Mortal Kombat may not be high art, but it's a fun Martial Arts Fantasy flick that is leagues above the likes of Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros.
The movie ultimately succeeds thanks to its entertaining fight scenes, well picked cast, stylish visuals (minus some dated CGI here and there), and overall faithful treatment of the video game it's based on.
In my opinion, it's the best movie adapted from a video game, and while that may not be saying a lot considering the poor track record of the sub-genre, I still enjoy this movie a lot.
Great 90s soundtrack too.
