It followed the story of the game? and it had characters from the game?

Resorting to childish insults? You're more mature than that
Sorry I was just so frustrated when I started this
If you say Mortal Kombat is garbage, it makes it hard for me to believe that you saw Annihilation. MK is considered one of the best and most faithful video game film adaptations. Granted, with comparisons to movies like Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros., and House of the Dead, "most faithful" doesn't seem like a hard title to earn
No, I loved Mortal Kombat, and is one of my favorite VG movies ever. My referal of Garbage was to MK:A (which IS the board we are on)They bypassed the story of MKII (the game) for this garbage (MK:A) And there have been other movies that have held close to source material: Hitman, Silent Hillumm well that's all that is coming to mind right now.
I think we have finally come to ahead on our back and forthing This was actually fun, I just hope the eventual Mortal Kombat movie (in 20XX) will be better than the first one, and not worse than the second.

It has been a long time since I played through one of the Hitman gamesbut if you don't compare game to movie (I know you'll blast me for that) It was actually a good movieat least I thought hell better then most of the crap out there

No blasts today, I say the same thing about Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
An excellent sci-fi movie, an epic fail as a Final Fantasy film

Please, don't get me started on that movie though I do agree with you 100% if you took off the Final Fantasy, and just called it, The Spirits Within, then it would have been a good movie, but when you call something Final Fantasy, and have 0 elements of what final fantasy isthen we got problems.

Lol, well dang Im late as this was made so long ago, but I have to say I more agree with the Griever than Zan.
MK1 REPRESENTED MK1, not 2. MK: A basically said screw MK2, MK1 was not a mix of MK1-2. It wasnt. MK1s story was basically how it was in the game.
I dont see how anyone can think the first MK had to do with MK 1 and 2.
Reptile was a hidden character in 1.
Jaxwas that Jax? Did she say Jax, I dont remember, I think she did though. Still, he was barely in it at all. That was fan service.
As someone else said, there were 2 characters from MK2, again, fan service. You cant possibly believe this had elements of 1 and 2.
As for young Shang Tsung, they could find an older actor or just let him be young, that is really stretching it! -

I love this movie. I don't care what anybody says. Yes, it was cheesy, didn't even have a half decent plot, but I enjoyed it anyways. If you look at it simply a martial arts film and not expect it to live up to MK's source material, then it looks like a pretty cool film with all these over the top characters. I'd prefer MK:A over any martial art film that I've ever seen. Even over Enter The Dragon.

Uwe Boll would have also done something extremely lame like make Raiden and Shao Kahn brothers.
Except they actually did do that.
