SPOLER ALERT: New character as the protagonist didn’t really work out. He was totally unnecessary. The movie didn’t have an actual MK tournament! The movie felt rushed towards the end. Other than that it was good. Best characters: Kano and Sub-zero. Overall, the movie…

I was excited when I heard the news, especially when I read that James Wan (Insidious, The Conjuring) was going to be a producer for the reboot. I had my reservations, of course, due to the negative depiction of many video games or anime shows that were brought to real…

This movie stunk. I think the low budget did them in. Jumped all over the place and had no real storyline. Hot garbage.

Special effects were good at some points. Only reason I saw this movie was for the scorpion and sub zero fight. Horrible plot. Bad acting.

It was so refreshing to see this movie! I'm so glad that they didn't stay from the original storyline. The backstory was awesome. I will see this again.

Story is rushed, does not give a lot of detail on how and why. Some iconic characters died way too easy. Definitely not bad but story should have been flushed out.

Not a perfect entry but a worthy successor to the Mortal Kombat lore with fun action and fatalities that live up to the hype.

Fighters' special powers had cool effects, but, overall, the original had a better plot than this one. Remake has better actors and effects. I was SO pumped to watch this, but felt a bit disappointed as I left the theater.

We have an origin movie that was fine and fun. Casting was great except for Mileena. Kano steals the show.

First if you aren't familiar with the games and the past movies and series then you will be lost. This movie needed more back story. I did enjoy it but I felt like some changes needed to be made. Their is no actual Mortal Kombat tournament that takes place in the movie. I…

It was cool. Though I found the family thing to be irrelevant. Needed more fatalities and gore. Some funny moments but that’s pretty much it. Didn’t really go with the storyline as well.

It was good. The characters were great. The main character Cole needs more lines and more and better character development. Kano is great, best part of the movie but ultimately, everything felt rushed and disorganized. They should of spoken more to the lore of the different…

How do you not add the original theme song to something legendary like MK, that's like Jason Bourne movie ending without Moby- extreme ways...

It’s a shame that the producers of Mortal Kombat movies are convinced that there needs to be long training/prep sections in the middle of their stories. No one wants to play a tutorial an hour after they’ve started the game.

The movie’s not quite a fight-scene masterclass, though compared to much else on offer from studio action of the moment, it sometimes feels like one. It’s solid entertainment — refreshing, even, for finding ways to navigate the familiar pivots on its own terms.
