Mortal Kombat Ratings & Reviews
- RecordedsnakeJanuary 1, 2026Mortal Kombat is a fun, high-energy ’90s classic that embraces its video-game roots. With iconic music, memorable characters especially Shang Tsung and solid fight scenes, it delivers pure nostalgic entertainment. Still one of the best video-game movie adaptations.
- Sarah JDecember 12, 2025Tbh more movies should have techno theme songs
- RonFlix316November 2, 2025absolute classic! 💎 Music, characters, insane plot; what's not to love!
- JakeSeptember 17, 2025MOOOOOOOORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAT! Captures the 90s vibe well enough, the story is fun, characters are goofy, cheese is cheesy, it's exactly what you'd expect 😉
- StreetterSeptember 4, 2025One of the greatest movies of all time. Has an infinite re-watch value!
- Hipster ZOMBIEApril 1, 2025As the OG Mortal Kombat film, this live action interpretation delivers a fun joyride that can be described as cheesy at times. The characters—Liu Kang (Robin Shou), Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby), and Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson)—are faithfully portrayed, and their interactions are often fun to watch. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa’s performance as Shang Tsung is particularly standout; his menacing presence and the now-iconic delivery of “Your soul is mine!” make him one of the most memorable villains in video game movie history. The fight choreography is another highlight. The film embraces its martial arts roots, delivering entertaining, well-staged battles that feel true to the game. Say what you will about director Paul WS Andersons other films (Resident Evil; Monster Hunter) but his MK film is still the best of the franchise.
