While there have been a few attempts at adapting the ‘90s bloody fighter video game phenomenon Mortal Kombat, it hasn’t taken off. The latest reboot/remake of Mortal Kombat doesn’t sanitize the game’s goofy, gory goodness and instead goes for full carnage. This makes it one of the more faithful and decent video game adaptations. Sure, there are some dumb story decisions, pointless filler, and a cast of sprawling magic kung-fu fighting freaks so long that an index card would be handy.

The video game franchise has been going steady for 30 years and has garnered millions of fans. The wide variety of characters are as diverse as they are dangerous, and the universe’s lore remains as complex and interesting as ever. ....
