REVIEW: Mortal Kombat (2021) is a faithful cinematic version of the modern game…

If you were disappointed in this movie your expectations were way too high. Mortal Kombat (2021) is the second major attempt at creating a cinematic adaptation of the popular fighting game. Yes, I know there have been other adaptations over the years, but they have all been small-scale operations lacking the kind of high-profile release that this movie has enjoyed. There's not been a Mortal Kombat movie this hyped since the original, Paul W.S. Anderson movie released back in 1995. We did a retrospective of that movie last year, by the way, if you're interested.
