The fascinating aspect of The Super Mario Bros Movie is that the various obstacles, power-ups and other factors unique to the video game have been incorporated as plot points in the film. The characters are very interesting and the finale is exhilarating. Sadly, the humour is limited and the plot is too simplistic and very predictable. Chris Pratt’s voiceover is nothing special and should have stood out. Jack Black stands out as the voice of Bowser. The voiceovers by Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Seth Rogen, Keegan-Michael Key and Fred Armisen are fair. All in all, The Super Mario Bros Movie is a decent watch. Fans of the video game will surely trip on this flick.

My rating - *** out of 5!
