Upon watching Mortal Kombat Conquest: Final Battle (I did wonder as to why the producers didn't decide to spell 'Conquest' with a 'K', keeping with the Klassic tradition of replacing a hard 'C' sound with the letter 'K'), I finished it and vowed to never watch it again. However, i did decide to revisit it a few days later, as I'm not normally one to judge something on a single viewing, and as it finished, I understood why i made the vow of avoidance. Most of the show is not actually based on the story of the (in my opinion, phenomenal) Mortal Kombat series, and i saw it as basically a vehicle to try to shoehorn some overly muscular men and barely clothed women into an appalling attempt at a martial arts film. Although some of the fight sequences are very good and well choreographed, they are tainted by the significant lack of any distinguishable story line and acting ability. If you're looking for an amazing Mortal Kombat TV/Web series, watch Mortal Kombat: Legacy instead. Oh, and Shang Tsung's sex scene is just insulting.
