Silly

Rating: 2/10 (22 December 2002)

One would think Hollywood would have learned by now that transferring a video game to the big screen simply does not work. We've seen dissapointments ranging from dull (Final Fantasy, Tomb Radier) to utterly horrible (Mario Bros., Street Fighter). I will concede that I found the original Mortal Kombat somewhat entertaining. There is, however, absolutely no saving grace for this sorry excuse for a movie. The acting is bad, the story seems thrown together, and did I mention the acting was bad? Oh, I almost forgot, thanks to this movie, we now have a scientific explanation for zombies! Come on, Hollywood! I suppose next you'll tell us that The Force is really just a bunch of cells inside the body.
If you want a good laugh, try to borror it from a friend who might have been tricked into buying this movie. Don't, I repeat DON'T spend the money to rent it. Its not THAT funny. 2 out of 10
