Mortal Kombat: A Conquista

I found Mortal Kombat Conquest to be a much more entertaining series than any of the movies. The plot is created in such a way that it allows the underlying story to evolve over multiple series and not be resolved in a mere 120 minutes like the movies. It is much more interesting to watch because of its myriad of different storylines. In addition, there are many more hot looking scantily dressed gals in the series, which is also a plus. Just love the redhead Taja played by Kristanna Loken. However, I never knew that people were so glamorous and fashionably dressed in ancient times, oh well!

Despite the disappointing beginnings, this series really picks up speed for a thrilling finale which certainly left me a bit stunned.

At the start of the series it seemed this was just another lame TV program which would be cancelled after five shows; the fight scenes and Taja were the only things which kept your interest while the stories tailed off half way through. However the more episodes you saw, more characters were added and as the acting improved, so did the plots.

By the end Conquest had made up for both the early episodes and the awful Annihilation. The only questions that remain are as to whether there will be another series and just why Taja was hardly ever involved in the fights after an impressive first bout.

As good as could be expected.

Sure, the stories are tired out, juvenile, morality plays. Sure, they attach a 90's value system to people supposedly from times centuries past. Nevertheless, this thing has some of the coolest fight scenes ever shot. Besides, all the women look and dress like they just jumped out of an adolescent's daydream. Baywatch is nothing compared to these babes.

Mortal Kombat always has a great story behind all the fighting. Mortal Kombat: Conquest takes you back where it all began.

MK Conquest has been misunderstood by many people when the series aired on TV. Most people who have seen the movies (and don't know much about Mortal Kombat) will wonder how it can be that the bad guys in the movies can be still alive in the series if the story in the series are like 1500 years ago ("Mortal" (remember?) Kombat). Others will wonder why the heroes in the movies are not in the series (they where not born yet). There are much more hesitations that people had with Mortal Kombat Conquest. What these people forget, is that the story of Mortal Kombat is big and complex. The fundemental and most important thing that made Mortal Kombat legendary is the fighting and story within it.

MK Conquest is in fact the best TV-serie ever made. The fighting techniques used in the series are extremely good. There was no single Mortal Kombat Conquest serie that was boring. Each serie was great and full of action.

The story, Taja (a thief), Siro (an ex-guard) and a Monk called Kung Lao are the good guys. Every bad guy in the movie wants Kung Lao dead because he won Mortal Kombat the last time and now they are afraid he will win again. The evil empiror Shao Kahn and the sorcerer Shang Tsung keep on trying to kill Kung Lao. This with a lot of things in the serie, make famous Mortal Kombat characters fight in the series. Sub-Zero, Scrorpion, Smoke, Reptile, Rayden, Chuan Chi, General Reiko are one of those famous MK characters you will see in the TV series.

If you are a MK fan, this will be a must. Others will enjoy it as well.

I am a very big Mortal Kombat fan. I love both movies and I thought this series was a good one. Back when this on TV I was a huge wrestling fan (I am not happy with today's wrestling but I still love the classic WWF & WCW days back in the 80s & early 90s) and I'd watch this right after WCW's Monday Nitro show. Mortal Kombat: Conquest had good actors and actresses which included the beautiful Kristanna Loken which her character looked so good looking and neat in this series. Fans of Terminator 3 should check her out because she is very good in this. There was notable good acting by the other cast members Bruce Locke, Daniel Bernhardt, Jeffrey Meek, Tracy Douglas, Paolo Montalban, and others. There was even guest stars in some good roles such as Eva Mendes and WCW's Bryan Clarke of Kronic (WWF's Adam Bomb) in some episodes. The series had some big time potential but it didn't air long on television. If you are able to watch this series and if you love Mortal Kombat then watch it!
