The Super Mario Bros. Movie outplayed the competition worldwide. As of this writing, it’s the highest grossing video game adaptation movie of all time. Being a fan of the franchise since its inception, I truly wanted to love this film. It would have required so little effort. Yet I exited the theater inexplicably indifferent from the experience.

Super Mario is quite possibly the most famous video game character ever created. The cute little adventurous and brave plumber has struck a chord for Nintendo fans since the 1980s. Countless video games and toys have been produced as well as a pretty awful live action movie. Indeed, the love for this history making franchise character continues to endure. Hence, the new upcoming animated film from Nintendo and Illumination based on the world of Super Mario Bros. aptly titled “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.”
