Almost Unreal: Why the Super Mario Bros. Movie Is Good, Actually
158WARNING: Flashing lights are present in the first minute or so of this video.
There are few genres of films more maligned than that of video game adapations, and it's difficult to argue with that sentiment. Most are little more than attempts to cash on a particular game's popularity, and often feel like watching someone else play the game.
But the 1993 film adaptation of Super Mario Bros. is something else entirely. No one made any effort to be faithful to the games, and the result is a bizarre, surreal, and thoroughly enjoyable cinematic experience.
