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.

The plot revolves around a tournament that pits evil against good. The sinister team, led by the vile sorcerer Shang Tsung, includes the ice-wielding Sub-Zero, the serpent-like Reptile, and the gigantic, four-armed, muscle-bound mutant Goro. The good guys are led by Lord Rayden, who uses electricity as a weapon. His pupils include martial arts expert Liu Kang, vain movie star and karate expert Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade, a task-force commando who KNOWS how to kick some butt. Adding to the tension is the fact that whichever team wins 10 Kombat tournaments in a row will rule the Earth. And Shang Tsung's demonic team has won the last nine. [More]

Reviews for Mortal Kombat
It's silly, of course, but more importantly, it's a hell of a lot of fun, with plenty of above-average gags.
Likely to satisfy only the core audience already hooked on video and arcade games, and even that's not a sure thing.
The movie that most nearly approximates a video game: lots of action, no plot, eye-catching computer effects and a dollop of violence.
