It's pretty silly to think that just because one Mario movie was bad, all possible Mario movies would be bad.

People were also... 'skeptical' about Hyrule Warriors because of the unmentionable 3 CD-I games. People are just silly like that.

Well I´m not only basing this off the Mario Bros. Movie, there was also that Mario show and the widespread opinion that Video game Movies mostly suck. Do you honestly believe there can be a good (with plot/character development/arc of suspense) Mario movie? I mean without them changing Mario into another "person"?

Also sorry for being silly. I know I shouldn´t do these silly things like forming an opinion based on my experiences in the past.

EDIT: Could I be wrong and this turns out to be a Masterpiece, universally praised by both critics and viewers? Yes I could be, but chances are it won´t be a universally praised masterpiece

Movies based on videogames were abysmal because they were mostly just exploitation movies named after popular franchises. This was a trend in the 80s and 90s, and the Mario TV show also falls into that category. The movie industry changed since then, and the trend stopped after a few critical and commercial failures. 

Movies have always been diverse, and they can be based on almost anything. The audience only expects and demands a certain level of competence and quality. These qualities are arguably more common today than ever. It's silly to assume a Mario or a SSB movie would be lackluster when we nothing about the director and studio, and it's even sillier to dismiss it based on a movie that released just after people were starting to realize Vanilla Ice wasn't cool
