Based on one of the most popular video games in history (Thanks to John Romero and John Carmack they practically invented the 3D first-person shooter genre), this movie is crap. One of the worst movies ever made.

And although the heroes are two actors of great fame and reputation today (The Rock and Karl Urban) The movie just aroused curiosity and received a lot of criticism.. If you do, it’s at your own risk.

• Title:Apocalypse
• Release date: 2005

Super Mario Brothers.

It is in this unknown universe where Daisy resides and the siblings will have to travel there to save her. Do you look familiar? That’s right, we’re talking about the first (and last) live-action adaptation of the famous Super Mario Bros.

Nintendo made sure that it would never have such a product name again. It scored 2.9 on Filmaffinity, which makes it the worst movie ever made about video games.. Honestly, it’s not even worth it as a joke. Come on, it’s not even available.

But to win her heart, she must fight and defeat her seven evil ex-partners, a very complex task as she has special powers… It’s from 2010 but has aged beautifully. One that really deserves to be seen if you like simple and effective adventures.

It is the fourth best movie in the “Movies about video games” genre on Filmaffinity. So if you see it, we can say that you will not waste your time. Meanwhile, second place in the standings is Wreck-It Ralph! and the third Ready Player One.
