A quarter-century has passed since Hollywood first adapted the arcade classic
Mortal Kombat, with a film that launched newcomer Paul W.S. Anderson into his career making bad but extremely profitable movies full of CG mayhem (and a side career flummoxing those casual moviegoers who confuse him with two similarly named but slightly more brilliant auteurs).
This year the newcomer is Simon McQuoid, whose version of
Mortal Kombat ditches original character Johnny Cage but revives most others dating back to Midway’s 1992 game. A B-movie that would benefit immensely from some wit in the script and charisma in the cast, it’s not as aggressively hacky as P.W.S.A.’s oeuvre, but it runs into problems he didn’t face in 1995: Namely, the bar has been raised quite a bit for movies in which teams of superpowered young people have fights to save the universe. While gaming die-hards may enjoy this riff on familiar characters and kills,

I’m not usually one to look up the MPAA ratings for movies. But there came a point while watching the new
Mortal Kombat that I got curious. A point sometime after hearing Kano, the notoriously aggro Australian mercenary, call someone a “fucking idiot” for what felt the like 50th time, but before the part where we see a surge of power bore a hole so cleanly through that someone’s flesh that their spine dripping with a few gorgeous chunks of meat is all that remains of their torso in the end.
Review: Mortal Kombat is bloody, stupid and fun for fans of the property

Mortal Kombat fans have waited a long time for another movie. The original 1995 live-action movie based on the iconic fighting game franchise of the same name was by no means a classic; but at least it represents the possibility that a film based on a video game can actually be kind of good. Sadly, fans of the games have endured a wide range of awful adaptations when it comes to the Mortal Kombat franchise, from bad TV shows, such as
Mortal Kombat: Conquest, to the downright ugly
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. While the new live-action
Mortal Kombatfilm has building blocks and certain elements that would have served a better film, the results are largely bad.
