Mortal Kombat (1995)
3/10
Hmmm, 3 stars for the theme song....
15 July 2002
So for several years I've been trying to make myself sit through these kick-butt action movies, because they seem pretty popular. Again I have been disappointed. Maybe its because I don't have enough testosterone in me to enjoy a plot-less movie such as this. Ok, I can hear the three people who actually enjoyed this movie yelling out in protest, but I mean, be honest - what happened to writing a story before you begin fighting, erm, I mean, filming... If you enjoy films with a lot of unexplainable events, C-grade acting, and unquestioned mysterious occurances (cough cough, three normal people see other, erm, 'people' morphing in front of their eyes and no one looks in the least bit surprised, cough cough) then Mortal Kombat is the one for you.

Oh, and by the way, if someone asks you to get on a rusty old boat with a bunch of strangers and no explanation, its likely you'll have to save the world - but don't worry! It's all in the name of bad entertainment!

"A handful of people on a leaky boat are gonna save the world?" "Exactly!"

I gave this film 4 out of 10 stars.

3 stars were for the classic theme song.

1 star was for the princess, who looked miraculously good for her age.
