In an interview with the Guardian Unlimited, legendary actor Bob Hoskins talks about his life, career, curses like a sailor and more importantly to us, talks about the worst movie he ever did:
He accepts there have been flops, and films he's detested, but that's the nature of the game. "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a f*ckin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! F*ckin' nightmare. F*ckin' idiots."
Wow, a movie director butchering a videogame franchise, that's a shocker. I've only seen it a couple of times when I was really young so I can't exactly remember how horrible the movie really was. Plus, after reading Reverend Anthony's legendary article, Why the Super Mario movie is an under appreciated masterpiece, I don't think I can ever hate this movie.

Oh Noes!!!
They really should make another though. Who wouldn't go see it?
The movie wasn't amazingly bad. It was just bad. Used to like it as a kid though.
But my friend says he's got an original script lying around somewhere that says it could have been alot better. I have not read it, but I heard this movie was hell to work on and that they kept rewriting the script every day.
Still, it wasn't THAT bad of a movie, but it definitely wasn't an amazing one either.
for the record i actually kind of liked this movie... then again it has been awhile
