Seth Rogen Calls SUPER MARIO BROS 1993. Movie ‘One of the Worst Movies Ever Made’

Seth Rogenthe actor who voices Donkey Kong The Super Mario Bros. Movierecently shared his thoughts on the live-action original Super Mario Bros. 1993 film adaptation. The actor calls it one of the worst movies ever made! Speaking to Variety, he said:

“When I was 11, I saw the original Mario Bros. movie and I was so excited. But it’s one of the worst movies ever made. I was so disappointed. I think it made me realize that movies can be bad. It never happened me until then.”

Discussing the recent animated film he stars in, Rogen added, “It’s nice to know that the 11-year-olds out there…they won’t be as disappointed as I am.”

I think Rogen was too hard on that original Super Mario Bros. movie. That movie is so damn weird and unique! I’ve never seen anything like this before. He did something very different. Yes, it wasn’t the best representation or adaptation of the game it was based on, but it was a journey nonetheless!

When I saw that movie as a kid, I’ll admit, I was pretty confused by what I’d just seen because it was nothing like the game. But it was fun to watch! Revisiting the movie years later as an adult is fun because then you see how crazy this movie was!

I mean, the movie starred Bob Hoskins, John LeguizamaAND Dennis Hopper as King Koopa! Then you have all those crazy costumes and special effects and settings. In the film, Mario and Luigi travel to another dimension to save a princess from the evil dictator King Koopa and stop him from taking over the world.

The film was a critical and commercial failure, grossing just $38.9 million at the box office on a reported $42 million budget, and has Nintendo ever attempted to make another feature film again… until now with The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

What do you think of the former Super Mario Bros. movie? Do you think it’s one of the worst movies ever made?
