Super Mario Bros. is a movie based off of the Super Mario Bros. video games. Or at least, that's what they SAY it is. In reality, Super Mario Bros. is a movie that pretends to be Mario. He's what I'm talking about: In the games, the main villain is Bowser, King of the Koopas who wishes to kidnap the Princess and rule the mushroom kingdom. In the movie, the main villain is Koopa, tyrant of a small city in the center of a world-wide desert who wishes to take over the world of man. In the games, a big bertha is a fish. In the movie, Big Bertha is the bouncer at the Boom Boom bar. In the games, Boom Boom is a person. The movie is just a crappy movie that takes Nintendo's names in an attempt to look better. And it fails at that. DO NOT see this movie.

A good movie made bad
12 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
When the first Pokemon Movie was released in Japan, it was an absolute hit. People loved it. When it came to America, thousands saw it and immediately thought it was great. However, upon comparison, the American version (or dub) is horrible. The dub has an anti-fighting kind of thing going on, which is the complete opposite of what Pokemon is. Pokemon is a game in which you have creatures fight each other. The dub also displays Mewtwo as a cold villain who wants nothing less than to take over the earth. The original Mewtwo was nothing like this. The part that I hated the most was what they did to the climax. You have a bunch of Pokémon fighting their own clones, and you play the worst song that has ever been made, "Brother My Brother". A climax is defined as the most exciting part in the movie, so why put the most boring music into the climax!? Overall, the original is a very good movie. And I said original. If you must see it, see it in Japanese. The dub isn't worth spending any amount of money on.
