I like it. A good example of "so bad its good."  But my one real problem with the movie is that the killed Reptile.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

It's definitely superior to Mortal Kombat 2 (I can't spell :drink:) I like how nothing is bogged down by reason because I doubt the studio's take on why any of the characters could do what they did would be very good snifflebloodraynesniffle.
Kleel's rule is harsh :-B

Mortal Kombat isn't all that bad, especially considering it's a video game movie.  It's definitely worlds better than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. 

MKA blew chunks.  Hard.

Agreed.  I still to this day say that the first Mortal Kombat film is still one of the best movies based on a video game to date.

MKA suffered from a lot of things, which if I wrote, would be fairly long in length since I have lots and lots of problems with it.

Yeah, I'm watching that next weekend.  To argue though, Jax is in it.  Don't mess with Jax.

I honestly have a problem sitting through that movie.  I've made it through movies that some would consider awful, like Return of the Killer Tomatoes, Tiger Heart, and Captain America, but MKA is a movie, that as a Mortal Kombat fan and a b-movie fan, just throw my head back in disgust.

It took me a few sittings to finish MKA myself.  It was hard to sit through it, as I could decide if I should be sick or rip my eyeballs out of their sockets.

TBS shows it occasionally, usually in a late time slot, like Friday night/early Saturday AM like, 3:30 or at 6:00.  Probably as a sleep inducer for all the people coming in from the bar (like myself) who needs something quick to fall asleep to.

Once in a while they'll show both MK flicks back to back as a double feature on a Sunday afternoon as well.  I watch MK in full and MKA in snippets.

I watched MKA last night, it sucked so hard my head hurt afterwards.

It sucked so hard it makes The Pest an almost bearable movie to watch.

And that's coming from someone who likes The Pest.

Mortal Kombat is a fun movie, I'd have maybe prefered if they focused more on certain characters (it'd probably be scorpion and subzero because they are very marketable) because it would change from characters a lot without going into very much depth but still a fun movie to watch with your buddies and shout stuff at. I've never heard anyone at all say anything good about Anhilation, I like badmovies (obviously why else would i be here) but i've heard it's not 'fun' bad it's just unwatchable so unless it comes on TV one day (which it doens't seem to) I'll probably never bother watching it.

I've always liked the 1st Mortal Kombat movie. Saw it in theaters actually.  The 2nd one however is one of the worst movies that I've ever seen.

The 1st film is one of the better video game to film adaptations that's been done to date, though most of those have sucked big time.

I particularly thought that the actress who played Bridgette Wilson who played Sonya was gorgeous IMO.

Well done fight scenes and they actually stuck to the game a lot more than other films of this type have done.
