Mortal Kombat

“Nothing in this world has prepared you for this.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 67, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Three fighters enter a tournament whose outcome will decide Earth's future. The videogame adaptation moves quickly between distinctive opponents, supernatural powers and confidently delivered declarations. Its thin story is enough to support a colourful, highly shareable martial-arts fantasy.
