Movie isn't as bad as everyone says

While this movie doesn't come without flaws, it gets far more hate than it really deserves. It's not perfect by any means, but it's not anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be either. I still enjoy watching this movie no matter what anyone else might say about it.

Bad acting, dialogue, poorly choreographed fights, and some of the worst CGI ever put on film. I knew it was bad even as a kid.

I still don't think any of that stuff is quite as bad as everyone makes it out to be, the one widespread gripe I agree with is Johnny Cage getting killed off as quickly as he did.

Nah it's bad and the Original Mortal Kombat movie isn't that great either. Its aged pretty poorly.

I still enjoy watching both. Everyone sees things differently. I'll watch the 1995 and 1997 movies again way before ever rewatching the 2021 reboot.

Meh, it's pretty bad. I saw this POS in theaters and couldn't believe how bad it was.

I liked the movie when I first saw it at 6 years old and I still enjoy watching it today, I'll proudly stand on that as different as my opinion might be.

Nice to meet you, always fun to discuss old movies with fellow viewers.
