filmschoolrejects.com — If the odds aren’t good for a movie based video games, the odds are even lower for a good video game based movie. We’ll be honest, you’ve got a better chance of getting struck by lightning in your homemade Mario costume while you’re getting it on with Angelina Jolie in her full Lara Croft outfit.

Ill digg you up. Even though I am not excited for a wonder woman movie, they should let Lena Headey be in whatever she wants.

Street fight movie has somewhat become a "so-bad-its-good" kind of movie now.

I agree totally. It was more a movie about two characters with the same names as those in a video game and a plethora of cameos from the video games. It was a very cyberpunk look at the Mushroom Kingdom. For those that looked "beyond the game" with the movie it was actually very enjoyable.It has a fairly unique story that actually explains a bit about why there are dinosaurs without being so super unrealistic like the game. It's actually probably fairly scientific in a "what if" sense. What if dinosaurs never went extinct? Well they (might) become smart. There wouldn't be any/many mammals. Primitive dinosaurs would be running around with highly evolved dinosaurs. Kind of like what we see today with animals.You have the normal animals like cats, and dogs. Then you have "almost human" animals like Chimps and the Great Apes.In any case the movie was set in a post-apocalyptic Mushroom Kingdom where water is nearly non-existent. Bad thing are bound to go down when that happens.It has tons of cameos. Like the Super Shoes, the Mushrooms, the Bomb-ombs, Yoshi, Goombas, and a whole lot more if you actually look.The sets were AMAZING in any sense of the word. These are some of the best Cyberpunk sets I've ever seen.The acting was for the most part good. This is also IMO the best that John Leguizamo has ever done.Also this is what spawned Daisy as being "Luigi's Princess"Not to mention the way they worked "Mario Brothers" to actually work in a real sense, and a humor sense. I really don't see how anyone could complain about it other than "It's not like the game!"You can't deny how much the movie actually influenced the flow of the game franchise.

"Greatest Movie Ever" podcast loved the performance, so now you have one person supporting it.

You're forgetting that video game movies are made for nerds, who are the world's most judgmental people.I mean, basing a movie off most games' storylines, it's not like you're going to be coming across any interesting characters or storylines. All you have left are the nerds... and nerds are never happy with anything!
