Reviews
Pic consists largely of choppily edited fight scenes (usually involving somersaults and back flips) combined with various computer graphic effects.
A little more work is required, for instance, on four-arm technology.
As far as the plot, the repetitive bombardment of similar scenarios makes the film seem very long and painfully drawn out.
It's just an excuse for a series of tedious, repetitious fight scenes that have been staged with no hint whatsoever of originality.
Here's the lowdown on the latest chapter in Mortal Kombat: deadly dull.
