There was a ton of hype surrounding Mortal Kombat as it entered the theaters. The uber-popular video game had captivated millions around the world with its awesome game play. The movie simply did not live up to the expectation — as both the script and the acting was terrible. The fight scenes were still super fun to watch. This aspect alone makes the move salvageable. For those who loved the video game, nostalgia still hits home with this film.
