Despite an effective otherwordly atmosphere and appropriately cheesy visuals, Mortal Kombat suffers from its poorly constructed plot, laughable dialogue, and subpar acting. Read critic reviews

The only decent video game turned into a movie. Why? Obviously because the filmmakers have really tried to offer some eye-popping visuals that can provide the same stimuli as the video game itself.

A martial arts action-adventure with wondrous special effects and witty production design, it effectively combines supernatural terror, a mythical slay-the-dragon, save-the-princess odyssey and even a spiritual quest for self-knowledge.

The guys in the recording studio who made the ooofff! augghhhh! sounds are the ones who really had all the fun.

Anderson does a good job of edging humour into dumbness - Lambert gets a few witty looks - and the art direction and effects are okay.

Where others have sunk in the mire of imitation, director Paul Anderson and writer Kevin Droney effect a viable balance between exquisitely choreographed action and ironic visual and verbal counterpoint.

British director Anderson does a fair job with what he was given: four good-looking leads, some very impressive sfx, Babylonian sets, a bone-crunching soundtrack, and a battery of well-choreographed fights.

Jun 03, 2016Truly bad, but in a 100% watchable way.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Sep 12, 2015Probably one of the most underrated game to movies around as it's very loyal to the games with using most of the main characters from the game, The plot was abit silly but it had to be for this film to exist, The fight scenes were pretty good but should of been better, The acting was poor but if you go into a film like this expecting great acting then you need more film knowledge, At the end of the day it's one of the better game to films there is outside the Resident Evil franchise.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Jun 18, 2015Having never played the games and just taking the movie for itself Mortal Kombat succeeds with intriguing characters, awesome action sequences, and great sets. I can't give it a 5 because of some of the cheesy CGI. Its a great popcorn movie and will always impress action junkies like myself.Ian I Super Reviewer

Jun 24, 2014Fans would enjoy this adaptation from the popular yet controversial series. I can see the effort but it didn't work out as what it promised. First of all, the dialogues were laughable, I honestly don't know how badly written it could be. Secondly, there were a bunch of random extras that served no purpose. Lastly, the film tried to be humourous, which was the ultimate downfall of the film, stick with the gore please. On the bright side, the fight between Johnny Cage and Scorpion was pretty good, other than that, the film could go straight to the rubbish bin.Sylvester K Super Reviewer
