Popcorn Culture - Review: The Super Mario Bros. Movie

The latest attempt to translate the wildly popular game to the big screen - after some notable flops - features a large celebrity voice cast (Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Seth Rogen) and all the characters that fans would expect (Mario and Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Donkey Kong). But it's also been dogged by some criticisms even before its opening, from casting to its general approach, so we weigh up whether this one's a good watch at the cinema, and whether it does justice to its source material.
