Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Shallow and predictable
When you take a video game where the whole game is simply one-on-one fighting, there is not much story to go with. Apparently the makers of this movie simply accepted that fact and said "so what?"
The action scenes are at times enjoyable, at times laughable, and at times boring. But more importantly, there are other ways they could have worked the use of fight scenes into this movie. That's one of the (few) things that they did better in the second film. Simply saying "we're here for ... Read More
Rating:  - Still is the Best Video Game Movie of All time - ^^
Hello folks.
I persoanlly think this is the best video game movie ever made. not that many video game movies even come close with the exception of final fantasy VII advent children.
I saw this movie in theaters back in 1995 , when I was only 9 years old. this was also during the year of Mortal Kombat 3.
the thing that made me happy was that my all time favorite kombatant , Rayden , was played very well by Christopher Lambert. rumor has it that he might return ... Read More
Rating: - Stills Puts Up A Good Fight
Love him or hate him, we video game fans need to tip our caps to director Paul Anderson: regardless of whether you enjoyed his adaptation of "Resident Evil", he gave us our first decent game-to-movie outing when he pioneered "Mortal Kombat" - still considered by some to be the best movie-ization of a video game, period. Indeed, "Kombat" came as a breath of fresh air after the stiflingly insipid attempts that were "Super Mario Bros.", "Double Dragon", and "Street Fighter: The Movie", for not only did it ... Read More
Rating: - Can't get any better.
As a Mortal Kombat fan I couldn't ask for a better movie. Locations, characters, moves are just like the game. And this package comes with a decent plot, too. Only downside is the lack of gore in fatalities but in order to get a PG-13 rating they had to tone the fatalities down, but no complaints, they still look good.
I loved it, I own it and I watched it maybe 20 times and still enjoy it.
Rating: - Mortal Kombat - A Fun, Mindless Action movie that Gets the Job Done
3/5 Stars
"Let Mortal Kombat begin!" Quotes like that are what this movie (and the video games in which it is based) is going to be remembered for. I decent action film based on the successful Mortal Kombat fighting games the movie is focused on, you guessed it, "Kombatants" punching each other around trying to win an inter dimensional tournament to save the world from the evil Emperor. About as scary as playing a game of Space Invaders, but you don't go to see a movie like Mortal Kombat ... Read More
