Hardly award-worthy entertainment, and pretty visually dated, but probably one of the better video game movies ever made comparatively.

British director Anderson does a fair job with what he was given: four good-looking leads, some very impressive sfx, Babylonian sets, a bone-crunching soundtrack, and a battery of well-choreographed fights.

The movie that most nearly approximates a video game: lots of action, no plot, eye-catching computer effects and a dollop of violence.

...a one-note gimmick that comes with everything but a joystick for the viewer to control the robotic characters.

A fun, visually appealing film with effective performances and well choreographed fights. [Full review in Spanish]

Where others have sunk in the mire of imitation, director Paul Anderson and writer Kevin Droney effect a viable balance between exquisitely choreographed action and ironic visual and verbal counterpoint.

Cheesy and very violent adaptation of '90s video game.

We'll concede that four-armed Prince Goro is a hoot, Christopher Lambert looks fabulous in a flowing white wig, and Talisa Soto, who plays some kind of princess, can lord it over us anytime.

Just looks and plays a lot like Johnny Mnemonic, Double Dragon and other video-game-inspired, mayhem-filled messes.

In the realm of movies adapted from video games, "Mortal Kombat" sucks the least...

The movie has everything a teenage boy could want... Everything, that is, but an interesting plot, decent dialogue and compelling acting.
