“Most of the movies I saw in my childhood were action movies. I remember the days when I used to fast-forward the films on my VCR(!) to the action sequences. Once the scene would appear, I would record it with my father's mobile and then enjoy it later to my heart's content. The Matrix, Terminator, Die Hard, Street Fighter, Kung Fu Hustle, you name it. You know the trailers they used to show just before a presentation, with a deep baritone voice narrating? That's how I was introduced to this film, by that voice... and the music in the background.

Anyway, when I was young of course the film was awesome, but now that I've grown up, and matured along the way, I found out that the film starts off quite smartly but descends into the same old, same old - mindless action, funny dialogue” read more

" Check out my review: http://www.listal.com/viewentry/3959994 Robin Shou was convincing and at ease in his role as Liu Kang, the main protagonist. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was - I'm in the minority here - awesome in his role as Shang Tsung, the main antagonist. It's funny that his one-expression face hasn't garnered any memes yet. And the population is usually so quick on this. Anyway, an entertaining performance. The number of emotions / expressions Bridgette Wilson managed to cram in was quite "

" "We got a guy with things comin' out of his hands, we got another guy who freezes stuff, and then there's a man, who as far as I can tell, is made out of electricity. I mean, how did he disappear like that? What is goin' on here? WHO IS THIS GUY?" - Johnny Cage Maybe the first time I was excited and satisfied about a movie adaptation of something I like. I still think it's the best movie based on a video game (though I haven't seen all of them). What makes it more interesting than an averag"

"5.12. Vaikkei minulla ole nostalgista suhdetta Mortal Kombatiin, on tässä leffassa kyllä oma eeppinen fiiliksensä. Ensinnäkin se soundtrack. Olin kuolla nauruun, kun New Line Cineman logo ilmestyi kuvaruutuun sen pärähtäessä käyntiin. Sävelmää käytetään kiitettävästi myös puolivälin tiiviissä tappelumontaasissa ja lopputwistissä, ja itse tappelut ovat sopivan epäloogisia ja pöhköjä viihdyttääkseen. Christopher Lambert nyt tuo kähisevänä ukkosjumalana mieleen vain "

"29.11. Internetin pojat laittoivat minulle linkin Youtube-videoon, jossa venäläismies vetää helikopteria ja laulaa Mortal Kombatin pyöriessä taustalla. Mielsin tämän jonkin korkeamman voiman antamaksi merkiksi, joten etsin vanhan VHS:n hyllystä, sillä eihän lapsuudensuosikkia voi katsoa kuin cropattuna ja aivan hirvittävällä kuvanlaadulla. Elokuvan ensemble cast (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Christopher Lambert, Linden Ashby, Trevor Goddard) innostuttaa aluksi aivan täysillä. Harmitta"

"Katsottu 17.11.2012., vod Aivan armottoman paska mutta samalla myös viihdyttävä mäiske, Mortal Kombat nousee helposti parhaiden - tai sanotaanko vähiten paskojen - videopelielokuvien joukkoon. Juoni on kertakaikkisen typerä, henkilöohjaus kamalaa ja CGI kuin suoraan nelikätisen humanoidin perseestä, mutta elokuva etenee sellaisella tempolla ja innolla että noita elokuvataiteellisesti äärimmäisen olennaisten seikkojen - CGI:tä lukuun ottamatta - curb stomppausta ei sen enempää mi"
