Review of Mortal Kombat (2021) by Viroodiem — 25 Apr 2021
Its decent.
It fits the mold of what you would expect. Pretty CGI, extensive martial arts & presumably wire-fu. The basic set piece of the video game. It makes a weird step to try to seem fresh with some of its character choices. It alsoIts decent.

It makes a weird step to try to seem fresh with some of its character choices. It also sets itself up to likely be a trilogy of films. Question is, why?
Its definitely as good as the original Mortal Kombat was back in the 90s for its time. It has ample easter eggs to hunt for and hits a lot of lore choices along the way. It just really does not serve a lot of purpose that has not already been covered by the original. All that is really getting added is higher budget graphics and updated rosters with a few left for future sequels to "unlock".
Its good, and serves its purpose. Just like the original it will be mostly forgettable for being a video game film adaptation that isnt terrible.
6.75/10 rounded up.
