This movie opens with the title card “Brooklyn, 65 million years ago,” then has a scene of a dinosaur egg being delivered to a bunch of nuns. Later on a woman sincerely introduces the heroes to her father, a giant ball of sentient fungus. Anyway 3 stars. A fun time.
Patrick WillemsFeb 20, 2020Yes, this is my actual rating of this film. No, I will not elaborate.

absolutely nothing could have prepared me for the scene where the twin towers evaporated
jeabaSuper Mario Bros. is a masterpiece of adaptation. Now, when I say that, I don’t mean that it adapted Mario faithfully, of course not. What it did do, was turn Mario into something cinematic. Hot take: Mario is antithetical to cinema. It is inherently anti-cinema as a…

This movie has no idea if it wants to be a dark dystopian comedy or a fun upbeat kids movie. This is a very bad, very messy movie that makes absolutely no sense and bears very little resemblance to the actual Super Mario Bro’s games. But it’s also really entertaining.
Ryan DanielJan 6, 2021WE’RE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE PREDICTED 9/11😭😭😭TRUST THE FUNGUS😭😭😭🙏
phoebeeeNov 15, 2014I would bet a serious amount of money that if this wasn't called Super Mario Bros there would be a lot of goodwill towards this flick. Excellent set design, quirky direction and a sense of fun are what make this such a beloved film to me. I don't care if everyone in the…

- Dyl likedSuper Mario Bros.
It was actually pretty good other than the fact the goombas as looked like my friends
Path likedSuper Mario Bros.Really weird. Not what you wanted, but it is what nobody needed. Great movie for laughing at and being confused. Also, it predicted 9/11.
DL Cooper lovedSuper Mario Bros.Campy, bonkers video game fare at its finest. Smacks of its time in the best of ways.
- Kat is "meh" onSuper Mario Bros.
Ngl so bad it’s good kinda vibes. Really goofy
Gamer2010 watched_neutraldSuper Mario Bros.Still an absolute cult classic.
Morgan dislikedSuper Mario Bros.no
- Ultimo_Joe lovedSuper Mario Bros.
I’m not gonna lie, when I heard there was an animated Mario movie coming out, I decided to go and watch the live action one everyone was telling me to avoid. I gotta say I love this movie. Not because of the quality. But because of how bad the quality is. It’s so bad it’s funny!
SpindlyMan likedSuper Mario Bros.“Strap your belt on kid, we’re going in.” As an attempt to bring Mario to the big screen, it sucks bad. But if you disassociate it from the games, it’s not bad. The world they built is dystopian cyberpunk perfection. The story and dialogue are cheesy but it’s still a fun watch.
Anthony likedSuper Mario Bros.I know, I know. This one is not good. Like at all. Toad and King Koopa are creept. Yoshi looks straight outta Jurassic Park. And to top it off, they used Daisy instead of Princess Peach? The audacity! But little me didn’t know better and liked it and kinda still do. Sue me

Metacritic
This bizarre, special effects-filled movie doesn't have the jaunty hop-and-zap spirit of the Nintendo video game from which it takes -- ahem -- its inspiration. What it has instead are a weird, jokey science-fiction story, Batman-caliber violence and enough computer-generated dinosaurs to get the jump on Jurassic Park.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
The movie knocks your eyes out, at the same time it dulls the mind’s eye. Ultimately, it’s one more stop in the arcade, beckoning, waiting to soak up time and money.
Michael Wilmington
Los Angeles Times
The first film to be adapted from rather than into a Nintendo cartridge, Super Mario Bros, is a shrill, hectic and tiresome fantasy with little story, less excitement and no imaginable audience.
