In fact, apparently they sucked just the right amount: more than enough that no-one actually LIKED them, but not quite enough they got a cult following who liked them "ironically" for being the worst movie ever made. Or at any rate, I don't know if that's true, but I'd literally forgotten anyone even tried to make a mario movie :)
Which is a shame, because I agree it was PROBABLY going to be a disaster, but a Mario that had the cheery-but-scary vibe of the game could be quite a good story if someone with a clear creative vision got to make it up.
