Is it really all that bad?


I haven't seen it years but, I remember how much I liked it as a kid.
A lot of the stuff that I've since watched from when I was a kid I still think most is pretty great when I watch it again. However I did like things like power rangers..
So is this that bad?

Trust me, it's not that bad. And this is coming from someone who has played Mario games for years.

I loved this movie as a kid when it first came out, I used to watch it all the time when it would come on cable. I just watched it on Blu-Ray, first time seeing it in probably 15 years, and it's even better than I remembered. This movie is an absolute masterpiece! I don't mean that ironically, either. It's just so much damn fun. I love the performances from Hoskins, Leguizamo, Hopper, Mojo Nixon... I love the crazy, detailed cyberpunk-kind of sets, the practical in-camera special effects, the early CG, the music, some of the weird dialogue which is actually pretty creative and witty sometimes. It's just hilarious and quite a spectacle of absurd, manic, crazy, weird, totally out there shenanigans. The next closest "family" movie I can think of is the also absurd and totally out there Babe 2: Pig in the City, which I also love.
