MORTAL KOMBAT
A film review by scatt@scatt.planet.net
Copyright 1995 scatt@scatt.planet.net
Rating: one and a half stars
After seeing the trailers for this movie, I thought to myself that this would finally be a decent video game-to-movie translation. (note I said decent, not great). I never expected much, but for a movie based on an action packed, bloody game, I would have expected more, especially since the first ten to twenty minutes were really making me sleepy. The characters are lacking any depth, and they all think they're George Carlin. The action is a bit weak, but the movie is still a lot better than STREETFIGHTER. My advice is to wait for it to hit video if you must see it. My only wish is that if they do make a sequel (as is hinted at the end of the movie) that they hire new writers, and pack a bit more action into it.
