Aside from Jack Black's scene-stealing Bowser, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is harmless, marketable Illumination slop. At least there are no Minions. rockmarooned's review:
is that it somehow took nearly 30 years to arrive. The signature Nintendo video game has been around for longer, and some of its characters longer still, but a misbegotten seemed to salt the earth where more Fire Flowers could have grown. Six live-action Batmen, three live-action Spider-Men, and two James Bonds have cycled through movie screens, all in the time it took for Mario and Luigi to find an animated 1UP mushroom.
The initial set-up isn’t all that dissimilar from the 1993 film, which also began with plumbing rivalries, portals beneath Brooklyn, and a delightfully unhinged scene-stealer cast as Bowser. But directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic quickly make it clear that there will be no funny business in terms of reinterpreting these characters, and only a little bit of funny business in terms of giving them good jokes or memorable quirks.
