What it had going for it was camp and entertainment. But as a quality movie it was in the "so bad its good category." I understand we all have great memories of our childhood, but seriously go back and watch the movie. It may be entertaining but its not a good movie.

on one level, an entertaining movie is a good movie 8)
the 'so bad its good' or films perceived like that category is just as valid as 'high art' cinema in a lot of instances. i know a little about what an actual good movie is - degree in film studies/history. just hollywood doesn't make many of those these days. they should stick to the deliberately, corny entertaining flicks a lil' more. then again, i thought the dark knight wasn't that good, a blasphemous opinion to most.

The first MK movie was good but in some moments it was a little corny & the lack of brutality & heavy violence from the game took alot away from the movie. The 2nd one was terrible. The whole idea of Khan invading earth, connecting it with the Outworld & having the good guys on the run (a la MK3) was good but the result was just uuuggghhhh & the special effects :-X The only good things they had going on were the fights & the music. The rest was ass. Anyone notice the only actors returning from the first movie were the people playing Liu Kang & Kitana?? The others knew this would be a shitty movie so they never participated in it. I do have to admit as a kid though, I actually liked this movie.

Well, I remember liking the first movie when it came out. Seeing it more recently, it didn't hold up too great, over time. But I remember at the time it came out, there really weren't any good video game adaptations. Back then, I probably would have counted it among the better ones. And even now, there are still some elements to it that I really like. I thought some of the actors that were cast did a really a good job as their respective characters. But since then, a few good video game adaptations have actually come out that have kind of raised the bar. Also, the CGI in "Mortal Kombat" now looks pretty dated. I realize that's not the filmmakers fault, but some of those scenes are hard to look at. The creature version of Reptile, for example.
I do agree though that the original "Mortal Kombat" movie is much better than "Annihilation." That movie was just total, over-the-top cheese. And why they thought putting "animalities" in the move would be a good idea, is beyond me.

^lol at the animalities, even as a kid I thought that stuff was corny & you got these grown people stuffing that shit down our throats (no homo), wtf?! The special effects from the first movie for nowadays standards are plain horrible & outdated but I can get past it cause it ain't as bad as the 2nd movie & I have that conscious which tells me it were different times & allows me to accept it as it is. So yeah, I can get through it, also I think MK is the best video game adaptation. Actually I can't think of any other one that is actually "decent".
