Since the 90s fans have craved a good film adaptation of the hugely successful franchise Mortal Kombat, and despite my reservations I have been proven wrong.
This is by far the best adaptation of the game, yes the plot and story is a bit thin and it is missing a lot of character development, but the action is brilliant and just like the game quite gory.
The opening first 10 minutes is brutal and well shot with the camera angles.
The main character Cole is a bit meh, but that is down to his story/script. Kano is outstanding and you just cant hate him in the film.
Sub zero is portrayed well same with jax and especially scorpion.
It has been hinted and left open for a sequel, and yes this film does need quite a bit of work done on it. But they have a good chance with how well this first outing has been done.
I fully expect a lot more characters in sequel especially with Johnny cage.
Overall Mortal kombat is a brilliant example of when people who care about a game, turn it into a film.
Fatalitie, flawless victory.
