Yes, anyone who says that the first Mortal Kombat movie sucked just proves that they don't have the slightest idea what they are talking about.

I'll admit, it's pretty loyal to its source material, but the only thing missing was the over the top gore.

I liked the first movie as a kid but soured on it as I got older and watched Doug Walker's thoughts on it. It's not great.

I diagree with this.

Despite how it triggers fanboys the fact is Mortal Kombat is and always was a kids game.

The movie needs to be a kids movie and real live action over the top Peter Jackson gore would have just killed the movie and made it a mess.

They were right to make it a tame kids action movie. Gore would have made it worse.

There's a reason why things like MK Legacy might have a cult following but they could never ever scrouge up an adult gorey MK movie.

Now that I got back to watching that fight scene, it's not all really that bad. Yeah sure the choreograph doesn't look that good, but comparing to action movies now I can actually see what the hell is going on and can keep up to what they were doing. Plus that final scene of Scorpion dying was fantastic, that's probably the closets thing to gore in that movie (he's bleeding lava or something?)

No shit. By being so limited by the PG-13 rating, it couldn't get away with its main selling point.

I fail to see how making a gorey MK movie would've made it a mess though, what makes and breaks the movie is the writing and direction a movie should go. The only thing making a MK gorey would be that is wouldn't make much money in BO sales because it would lose the PG-13 rating.

Anyways I never said it would make the movie better. I just said the movies were pretty loyal to its source material, except without the over-the-top gore. It made perfect sense why it wasn't like that back then, movies based off from video games were still a new thing (and even up till this day, they can't even get it right).

Gore would have made the movie better, but it still totally rocks without it.

The second is fun to watch and laugh at. I still wonder what the hell they were doing with that one.

Depends on what you liked in MK. I came for the gore and stayed for the schlocky Hong Kong B grade action flick story. The first movie delivered that very well. The second one isn't without the odd decent moment and idea (in the same schlocky vein), but man what a mess.

It seemed to be an odd mix of too little love for the series and too much. So much was crap and badly written and acted, but that the same time some of that could have been improved if they had the brains to leave out all the cameo subplots that just HAD to be there because it's Mortal Kombat, so Sub Zero, scorpion, Milenna, Nightwolf etc all had to play a role.

the first one was ok, but the second one was so bad that it makes the first one look bad if that makes sense.

i think the best video game movie is either mario bros or tomb raider

Eh, the Resident Evil movie kind of sucked. But Silent Hill was decent.

My favorite scene
