I just finished watching it, and after getting past the Mario connections, the movie's actually not bad at all. It has some neat costumes, neat animatronic stuff, and Dennis Hopper. John and Bob do pretty well with what they were given too.

 

[A Link to the Past]

No one wants to talk about a secretly not bad movie? =0

 

[shadyspace]

The only thing I ever really hated about it was how fucking stupid Yoshi's design was. The jump boots were cool.

 

[Broder Salsa]

No it's actually pretty bad, I don't want to discuss it any further than that and I don't respect your opinion.

 

[Neo Child]

its a pretty entertaining action flick with lots of cool references

i dig it

open the door

get on the floor

 

[depths20XX]

Isn't that bad when compared to what? Getting your fingernails ripped out?

 

[Ferrio]

It's horrible. Sorry dad for dragging you to that. That and The Wizard.

yeah, they ruined yoshi.

but then nintendo ruined him themselves, so...

goddammit.

SMW/SMW2 Yoshi 4 lyfe

When I was like three, I used to walk up to the toilet and I was just tall enough to lay my dick on the lip of the toilet and go pee without hanging on to it. One day the toilet seat fell and smashed my poor peeper. That was less painful than watching the entire SMB movie.

 

[Minus_Me]

I enjoy it for what it is, but this is a masterstroke of hilarity.

Mario Mario: This can't be Manhattan.
Luigi Mario: I don't know, I haven't been to Manhattan in a couple weeks.
Mario Mario: Must have been a bad couple of weeks.

 

[Moppeh]

It's fucking awful. The design decisions make no goddamn sense.

 

[adj_noun]

Poor Bob Hoskins.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

It's terrible.

But just because it's bad, doesn't mean it's not also entertaining. It's a good bad film. I enjoy watching it, but that doesn't make it not terrible by any stretch of the imagination.

I had a crush on Princess Daisy.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Eh, it's pretty bad.

Enjoyably bad, perhaps. But still.

What is it with Off Topic today and trying to convince me bad movies are good? First this and now Alien 3

 

[entremet]

Even my younger and uncultured self knew it was bad. I saw in the theatres.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Nope, the movie is pretty bad. Even as a kid, my brother took me to the theaters to see it and I left disappointed.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I remember being so hyped for this as a kid. My dad must have looked like this after the showing:

Terrible film.

 

[Zombie James]

No, it's fucking bad.

 

[dark_prinny]

Dennis Hopper should have use the line from Blue Velvet with Daisy.

" LET´S FUUUUCK, I´LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOVES!. HAHAHAHAHAHA "

No, it's fucking bad.

I just want to point out that while you may have good reason to think it's bad, that argument has nothing to do with the quality of the film and everything to do with authenticity to its source material :v

EDIT: It's certainly got a lot of its value from "so bad it's good" stuff, but I feel that people overlook some of its neat things just because it's such a bad Mario flick.

What is it with Off Topic today and trying to convince me bad movies are good? First this and now Alien 3

...What if I told you that Batman and Robin had an entertaining quality to it?

 

[ElTopo]

It's a POS.

The rifftrax is pretty good though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yjm8K93u4Y

And I don't want to hear anyone talking shit about Alien 3. That's a good film and doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the Mario Bros. movie.

SMB is better

 

[Lijik]

Without the Mario connections its a kind of average run of the mill 90s adventure flick, with the Mario connections its an enjoyable bizarre trainwreck.

Did you guys know the internal name for the artstyle of the movie was "The New Brutalism"? Its so hilarious to me someone saw Mario Bros on the NES and went "You know what this needs? A take on new york so gritty and surreal we have to come up with a new term for it - get me the Max Headroom people!"

 

[120v]

in retrospect an acid trip 90s steampunk mario is kind of cool in its own way

you really cant do live action mario without being absurdly bad so may as well go all out right

 

[terrisus]

It was a "'90s" kind of movie.

 

[Sephzilla]

no, this movie's actually bad

 

[Zeppu]

Pixar would make an amazing Super Mario Bros movie.

 

[adj_noun]

I have to admit, I still get excited when I see the poster. I know what it is, but I can't help it. Lil' me was all over this movie.

Same with the first TMNT. That was actually pretty good, though.

 

[Zeyphersan]

One of my best friends argues that all the time.

 

[Currygan]

It was godawful. The best part was Bob Hoskins' amazing rant, bless his soul

 

[King Boo]

i really liked the movie. wish they made a sequel, but it's too late for that
