**Mortal Kombat** 2021

This is the best Mortal Kombat movie that has been made, but that is hardly a high bar. It pretty much goes like this:

Great opening 10 minutes  
Pretty bad middle 40 minutes  
Very impressive fight sequences and choreography at the end \<–highlight of movie

I can’t think of a better video game movie because they are all so bad, but this is still not a great movie. However, the last 30 minutes or so are a lot of fun and deliver actual high-quality fighting. I was kind of bored in the middle, but legit nearly cheered at a couple bigger moments near the end.

Better than expected, but not a hugely amazing movie.
