When it comes to video game adaptations, it's hard to find the perfect balance between paying homage and being hokey. Where Mortal Kombat succeeds is by including famous game lines like "Test Your Might," "Flawless Victory," and "Fatality!" It also makes sure to stay true to the iconic finishing moves used by the different characters in the game. The best examples of this are Kano's signature heart-rip fatality to finish off Reptile at Sonya's and Shang Tsung using his soul taker fatality to drain Kung Lao's soul. Do some of these moments feel shoehorned in? Yes, but that didn't stop me from pointing at the screen and saying "They did the thing!"
