Mortal Kombat
Washed-up MMA fighter Cole Young, unaware of his heritage, and hunted by Emperor Shang Tsung's best warrior, Sub-Zero, seeks out and trains with Earth's greatest champions as he prepares to stand against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe.
Critics Sentiment
Sub-Zero kills Hanzo's wife, son, and clan in 1617
Kano betrays the team and disables temple's protective shield
The film drops significantly from Kano's entertaining arcana awakening to his predictable betrayal, losing 2.3 points as the plot becomes more formulaic.
Mortal Kombat starts strong with a praised opening sequence featuring Scorpion's origin story, then struggles through a weak middle section focused on an unpopular protagonist and predictable plot beats. The film recovers somewhat with entertaining action sequences and Kano's comedic moments, but suffers from a rushed third act before ending on a high note with the satisfying Scorpion versus Sub-Zero climax that fans had been waiting for.
