My friend really wanted to see Mortal Kombat on opening day, one of the many new movie releases out now in movie theaters. I agreed since, ya know, I write about movies for a living. Here’s the honest truth: I barely know anything about Mortal Kombat. I have played the video game over the years––most recently in a bar filled with vintage arcade games in Philly––but I haven’t seen the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie or the 1997 Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. My friend said the 90s movies have horrible acting and less sophisticated effects, but fantastic fight scenes. I’ll take his word for it.
