I’m your host, Darren Van Dam!
Mortal Kombat is one of, if not THE best movie based on a video game ever made. It holds true to the concepts and themes of the game while bringing enough new elements to the table to keep the movie fun and interesting. By no means was a movie based on a fighting game ever going to transcend cinema… but video game based movies have struggled for nearly 3 decades and Mortal Kombat (2021) might just be the best representation of a video game on film, to date.
Tired of looking for good movies to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime or other streaming services? Every week I recommend a handful of the best movies on Netflix, Amazon, HBO etc. so my subscribers never run out of good movies to watch on streaming. Spending 10 minutes watching one of my videos could save you hours of searching, hours that you could otherwise spend watching good movies on streaming that you otherwise might not have ever watched or even known about.
Thanks for watching!

I will say, the credits roll with a new version of the Mortal Kombat theme. It's not bad but it's not gonna scratch your itch for the old one so here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxsNnUAyfd4
Sonic was quite good.
"Best movie based on a video game movie… EVER". That's a pretty low bar. There are some decent movies based on video games like the original Resident Evil, but no really good ones.
Comment
Really? I heard this was awful
Monster Hunter, how can you miss this!?!?!?! Also Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children – another effing LEGEND of a movie…..
I'm not spamming the comments. It just needs to be repeated 3 times. MONSTER HUNTER! MONSTER HUNTER! MONSTER HUNTER!
I love the movie i will be watching it a couple more times
awesome review. Going to IMAX tomorrow….then going to watch it again at home.
Detective pikachu and Sonic the hedgehog: are we a joke to you?
I JUST finished watching Mortal Kombat, I LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!! If a sequel doesn't happend I WILL riot!
movie was good ha i liked kanos role lol
oh shit as i was writing u mentioned him lol
Kano is played by the pharmacist in Superstore! Total opposite of his pharmacist character! But his delivery is quite funny.
Stupid movie ? Odd supernatural elements?? You sure you & your lady really play MK at home??
I just finished watching a movie, and it’s about time they got things right! Plus it’s rated R, put the kids to bed and let the adults have some fun
I’ll be watching for sure, thanks!
Opening scene was killer. So was the Goro fight as well as the Subzero/Scorpion fight later on.
Silent Hill and Sonic guy. But yea I expect this one to take the crown. But don't forget Ninja Turtles may have started as a comic. But they have video games too.
I'm just waiting on a Zelda or Megaman movie. Oh and Need for speed wasn't to bad.
Only 60 hours gameplay? Hold my beer…
Good to know, I plan on watching it after work.
4/10
I woke up at 4:30 am and watched it before work haha, finished it about 20 minutes before I had to leave was perfect timing, definitely entertaining **wished there would of been an actual tournament though
Overall it was a pretty solid adaptation, I just wished it was much more violent, but I understand MPAA restrictions. Highly recommend it to fans of the games and action flicks
This being the "best" vg movie, doesn't say much. Watched it. Decent fights, not great. Acting was horrible. I'd say a good bad movie, at best.
Really? The best video game movie ever? What about Detective Pikachu and Sonic?
I saw the beginning last night and diggin it!
only cause i just say it check out the tax colletor just saying
Fantastic critique, Darren. The passion you put into Flick Connection is outstanding. Just awesome 💯⭐️💯⭐️
Looking forward to it
Best video game turned movie is Need for Speed with Aaron Paul (from Breaking Bad)
