Let's talk about the infamous live action Super Mario Bros movie. Elephant in the room... as an adaptation, the movie is about as far removed from it's source material as it can be. And while that might, understandably, rub fans of the games the wrong way, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad movie.
