano in this movie, it wouldn't have helped much.

It's being made by Illumination, the studio behind the minions... So I wouldn't expect much from it.

Then itll probably be aimed at children. So, a kid movie. Though, kids like minions, so they may like it...

The problem is, even if you ignore every possible reference to the games, and treat it as a separate entity of its own, that isn't meant to be an adaptation of the games, it's still pretty much shit.

The problems of the movie go far, far, far beyond how faithful or not it is as an adaptation.
