Mortal Kombat also pioneered the Finishing Move in the form of Fatalities, one of the franchise's defining features. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance added the ability for each character to switch between three different fighting styles, greatly expanding the combat options and combo ability of every character.
Early entries in the series had characters play largely similarly, differing mostly in Specials. Mortal Kombat's gameplay is relatively simple in comparison to other fighting games, as it uses four attack buttons and a dedicated block button as opposed to the traditional six attack buttons seen in series like Street Fighter. The latest game in the series is Mortal Kombat 11. Mortal Kombat 4 was the first game in the series to use 3D models. The first entry to the series, known simply as Mortal Kombat, was released in arcades on October 8th 1992 and featured digitized graphics instead of the usual hand-drawn sprites present in other fighting games at the time. 6,5/10 good effort bringing the game on film screen.Mortal Kombat (commonly abbreviated to MK) is an American fighting game series created by Midway Games (now known as NetherRealm Studios) that is best known for its excessively graphic content that ultimately contributed to the founding of the ESRB rating system. So, this first film does the job and although not everyone from the game is in it, I m sure all the other favorite characters will appear in the next 2 films and I m looking forward to that. Maybe the lead protagonist is not that interesting compared to the other characters but he seems necessary to keep the story moving forward. Also, the idea to rotate this film's story around the rivalry between scorpion and sub-zero worked it gave some background. Fight scenes get more rewarding halfway through, closer to the game style.
Runtime of 1h 50min is works well you will not be bored. Keep in mind that it's a trilogy, so this first film tries to add some background! Luckily there's not much time spent on meaningless conversations and the scenes get into the action parts faster than you would expect. If you are familiar with the game, you will like it. Great visuals, excellent fight scenes, good choices on most of the cast (e.g Kano, Scorpion, Sub-Zero) and just a fun movie overall.
