Mortal Kombat [Region 2] Reviews: AN AWESOME MARTIAL ARTS FLICK 8.25 OUT OF 10  2009-12-26 - Ah Mortal Kombat, the film considered to be the the first good VG-adaptation. While this is not my favorite of Paul W. S. Anderson's films (Resident Evil trilogy most definitely), he proved himself to be a good director and helped create one of the better martial arts flicks ever made. This film is pure, awesome popcorn entertainment that never gets old to watch.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: The films stars three main characters: Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, and Sonja Blade, who all enter a fighting tournament called Mortal Kombat and they each have their own goals. Johnny Cage went because the film's villain disguised himself as a friend of Johnny's, Sonja wants revenge against the man who killed her partner, and Liu Kang wants revenge for his murdered brother who was killed by the film's villain. What they discover is that it's more than a fighting tournament, and that they must win it to save the world. Sure the story is really stupid, but you didn't come here for the story, you came to see awesome fight scenes.
MUSIC: This music is awesome! It fits the fighting theme quite well, and I loved the film's musical theme because it's so cheesy, yet so awesome at the same time.
ACTING: Bad acting and dialogue are aplenty in this film, but the actors do put on funny performances. It's always amusing to hear the incredibly corny dialogue because it's just so laughable. This is definitely a B-movie lover's delight.
ACTION: If you want to see really awesome fight scenes, then you'll definitely love this film because this film has got plenty of those. Sure, they're a bit corny, but the over-the-top mentality this film has is rather awesome and that's why the action is never boring and always feels inventive. Too bad this film gets dragged down by boring moments of meaningless dialogue. When the film isn't at an action scene, it suffers.
OVERALL: While the film has problems with a paper-thin plot, bad acting and dialogue, and moments of boredom, it makes up for it in awesome fight scenes and the cheesyness of this film is also a plus. This is B-movie heaven and should delight any B-movie fanatic or person who loves martial arts films.
THE GOOD: Awesome fight scenes, awesome music, fun sense of cheesy humor.
THE BAD: Moments of boredom, bad dialogue and acting, and a bad script.
Fantastic!  2009-12-08 - Received the product in great condition with super-fast shipping...will definitely consider ordering from this seller in the future! Thanks!
From Game To Movie  2009-10-14 - Mortal Kombat is awesome in any form. i loved this movie. the characters are sweet espicialy scorpion. this is a must see for all mortal kombat fans.
The only good video game turned into a movie I've seen 7/10 part 2 on Mortal Kombat/Mortal Kombat 2 Anhililation DVD reviews  2009-10-05 - I remember wanting to see this movie so bad back in 95 I liked it then & well I still like it. I'm pretty sure after the mediocrity that was Street Fighter in 1994 the God awfulness of The Mario movie or the piece of s*!t that was Double Dragon I'm sure people were worried but it delivered even Siskel & Ebert liked this s*!t. It stars Highlander star Christopher Lambert as Raiden Robin Shou as Liu Kang Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage Bridgett Wilson as Sonya Blade Talisa Soto as Kitana & Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shang Tsung. Your story Liu Kang has dreams about his brother Chan's death he goes back to China & learns of a tornament also meet Raiden in this scene. Next we meet Sonya Blade in this scene she's after Kano a serial killer he also killed her partner. We meet Cage in our next scene the press is giving him a hard time about his movies. Liu Kang, Sonya & Cage all end up in Hong Kong to go to the tornament. Raiden tells them that it's not about Liu Kang's quest for vengeance or Sonya's vendetta against Kano.
