Mortal Kombat

While some fan service is ok, some performances are fun (linden Ashby, Cary Hiroyuki tagawa) and the theme song is awesome, this is garbage. The effects are a joke, the fights are mediocre, the pg-13 rating is just one big WTF, the story is boring and generic, the jokes are not funny, and the effects (with the exception of goro) are pathetic. Terrible movie, waste of time. Just play the games and the 2021 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.

"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

PROS:

• To be fair to this movie it stays faithful to the video games, it delivers nice fan service on that front.

• Depending on the mindset you have going into this movie, it can be a fun watch.

CONS:

• The action looks very staged and therefore the choreography is quite poor.

• The special effects are awful, especially with the actors having no idea what is happening in front of them. They didn't have the resources to pull off the amount of CGI things they attempted successfully.

• It is very campy and cheesy.

• As it has a PG-13 rating, there is nowhere near as much violence as the games contain.

There's some fun nostalgia here, but honestly not much else. The CGI has aged very poorly and acting/writing is pretty poor. The fact they used the actual MK music is dope though and definitely amps up the fun factor. If you take this film for what it is, a nostalgic mid 90s video game adaptation, you can find some amount of entertainment.
