Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The first must-see film of the year.

I watched this tv show, and its extremely underrated. Great characthers development, and the plot is the best you could made out of a videogame fantasy type of plot.
You got Kung Lao, Siro, and Taja, in the classic representation of id-ego- superego that is present in almost every tv show that has 3 protagonists.
The psichology behind every episode is complex, and it treats themes like treachery and trusting, sexuality, inner peace, ambition, search for power and the list goes on.
The fight scenes are kung fu wire oriented, very far away from the mma types of fights from modern movies, but depicting elements of Karate, Kung Fu, Wing Chun, Taekwondo, be prepared for some wrists locks and lots of flying kicks.
The ending is suberb. Stop reading here if you want, because SPOILERS, but it has elements of the baptism scene of Godfather, yes, you read that right, im comparing it to Mario Puzo's classic, in a very unusual plot twist, the bad guy, Shao Khan kills every one of his enemies. The evil won at the ending of this tv show, and in a great fashion.

The stories of the game characters were well told in general and Kung Lao, like the non-game characters Siro and Taja, was great and charismatic, Shang Tsung stole the scene as villain, Shao Khan was a caricature of the game character, Scorpion's new origin was a disaster and it was very worse not having any relation with Subzero (they are deadly enemies in the game), Raiden was a perfect adaptation of the game character and the lesbianity between the reptilians was an outstanding bait to attract the teenage public, but it suddenly ended with only one season, and with all the heroes dead and the evil triumphing! I hated this end!

This show is aimed at adults so don't think its toned down. MK Conquest is a prequel taking place hundreds of years before the movies. The 1st episode you see Kung Lao (wearing the hat for a second) beat Shang Tsung. Although Goro didn't appear in the series it shows what lead to him and Shang meeting. You see the origin of Sub Zero, how he and Scorpion met.A ton of characters appear throughout the series: Noob Saibot, Reptile, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Rain, Kitana, Mileena, Shao Kahn, Quan Chi, Raiden. The villains on the show were a bigger threat than the ones on the movie in my opinion because the villains would occasionally win. Now in all fairness, some of the story lines may not coincide with the games because this show aired in 1998-1999 while a new MK game comes out every couple of years. The fight scenes are a lot better than expected. The only bad thing is they don't have the music to go with the fights like the 1st movie.Its said the show got canceled because apparently a higher budget was requested. The show hasn't been released on DVD(well not legally anyway) and thats a shame. Its a must see though, better than MK2 and on par with the 1st movie.

this was brilliant i loved the fighting scenes and great special effects in this series and everyone who played there character played them really well like scorpion and sub-zero i thought. i hope it goes on TV again i miss it plus id like to give my congrats to the maker of the game series and of course voice of scorpion in two movies Mr Ed Boon id give anything to meet and see how his great mind works maybe even help the team make the next few games but yet one can only dream about such things. this series was brilliant i also liked the cartoon series defenders of the realm but not as much as this one it beats buy a few inch's me i have been a fan ever since it started with the first mortal kombat game who knew it was only a quick project now look at it well done Ed and Team
