As I've said, I have never been into videogames. Who cares? It's a movie I'm commenting on, right? Mortal Kombat is okey.
Sure this movie is stupid, the dialogue isn't that funny (although it tries very hard to be) and the performances would sent cold chills even down Ed Wood's back. So why in the hell is this worth our time? The action. The fight scenes in this yarn scale from average to excellent. No Crouching Tiger, but for a videogame adaptation they're not bad.
This movie also made Paul W.S. Anderson the director he is today. There are mixed feelings. Mortal Kombat and Event Horizon are his better works. Soldier and Resident Evil.. oh well. And now that he's making Alien vs. Predator a f**king PG movie ('cause the studio wanted it so [Judas!]), there is no telling where his integrity has fallen.
