Reaction: Astounding numbers for this R-rated video game adaptation. Hopefully this turns into a franchise for the studio.
"This latest Mortal Kombat gets everything right that Paul W.S. Anderson's 1995 film got wrong. Gareth Evans' film is practically a (deserved) love letter to the video game series. Fans will love it, but others will enjoy the fight scenes and the fantastical elements." - Mark Rawls, Seattle Times
"I get that this film is not one that is made for critics, or even the general movie-goer. Mortal Kombat was seemingly made solely for fans of the video game series. Those of us who are not fans of the games are going to feel lost and out of the loop." - Paul Onkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"This latest Mortal Kombat understands its characters and motivations better than the previous adaptations. For a movie based on a fighting game, this movie has a complex plot and strong plot and character development." - Allen Poole, AV Club
