The Super Mario Bros. Movie Review

In his review 2 out of 5-star review of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, ComicBook critic Patrick Cavanaugh said the following: 

In the years since the original Super Mario Bros. game was released back in the '80s, the overall-wearing plumber has arguably become the most iconic figure in the history of console gaming. Mario himself has the same global recognition of Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny, while supporting characters like Luigi, Peach, and Bowser are all icons in their own right. Despite that notoriety, the concept has failed to make a significant attempt at exploring other mediums, as the dozens of games featuring the characters that have been released over the years have perfected the appeal of the entire Nintendo roster. The Super Mario Bros. Movie attempts to embrace the appeal of Mario and his mushroom-fueled antics, and while younger audiences and Nintendo devotees are sure to appreciate the slapstick humor and references to all corners of Mario's legacy, the film is nothing more than a delivery system for those nods.
