Top CriticWhat it's missing, ironically, is the edge that's made Mortal Kombat the video game such a powerful icon in American pop culture.

If the forces of darkness win ten mortal kombats in a row, the world will be subjugated to a tyrrany of evil and bad spelling
01/01/00
The characters are cardboard, the humor is lame and the heroes are all so unlikable most of the way that the audience won't be able — or want — to identify with them.

The impressiveness of skill is lost in the technical production.

If the movie Mortal Kombat were a character in a Mortal Kombat video game, its special maneuver would be to climb on its opponent's shoulders and defecate on his head.

Far too predictable to recommend to anyone not predisposed to this type of propulsive but vacant entertainment.
01/01/00
The movie has everything a teenage boy could want... Everything, that is, but an interesting plot, decent dialogue and compelling acting.
01/01/00
It should be worth noting that you can play the game much cheaper than seeing the movie, and the end result is much the same.

Hopeless? Oh yes. It's hopeless alright. Mondo hopeless.
05/15/03
Likely to satisfy only the core audience already hooked on video and arcade games, and even that's not a sure thing.
01/01/00
Like watching a lot of sweaty fist fights while trapped in the world's loudest night club.
04/03/05
Offers a visceral jolt of pleasure for those who formerly believed the martial arts movie genre belongs exclusively to Hong Kong's John Woo.
