10 Critically Reviled Video Game Movies (That Really Aren't THAT Bad)

5. Mortal Kombat

Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer Score: 47%

Critics Consensus: "Despite an effective otherworldly atmosphere and appropriately cheesy visuals, Mortal Kombat suffers from its poorly constructed plot, laughable dialogue, and subpar acting."

Mortal Kombat is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic video game franchises of all time, and it became one of the earlier ones to get adapted on the big screen back in 1995.

A time when there wasn't as much of a stigma surrounding video game films, Mortal Kombat's lukewarm reception was down to its over-the-top and corny presentation, which ultimately affected the plot. But you know what? It's still a relentlessly enjoyable thrill-ride that has the power to make you laugh out loud and cringe in horror. No, like the critics remind us, it's not perfect, but it is a hilariously enjoyable '90s action flick with some impressive fight scenes and solid costumes.

Whether you're a fan of the games or not, you can still crack out the popcorn, sit back and enjoy this ambitiously entertaining adventure.
