Atom User Reviews for Mortal Kombat
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 delivers a good dose of nostalgia but could’ve been better.
LOVE THE VIDEO GAME REFERENCES
Continue the MKU make another MK it was super good! We need a Sequel 💯
The last 30min is rush.
This movie could have been so much better.
if you dont see this in theaters your missing out.
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 life. Mortal Kombat (2021) is by far the best video game depicted movie I’ve ever watched. No dull moment, character development wasn’t over barring and the story was a great new take for the franchise. P.S. Kano may have stole the show surprisingly!
This movie stunk. I think the low budget did them in. Jumped all over the place and had no real storyline. Hot garbage.
movie was ok, mostly action fight scenes no real story
I felt like they really brought the feel of the game into this movie! Not a disappointment
a real sleeper
Dont go for an amazing story, go for a bloody, violent, fun time.
I really loved it the fight scenes were great but the movie was a little rushed in but I did enjoy it
I've seen all of them and this one by far has taken it to the next level bravo
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 good a really was not able to watch it because there was kid screaming and crying the whole time
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.
Loved it from start to finish! Hope the second one is just as good or even better!
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.
If You go in for the fight scenes then this movie delivers. Not too much of a plot though. Overall it was a decent movie.
Very nice action movie. Good opportunity to turn off your mind and chill for awhile.
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 ninja clans, explain more of history of the villains and build some rivalries to set up for the next movie. I think they should of slowed the pace of the movie but used to explain more of the story and characters rather than put all the focus on Cole and rushing fight scenes. The fight scenes were amazing though but this needed better story telling in my opinion.
Can't wait to the sequel.
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.
BEST VIDEO GAME ADAPTATION EVER! EPIC!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wow, it’s a legitimately good movie. GREAT action, lots of humor and well done homages. A few moments were really corny but duuuude, I loved it!
Loved it. Worth the wait.
good remake of the video game franchise
Not a flawless victory but very engertaining nonetheless. There were elements in this movie that would’ve made the 95 MK very appealing but there were things in the 95 MK that would’ve made this super appealing as well. All in all I have seen it twice and it is pretty good!
Not as good as the original
GET OVER HERE !! TO WATCH
This movie was not a fail!!!!
If you're a MK fan its a must see
It’s really the best ever watching!!!!
The screen was a too dark to view a lot of scenes.
Was so excited and it was great!
it was ok
A little corny at points, but over all it was pretty good!
The beginning is a great attention grabber. After that it seemed to become a regular fight flick that eliminated a lot of things leading up to the big scene..
it was just alright, almost seemed like a made for cable movie with too many F bombs. enjoyable, but not a must see.
For the fans.
it was okay
Wasn’t too bad, I personally liked the original better.
kept the feeling of the original film, but I expect better visual effects noe
Disservice to the characters and lore but well casted. Cole Young is an awful addition tho
Back after ~25years well excited to recall some of my school days memories.....the movie was not too boring...Good to watch...
The movie has great action sequence but grusome sometimes.
Trash
Wholesome family entertainment! If you are a fan of the franchise, you'll love it. If you're not, take grandma, she'd love it.
it wasn't all bad just felt more like a rental than movie theater movie type vibe.
Metacritic
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.
