It appears to be faithful to its video game origins -- bringing tons of characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Jax, Kano, Sonya Blade, Goro and so on -- but consequently it also seems to fall victim to the video game movie curse. In that, it might work as a video game movie for the fans of the source material, but it doesn’t really have a universal appeal to viewers outside of that as effectively as certain other films like Sonic and Detective Pikachu. And so today in Anatomy of a Failure, let’s see what weaknesses are born in Mortal Kombat from the video game movie curse and how those weaknesses and curse can be solved. Support:
