There was a mario movie once, it had Bob Hoskins in it. He's a good actor, the movie was f'ing awful.

Movies of games don't work because a game plot requires some sort of gameplay to distract from how crap the story generally is.

i agree that the movie was awful, that is why i was talking about a GOOD movie.

but i don't agree that Bob Hoskins is a good Actor, i think he is decent at best.

Bob Hoskins aside, the second part of what I said is why I don't think would ever be a good Mario movie or pretty much any game for that matter. Game stories as well as being pretty shallow, are paced around gameplay. Using mario as an example again, there is so little plot to work with that a movie would just end up being like any other game-movie tie in. You can't make a movie with 80 mins of running through drain pipes and 10 mins of dialogue.
