CG strips martial-arts choreography of its impact, but it does allow for hilarious geysers of fake blood Much has been made of the fact that 2021’s “Mortal Kombat,” the second feature-film adaptation of the popular video game, has an R rating — but strip away the exaggerated gore and the rough language, and you’re left with a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie with epic delusions.
Whether it’s a bad guy’s head being crushed like a watermelon between two heroic fists, or the squishy results of Kung Lao turning his weaponized hat into a buzzsaw, the kills in “Mortal Kombat” are so extravagantly bananas as to be hilarious. But is this meant to be comedy? Apart from the occasional one-liner — Cole observes that the titular clash is misspelled, and Kano is a raging ball of id — the film seems to want to take this nonsense deadly seriously.
