Critics Consensus

Despite flashy sets and special effects, Super Mario Bros. is too light on story and substance to be anything more than a novelty.

I prefer a film that takes risks over inane projects. [Full review in Spanish]

Chicago Tribune

Like their video-game counterparts, co-stars Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo somehow manage to weave their way past threatening obstacles and escape with their dignity.

Rated: 2/4

Philadelphia Inquirer

Scenery rushes by, noise blares, characters pop up wearing new costumes that they couldn't possibly have had time to change into as they eluded their adversaries.

Rated: 1.5/4

...Super Mario Brothers is an origin story, but adds so much detail that any joy of seeing Mario fly is negated by heavy plotting and far too much time spent watching Hopper/Koopa chew the scenery...

Rated: 3/5

IGN Movies

Although the theatrical release is perhaps too narratively disjointed and tonally dissonant to qualify as 'good,' it so proudly brandishes its bonkers, go-for-broke aesthetic, one hesitates to label it entirely 'bad' either.

Hoskins and Leguizamo... are able to sell themselves as the plumbers in large part because of the obvious fact that they both understood the movie was only taking itself but so seriously.
