The reasoning for straying so far from the game is so stupid.



Around the Network

Putting it another way, how could you, in the early 90s, do an honest interpretation of Mario?

I like that concept that the films tell the true story and that the games are a child friendly retelling, adjusted to allow for gameplay. That allows for a smart film.

Just a pity that a smart film isn't what came out in the end.



How do you create a movie about a game where the story boils down to save a princess from a monster?

You do what those long-running story-driven anime do. You make the adventure seem awesome, and pad the entire thing.

See? It ain't that hard.
