Mortal Kombat

Bruh. They took EVERYTHING i love. EVERYTHING i love about mortal kombat. It does not even SEEM like a mortal kombat movie. the enviorment and tone of this movie is COMPLETELY different from what i like. The tone is too cold and blue-ish. i also hate the new theme song. the remix is just.... bad. they made it like a dance party feel or whatever. im fine with da violence. Im a kid by the way.

I know nothing of Mortal Kombat and I enjoyed it. My 12 year old plays the game and it was all of the same characters. There was quite a bit of blood and guts and violence and the unnecessary f words through out...but if your child can handle the gore and the few curse words it is a good story line.

Mortal Kombat is a more straight-faced version of the original movie from the early-90's, all the way down to an almost identical story (which, having played a few of the games isn't necessarily the 'canonical' story, at least as far as I'm aware), the big difference being that it's vastly more straight-faced. Normally, I would consider this to be bad thing, as the over-the-top violent nature that allowed the original to fly on absurdity alone, is all but gone entirely, swapped for something that expects you take it seriously. Now, having said that, the movie actually works on its own terms, and when approached from a Family Movie standpoint, it's actually not bad, but the message is incomplete. This movie appears to be Part 1 of a 2+ Part movie franchise, and while I appreciate the themes here (such as Family is Important and Arrogance Leads to Oblivion), the movie does these messages in a half-hearted way. Don't get me wrong - What we get is good, but since there's clearly meant to be at least a Second part to this series, everything feels under-developed, and until we get the next part of the franchise, I'd recommend this to Adults only (I rank it as 15+ as that's what I will recommend once the movie series is complete). It's certainly entertaining, and the messages are there, if plain, but it's certainly worth a watch.

Mortal Kombat is an movie that basically resets the Mortal Kombat film series, where it originally was classified as PG-13. This new R rated film perfectly encapsulates what made the video games great in the first place, showcasing what the characters can do in such an freeing, yet restrictive space. Most of the violence is from the brutal, but sometimes unrealistic fatalities, which are extremely graphic, with bloody gore shown, which could prove too much to handle for kids. There’s also a ton of swearing and a bit of sexual references in the film, with most of the swearing belonging to the film’s standout character Kano. All in all, the film deserves it’s R rating, but it should be noted that the film is not that suitable for children to begin with (considering the violence almost made the film an NC-17)

Nothing happens that stays on screen too long. Yeah its violent. But if the kids played any mk game they've seen far worse violence.

the really best and non-lying review

It is the truth

It has just the right amount of violence

This movie is essential Tom and Jerry with superpowers and blood. While it can be a bit gory it is all very tong and cheek. Nothing serious or dramatic like in movies like zero dark thirty. Fun action movie for pre teens
