Super Mario Bros.

A film so reviled that it nearly spelled Game Over for the careers of all caught up finally comes to Blu-ray, giving us all the chance to watch the infamously terrible game adaptation in high definition. Er… Yay?

Swapping the blue skies of the games for a dark tale with confused fantasy/sci-fi elements, the movie marks a tragic blemish for the late, splendid Bob Hoskins’ CV and is a mess of PG sensibilities and overblown production design. Watching someone play the game for two hours would be more enjoyable than this Yoshi tosh.
