Movies based on video games have a bad reputation and the "Mortal Kombat" series from the 1990's helped solidify that reputation. So who thought it was a good idea to do a remake of this film? Is it possible to make a good video game movie?
Is this new Mortal Kombat movie a flawless victory? Does it continue the trend of decent video game movies? Or has the public dealt a fatality to this attempt at restarting the franchise?
