Mortal Kombat: Conquest (1998–1999)
1/10
Mortal Kombat: Borefest
3 June 2017
I loved the first movie, hated the second. Heard about this show, but never saw it before. I found this in Poundland. The disc had five episodes.

I watched it and my God, it was dull!

It was talking and talking and talking and talking!

And when it does get to the fight scenes, even they're boring!

The acting is lame and the dire-logue is cringeworthy. Very Saturday cartoonish. Plus this is set 500 years before the events of the first movie and we have characters saying "Bathroom break" and "This sucks".

They keep using the same shot from the first movie where we have the outside of the temple. You can tell it is from the first movie because we can see Liu Kang and his Grandpa in the background as clear as day. Why not digitally remove them?

Sub-Zero's costume and Shao Kahn's helmet are so cheep looking due to the show's low budget.

Apart from Tracy Douglas' nude scene from the fourth episode, I can't think of anything good from this show.

And much like the movies, there is no gore. Boo.......

If another MK series is made, deliver on the gore please. Maybe the directors of "Turbo Kid" might do a reboot, hopefully.
