Aha another video game movie... which has little relation to the actual game. Evolved dinosaurs led by the maniacal King Koopa (
Dennis Hopper) exist in a parallel dimension. Koopa wants to merge the dimension with our own so he can conquer our world with his (to be honest pretty cool) dinosaur tech. However, Daisy (
Samantha Mathis) holds the key in the form of a crystal. Can Koopa get his hands on Daisy and the crystal. Bumbling plumbing brothers Mario (
Bob Hoskins) and Luigi (
John Leguizamo) are there to stop him... eventually.
A silly film though the world building is pretty well done, a world of trolley wire powered police cars, rocket boots and guns that can de-evolve creatures.
It is terrible, though has it's moments and can entertain. The film has plenty of comedy packed into it though much of the comedy does backfire. The film goes on a little too long and the plot meanders too much. The characters ham it up like a pantomine, though it makes less sense.
