OK, so this was the first time that "Mortal Kombat" was gonna be made into a movie and they wanted to make it as above and beyond as possible and that in all the cool effects that everyone who plays the games would have appreciated and then they totally missed the movie all together. Is it ridiculous? Yes. Is it poorly acted? Absolutely. Do you have a fun time? Heck yes!
Just don't take the movie seriously or expected to be as loyal to the video games and you'll have a good time.
