    Not Great, Though Still Better Than -Most- Videogame Movies.

    This is one of those films where it's more fun to hear about how it was created than actually watching it.

    It's not as bad as people like to think, so let's just hope in the future they give the same sort of love to a Mario movie as they did for Mortal Kombat, or even Sonc.
