Title: Great video game adaptation, and enjoyable in its own right.
Review: On its own, it's a pretty good fantasy action film, if a little hokey at times. But what makes this film stand out is that it is still one of the best adaptations of a video game to film. It stays (mostly) true to the story of the first Mortal Kombat game -- I bet you didn't know they have a story! -- and is still an enjoyable movie. Probably its biggest departure from the games is the utter absence of blood and gore, and it never feels the worse for it.Word to the wise: even if you like this movie and all the video games, STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THE SEQUEL!
