Dunno if there's a topic on this yet or not, but what are your opinions on the Super Mario Bros. movies?
I'm watching the live-action one right now, and although the personalities of Mario and Luigi have been switched and the story is only loosely inspired by the games, I look at it as a sci-fi comedy, and I like it.I think it's funny, anyway.

The anime one is a lot better, though. Luigi acts a lot like Wario, but the setting is the actual Mushroom Kingdom, and the story sticks closer to the games. There's a little emotion in there, as well, with Mario's crush on Peach throughout. And the ending was surprising.

So, I enjoy the anime film much more, although the 1993 film is funnier and pretty unpredictable.
