Movie adaptations of videogames usually get a lot of unpleasant reviews. And in most cases, these reviews are justified. Bad acting, horrible special effects and overall bland plots usually do not do the videogame justice. However, Mortal Kombat is a movie that deserves none of these reviews. If you’ve seen the 1995 movie and you love videogames then Mortal Kombat is probably something that you consider a classic. Sure, the movie got cheesy at times but for the most part, it was fun and Paul W.S. Anderson did a great job on staying faithful to the videogame.

For years, there have been talks of a third installment but that’s all it’s been so far—merely talks. When the 3D Gaming Summit was held recently in Los Angeles, gaming fanatics wanted to know when Anderson might start working on the third film.

Anderson told reporters that he “loved making the movie”. More importantly, he was already into the Mortal Kombat videogame even before he started working on the movie adaptation. He even talks fondly about playing the game back in his hometown in England. Unfortunately, Anderson confessed that no one has approached him yet with a proposal of another MK movie, although he assures fans that he will jump at the chance if an offer comes up especially since it was the movie that launched him in Hollywood.

So movie studios out there, Mortal Kombat fans are united in their plea: make the offer!
