best of video game adaptation

If the realm of Outworld wins Mortal Kombat ten consecutive times, Emperor Shao Kahn will be able allowed by the Elder Gods to conquer Earth. Shang Tsung (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) is a sorcerer working for Shao Kahn who has already won nine times. Raiden (Christopher Lambert) is the god of thunder and protector of Earthrealm. Liu Kang (Robin Shou) enters the tournament to avenge his brother who was killed by Shang Tsung. Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby) is the brash Hollywood star out to prove his skills. Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson) is American special force chasing after criminal Kano onto the boat. Princess Kitana (Talisa Soto) helps the Earth fighters to keep it from sharing the same fate as her world.

The writing is not going to win any awards. The acting is competent. Cary-Hiroyuki is having fun. It is the best of video game adaptation. Most of all, it is an enjoyable adventure. The Liu Kang fights are great. It's terrific to see the video game characters come to life and that song is the best.
