Best video game to film translation ever!

Mortal Kombat is the best video game based movie out there, I'm a huge fan of the Mortal Kombat games, and this was definately a great adaptation, it followed the plot of the video game, the casting/acting was good, the FX were decent for 1995, the soundtrack is great, the fight scenes were excellent, the costumes looked just like the costumes from the game, the sets were in good condition, and I liked the dark/gothic atmosphere of the film, it's my all-time favorite movie, and one of the best film adaptations of a video game or comic book.

Rating : 10/10

Amazingly, Paul W. S. Anderson manages to take a script (which he once again didn't have to bother coming up with) and not ruin it completely for the fans of the original idea. I never liked the Mortal Kombat games, they were always too slow and too bulky, but the film is anything but.

With some fairly decent kung fu fights and a pulsating soundtrack, this film is a winner. Fans of the Street Fighter game would have killed to have a movie this impressive made about that game. It's everything the street fighter film should have been and more, but let's not talk about the sequels...

It's not amazing, spectacular or life affirming, but it will certainly do as a fighting game adaptation.

Rating : 6/10
