I loved this movie when it was released and had to remind people that it was based on the video game not some book or true events. The same thing happened when Tron was released years earlier also based on a video game. It was obvious in both cases that the reviewers who panned these movies never played the video games and I’m sure never heard of them before the release of these movies. I had played both games well before the movies came out and Mortal Kombat made a great leap to the big screen. Great story and tons of action that mirrored the video game.
Look where we are now.
