Look, I love the Super Mario Bros. movie. It, and not Jurassic Park, was the actual highlight of my 1993. I loved every moment of the movie, and my 9 year old brain rationalized every cockamamie decision the filmmakers made. Bowser was a dinosaur? Of course Bowser was a dinosaur. If Bowser existed in real life he would be a dinosaur. They were just being realistic.

With all that being said, and with the caveat that I've only see Sonic the Hedgehog once... yes. Yes, it is a better movie. Not way better. The Mario movie still had a lot of love poured into it, and Bob Hoskins played an amazing Mario. Certainly the music score was better, and the set design and effects are still great today. But the Sonic movie has heart, and a villain you can actually believe in. Mario will always be good, goofy camp, but Sonic the Hedgehog, for all its shortcomings, could still be a half-way decent movie even if they'd replaced Sonic with some original character. And at the end of the day, could you really say the same about Super Mario Bros.

I give Super Mario Bros. two thumbs up.
I give Sonic the Hedgehog two thumbs up... and a toe.
