Mortal Kombat
It's a religious war in the dark period centuries ago. That story began when Kong Lao, the prominent warrior monks of the Church of Light of Light, was accused of protecting the powers of Lord Ryden before the film World Out. Things may be different when TAJA and Ciro join forces to wage a new war, recruiting and training recruits for the next war that makes things worse.

We'll concede that four-armed Prince Goro is a hoot, Christopher Lambert looks fabulous in a flowing white wig, and Talisa Soto, who plays some kind of princess, can lord it over us anytime.

The movie that most nearly approximates a video game: lots of action, no plot, eye-catching computer effects and a dollop of violence.

The movie has everything a teenage boy could want... Everything, that is, but an interesting plot, decent dialogue and compelling acting.

In the realm of movies adapted from video games, "Mortal Kombat" sucks the least...

Hardly award-worthy entertainment, and pretty visually dated, but probably one of the better video game movies ever made comparatively.

Cheesy and very violent adaptation of '90s video game.

British director Anderson does a fair job with what he was given: four good-looking leads, some very impressive sfx, Babylonian sets, a bone-crunching soundtrack, and a battery of well-choreographed fights.

...a one-note gimmick that comes with everything but a joystick for the viewer to control the robotic characters.

The most intriguing is a glassy-eyed follower whose right hand shoots out a hissing reptile that can extend itself for miles. Exotic creatures like these make watching Mortal Kombat feel like being in a high-tech fun house.

Just looks and plays a lot like Johnny Mnemonic, Double Dragon and other video-game-inspired, mayhem-filled messes.

Where others have sunk in the mire of imitation, director Paul Anderson and writer Kevin Droney effect a viable balance between exquisitely choreographed action and ironic visual and verbal counterpoint.

A fun, visually appealing film with effective performances and well choreographed fights. [Full review in Spanish]
