who like the super mario bros.movie
 
who here like super mario bros.the movie?

Gremlin 03-06-2004 07:29 AM

I do, not because it's a good movie in any sense and not because it's got anything to do with Mario at all but because it's so damn cool, those Goombas must be one of the coolest characters ever made.

And we have Dennis Hopper as king koopa, that just rules :)

That Matt Guy 03-06-2004 07:48 AM

I don't know, it was just too stupid for me.

Demonfox38 03-06-2004 08:27 AM

It was alright, but they sure screwed up the characters. :lol:

I loved the raptor Yoshi, though!! :P

Stone Ill 03-06-2004 09:02 AM

Well, it sucked.

Raven 03-06-2004 09:36 AM

i liked it

Jo Dawn 03-06-2004 09:40 AM

I didn't think it was that bad. I liked it.

jeff the cheff 03-06-2004 09:46 AM

I need to see it again to judge it.

Dane E5R 03-06-2004 10:00 AM

Heh, I actually like it because it's terrible. Strange, eh?

cqb101 03-06-2004 10:51 AM

Meh, it's ok.....

Anarchistguy 03-06-2004 11:37 AM

It's just as bad as the Street Fighter movie. Video game movies have this reputation to SUCK (Except Mortal Kombat 1)

host_punktmy 03-06-2004 11:42 AM

well the only good game to movies wer Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within although it did lack something. It was good but would have worked better as a game, or if they had gotten an experienced film director to help.

um.... what else is there?Mortal Kombat was ok

Tomb Raider just plain suced, as did the second one. Am I forgetting any other ones? I know I missed something.

Wasn't the Mario movie with Bob hoskins? He is a great actor, but the movie was stupid anyway.

Well, Mortal Kombat 1 sucked too, but at least it was not boring.

That's precisely what I meant.

Dane E5R 03-06-2004 12:41 PM

Actually, I've always thought Bob Hoskins was perfect casting for Mario. He looked and sounded a lot like him, based on the american cartoons. The rest of the cast was pretty much a hit and miss. The Goombas are perhaps the most ridiculous inaccuracy.. They're the complete opposite of what they're supposed to be! Big heads with tiny bodies! If it were up to me, I'd have called them Koopa Troopas.. That would have worked so much better. And they could have little Goombas on leashes and such.. I'm tellin' ya, I could've hooked this movie up. I've got so many ideas on what they should change to get it right.

ZariusTwo 03-06-2004 04:20 PM

Mortal Kombat 1 did NOT suck, it's an example of how to do video game movies RIGHT, Mortal Kombat: Annihalation was a pathetic film though.

Meira-Bates 03-06-2004 07:55 PM

I thought it was ok, in that MST3K-able sorta way, same with Street Fighter. Mortal Kombat 2 was horrible, Mortal Combat was pretty good. Parasite Eve is ok...when you remember it's NOT based off the game and aren't expecting lots of cool action sequences and explosions and the like. I've already given my opinon on other video game movies.

Barkworm 03-06-2004 11:31 PM

It wasn't that bad, it's just that it doesn't have a lot in common with Mario. As for video game movies it was one of the better ones, definitely not as bad as "Streetfighter".

considering that, as of lately, most of Square's games have been movies with gameplay... *cough* yeah, moving on ;).

<rant>
I hate this movie. GOOMBAS ARE LITTLE MUSHROOMS, NOT GIANT FREAKY THINGS. *pantpant* Okay, now that that's outta my system >_>.

And the chick in the red suit was supposed to be a koopa? WTF d00d?

And Yoshi is GREEN not BROWN/BLACK people, common. Like a green dinosaur would have been so outta place in a movie where people are turned in to giant freaky things?

</rant>

heh.. I have to agree on that.. and yeah i easily could have made it better as well.. and by no stretch of the imagination is it a GOOD movie.. it WAS however entertaining.

J Legault 03-07-2004 03:00 PM

It's good, the writers of it didn't seem like they never played the games or know what bowser or the goombas looked like. But i give it best for spin-off of a video game.

The props I like are the electric power car, rocket repeled boots, and ofcourse the evolution machine. :wink:

Demonfox38 03-07-2004 03:03 PM

Lol, remember that one scene where they found Princess Daisy's (why she wasn't Peach, I'll never truly understand) dad? Dude, that was such a mess! Blarg! It was like someone blew up a gremlin!

Dontebell 03-07-2004 04:25 PM

peach was called daisy in super mario land in gameboy.

愛 03-07-2004 05:32 PM

I liked it. All I need to say.

True it wasn't until Daisy became a more active charater till the release of Mario Tennis. Now she's appearing in the Newer Mario parties, golf, kart and some other extra Mario games.
