Product Description

Lord Rayden (Christopher Lambert) has rescued them, but he cannot fight for them. They – a martial artist, an action film star, a soldier – are the chosen three. And while the world’s fate rests on their shoulders, the rest of us can enjoy the thrills as they compete to save us all in the body-slamming, mystical-tinged, full-tilt spectacle of creatures and conflict that is Mortal Kombat. Paul Anderson (Resident Evil: Afterlife) directs this astonishing and trend-setting experience that showed how to turn a smash-hit video game into a movie smash. Cheer these intrepid three Kombatants – they’re fighting for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn’t take itself too seriously in a good way!

Disclaimer: I have a lot of positive nostalgia around this movie. I fondly remember seeing this in the theater with my brother, who I often played the game with. This movie is such fun! The soundtrack is edgy, fast and conveys the strange fantasy aspect well. The settings were immersive: sometimes otherworldly, sometimes bleak, and sometimes beautiful (i.e. the temple). Their portrayal of fight locations from the game was very well done. Lastly, the actors all really seemed to be enjoying themselves! They knew it wasn’t Shakespere and had fun with it. As long as you go into it with the same outlook and have played Mortal Kombat, I think you’ll enjoy it!

If you like the original game, you’ll love this movie. A must watch if you’re a fan of the game. Obvious technology was not like today but excellent movie! Raiden is the best from all mortal combat movies, past and present. Lou Kang is the best of all of them too, imo.

This classic fun adventure is so great all these years later! Great character interaction, fantastic fight scenes, good comedy, awesome music, and a very understandable journey. Unlike 2021 (and many modern games) it doesn’t rely on the fact the series has crazy gore to get your attention. All it needed was that I mentioned before to grab us

Love him or hate him, we video game fans need to tip our caps to director Paul Anderson. Regardless of whether you enjoyed  Resident Evil , he gave us our first decent game-to-movie outing when he pioneered "Mortal Kombat" - still considered by some to be the best adaptation of a video game, period. Indeed, "Kombat" came as a breath of fresh air after the stiflingly insipid attempts that were  Super Mario Bros.  and  Double Dragon , for not only did it follow the game's storyline to a degree that is unmatched even today, but it disproved the unfounded belief that a faithful adaptation of a game would be boring and unsuccessful. A recent viewing of the film allowed me to cast a slightly more humbled view upon it, but it still remains one of my favorite entries of the genre and ought to be standard viewing for any director about to tackle a game-related project.

The story: when otherworldly forces led by an evil sorcerer (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa,  The Last Emperor ) threaten Earthrealm, mortal warriors are called upon by the god Rayden (Christopher Lambert,  Highlander ) to take part in the ancient tournament of Mortal Kombat to decide the fate of our world. At the heart of the resistance are Liu Kang (Robin Shou,  Beverly Hills Ninja ), Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby, "The Young and the Restless"), and Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson,  The Wedding Singer ) - a young monk running from his destiny, a movie star looking to prove his legitimacy, and a special forces agent hunting a murderer: three strangers, connected only by destiny, who must band together if they are to save not only the Earth but their very souls.

"Okay, the storyline stays true to the game, but is the rest of the movie any good?"
An action/fantasy, "Mortal Kombat" relies more on spectacle than acting to win over audiences, and in this, it succeeds. Though outdated by modern standards, the film showcases CGI animation that was top-of-the-line for its time. And action? - the movie has little time to waste between its fast-paced martial arts encounters. Gems include Johnny battling Scorpion (Chris Casamassa, "WMAC Masters) and Liu fighting Reptile (Keith Cooke,  Mortal Kombat: Annihilation ), with about half-a-dozen other fights stuck in between, ranging between pretty good and...well, pretty darn bad (e.g. Sonya vs. Kano, played by Trevor Goddard of "J.A.G." fame). In addition, the film suffers from a style of pop direction defined by minimal character development, lots of pose-striking during fights, and a storyline that ends up getting a bit lazy; a trademark of director Anderson that nevertheless disallows the film to appear like anything else than teen entertainment. What the movie does have on its side, though, is good casting: while nobody won any awards for their performances, you'll be hard-pressed to find anybody who disagrees that Robin Shou was made for the role of Liu Kang or that few besides Lambert make a good Rayden. Even the ninjas and the fellow who did Goro's voice are well-suited to their roles - at least more so than previous incarnations like Bob Hoskins as Mario or Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile.

While the film has its flaws and might not be the best action movie around, you'll find few gaming marks who have many bad things to say about it, including me. Forget my negative comments for a moment and know that I'm very happy that this movie exists. No doubt it would've been a different film had it been made more recently, with more enduring graphics and a bit more action-cinema history to back it up, but the fact that it was made when it was and still managed to gain the acclaim that it did from both parties of viewers (action freaks and gaming geeks) says a lot. Video game fans, if you haven't yet seen it, then shame on you. Action fans, please proceed to your closest video rental shop...

Au même titre que l'adaptation de Street Fighter. Mon péché mignon dont j'assume mon amour pour lui, voir plus que Street Fighter. Pourquoi ?!!

Parce qu'à part quelques légères " j'accentue bien sur LÉGÈRES " libertés, contrairement à ce qu'il a infligé à la franchise Resident Evil, Paul W.S Anderson sabote moins le matériau d'origine, que Cricri en Raiden et le reste du cast fonctionne, que les décors faits mains, sans artifices numériques, ont carrément la classe, les scènes d'action, la musique top, les personnages et l'histoire respectés. L'un de mes jeux vidéo de mon enfance en film.

Il est hyper kitsch, des défauts y en a et ce serait peu crédible de ma part de prétendre le contraire. Il fait néanmoins le job, je ne demandais rien de mieux contrairement à la nouvelle version et son gros budget " géré par un gamin de 3 ans" ne valant le coup que pour les fatality/brutality.

Pour ton bien être si tu regardes la version de 95: Evite de regarder sa suite low cost. Là, il y a de quoi pousser des hurlements et avoir envie de flageller les responsables de cette infamie.

With some reasonably well known actors (Christopher Lambert - Highlander; Robin Shou - Mortal Kombat Annihilation, Kung Fool, D.O.A. Dead Or Alive; & Linden Ashby - Wild Things 2, Wild Things 3, Resident Evil 3: Apocalypse) this film, in my personal opinion, has to be one of the best game-to-film adaptations about. Dare I say that it maybe one of the forerunners to the whole game-to-film genre. the plot's a bit thin at times, but what it lacks in plot, it more than makes up for with the abundance of witty one liners & action.

Any fans of the Mortal Kombat games who haven't seen this film, or the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, must see & own this film. If you don't take the story line too seriously, it's a must have for the collection.

The sound track is amazing (I own the soundtrack, as well as the film). The songs chosen were used in the right places in the film, & for the right length of time. The wardrobe department done an astounding job (the outfit Sonya Blade {Bridgette Wilson} wore when she fought Kano {Trevor Goddard} made her look amazing)!

Mortal Kombat, in my opinion, has put later attempts at game-to-film adaptations (namely Doom, Bloodrayne, Bloodrayne 2 & D.O.A.) to shame. Bear in mind that Mortal Kombat was made & released at least a good 10 years before the aforementioned game-to-film adaptations, & that all the staff involved in the film didn't have the computer technology, nor the types of equipment that films today have available to them (e.g. CGI, etc). So on that front, well done to all the staff involved with the Mortal Kombat film.

If you do end up purchasing the film, you won't be disappointed with it, it's well worth paying the money for it.
