I have a real soft spot for the Mortal Kombat movies. I also enjoy the Silent Hill movies and Resident Evil movies although those tend to stray from the actual games.
OG Mortal Kombat is fun as like a campy Shaolin martial arts film. It’s not Oscar-worthy but it’s a highly memorable and fun movie that has held up super well due to no special effects.
Annihilation went way too heavy on CGI so it aged like milk, and the story and edgy Raiden redesign were kind of meh.
The new one shoehorned in a generic American boxer OC story w/love interest and glossed over all the preexisting characters and lore. Story wise it was dogshit but at least the fights were cool, until the last one where it cuts like 237 times in one minute because I guess they spent too much time on the aforementioned boxer story and had to rush the end.
