Mortal Kombat vs Mortal Kombat: Scorpion's Revenge

Summary Mortal Kombat is currently streaming on HBO Max and showing in theaters. The long-awaited live-action adaption of the Mortal Kombat videogame series has been with mixed reviews. We at the Nerding with Friends were not fans. Like the last movie we reviewed, we went in with low expectations, just wanting to see some awesome fights and gore. Questionable acting, a weak story, and lack of memorable fatalities are just a few reasons we didn't like this movie. It was hard to ignore the story and enjoy the fights with how underwhelming the fight scenes were. However, this review is more of a versus thanks to a superior film released a year prior. Much like DC, it seems like the Mortal Kombat animated movies will be better than their live-action counterparts. Mortal Kombat: Scorpion's Revenge is a much better film all around. While we can excuse the effects, the animated film's plot not only has fan service and action but is a far more compelling story. We took a look at both these films and every way we looked at it the animated version comes out on top. Did you see wither of these movies? Which one did you think was better and why is it the animated one? Follow us on Twitter at @nerdingwfriends and let us know or leave your answer in the comments!
