![]() ![]() It’s difficult to avoid clunky, distracting exposition when dealing with an established canon focused on an enduring centuries-long arm wrestle between good and evil - Marvel is guilty of it, so I didn’t expect a video-game tie-in like Mortal Kombat to avoid committing one of popcorn Hollywood’s biggest sins. I didn’t expect lightning to strike again so close to the surprisingly decent Sonic the Hedgehog film, yet Simon McQuoid’s Mortal Kombat is as faithful a love letter to the confronting violence and martial arts on which the Mortal Kombat brand has built its name. Just as Mortal Kombat - the life or death tournament after which the games and film are named - comes around every so often, so does a video game film adaptation that doesn’t absolutely miss the mark.
