SUPER MARIO BROS X SOURCE CODE MOVIE
The movie however is most of the time a bit too childishly told and the dialogs are below par and too simple. Remember folks, that it was 1993 when this movie was released. The movie however has some good and convincing looking early special effects. Same goes for the costumes and most of the make-up effects. All of the sets are disappointing, small and unimaginative looking. All of the sets are dark which was perhaps not the greatest atmospheric mood for the story and the entire movie in general. Unlike the games, the movie is a dark one. Other well known actors in the movie are Fiona Shaw, Gianni Russo (Carlo Rizzi from the first two The Godfather movies) and Lance Henriksen in a very small cameo role. He gives the movie a certain extra fun and flair. Dennis Hopper also is in his element as the ruthless, over-the-top, stereotyped villain King Koopa. Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo are the Mario brothers and they form a pretty good main duo. This is probably mainly due to the well known cast. All of the characters are pretty entertaining and work out well in the movie.
SUPER MARIO BROS X SOURCE CODE SERIES
If the main characters were, let's say, some average Manhattan plumbers named the William's brothers and the entire movie wasn't based on a series of video games, than perhaps the movie would had received a far better reception and would had entertained and reached a wider audience. I mean, the story and setting all basically have very little to do with the games but when you just have to judge the story, it's a pretty good and well thought out one. The story is wonderfully adventurous and it all is very childishly simple constructed. Kids will most likely like this movie best. No, it's not a GREAT movie but it does serve its purpose and that is to provide the viewer with 104 minutes of mindless, simple entertainment.
However, when one has to look at this movie with a fair and unbiased view, one has to come to the conclusion that this movie is good decent entertainment. The atmosphere, settings and characters are totally different, which is probably the main and also only reason why this movie was and still is hated among so many all over the world. However when one sees this movie, it becomes pretty obvious early on that this movie has almost nothing to do with the Super Mario video games. Basically everyone from the '70's, 80's and 90's generation grew up with playing Nintendo games and the Super Mario games in particular. This movie is much hated practically everywhere and of course I can understand why.
