“Those were 500 dollar sunglasses, asshole.” – Johnny Cage
From Mortal Kombat(1995)
The first boss fight sure ended abruptly compared to the one with Scorpion.
As far as video game movies go, MK was better than most. The CGI doesn’t hold up, and the story changes are a mixed bag, but the choreography was nice and the movie was memorable. While the 2nd game was excellent, the movie sequel was horribly terrible for the most part. Some parts of the recent Legacy series are good, but it gets inconsistent and meandering at parts. The trouble with making a movie about a game with so many characters and different outcomes is that everyone has their favorites. On the other hand, if comic book movies can be made as good as The Avengers(2012), maybe video game movies will get their due.
