Movies based on video games usually aren't that great but I think Mortal Kombat is one of the better ones. Sure, it has some flaws, but it also does a lot of things right. The characters look like the ones in the game, they perform some of their trademark fighting moves, the plot centers around a fighting tournament with no other boring plotlines thrown in, and the locations look excellent.
The flaws would be some cheap looking cgi (which is not too often, so I don't have a problem with that), and the often talked about fact that Mortal Kombat the game was very violent and graphic, but none of that is in this movie. Yes, I think the movie would be a bit more effective if there were those bloody fatalities, but then again I think somehow the movie manages to create the mystical atmosphere of the games even without the over-the-top violence. Yes, it's also cheesy and comedic, but I think in the right way. It's just a very entertaining action movie.

A much bettwr movie with decent fx and choreography. Granted the story is cheesy and this is no Enter the Dragon but, not as bad as has been made out. If you are a fannof the game you should share some appreciation to this.
And that really says a lot about how the not-so-current trend of games-to-movies are received among critics. But this one was easily the best of all of them. This is easily in a league higher than the likes of Super Mario Brothers, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Wing Commander, the Tomb Raider movies, Resident Evils 1 and 2, House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark, not to mention that this was one of the few that actually stayed true to the game, from the costumes to the tourney fights, from the characters to the plot lines, everything was done right, and it makes for one hell of a fight-'em-to-the-finish type movie.
But heed my warning: AVOID THE SEQUEL AT ALL COST! Just stick with the original. You won't be disappointed (well, maybe you will, just maybe).

"Mortal Kombat" in my opinion is just an awesome movie. I think because I was such a fan of the video games, the days when Sega was the "thang". LOL, way before Playstation there was Sega! But, I really just loved the characters and this story just always appealed to me. I think because also my friends and I enjoyed acting the movie and video game out. No, we didn't kill each other, we just loved the characters.
Yes, despite this being a typical video game movie, I still think it was cool to watch, still to this day I don't mind watching. It has an awesome soundtrack, excellent moves, and a great look and feel to the movie itself. Just let go and have fun with it, if you enjoyed the video games, I think you should enjoy "Mortal Kombat". It's just cool to watch and keeps you on the edge of your seat in excitement!
7/10

Honestly I thought the 2021 one is pretty bad but then I played this one and it is definitely a lot worse than I remember it. I used to like this one but the execution is just bad. No back story, no explanation, no consistency, bad costumes. The characters are lacking depth and their general vibe from the game is completely absent - they are not menacing (except for Shan) and interesting enough as it was in the games. Wtf were these ridiculous fight scenes?! And what happened to Kitana's hot outfit? At least I absolutely love the bad ass theme song - reminds me of the childhood.

- WissenswertesChris Casamassa was hired to work as a stunt ninja. At the audition the producers were so impressed that he got the part of Scorpion.
- Patzer(at around 46 mins) During the fight scene in the woods between Johnny Cage and Scorpion, a white car is seen driving in the background on the left of the set.

Johnny Cage: [while fighting Goro] Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole.
- Crazy CreditsThe closing credits contain symbols. These are a secret video game code (known in the series as a "Kombat Kode") that if used in the order they appear will obtain a special effect in Mortal Kombat 3 (1995).
- Alternative VersionenThe TBS Superstation version removes some of the more violent sound effects, e.g. bones crunching or arms twisting, and also two bad words... The "I smell something" comment is followed by silence and the obscenity can only be seen being said. Also, complete removal of the offensive word after, "Those were $500 sunglasses", which worked out fine.
