The fan favorite champions—now joined by Johnny Cage himself—are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.
This movie proves that it is actually possible to adapt a video game and pay real respect to the source material. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it captures the exact "soul" that made the best Mortal Kombat games so iconic. A few characters completely stole every single scene they were in, and I loved every second of it. If you want an absurdly fun movie that knows exactly what it is, this is it.
Do you agree with this review?
