3/5
There's a self-aware humor that makes Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match stand out among all the more adult and older teen-appropriate animated features based on video games and/or multiverses. Go to Full Review
Sam Stone CBR 10/28/2023
The latest Mortal Kombat Legends animated movie, Cage Match, is a weird, neon-soaked Johnny Cage-centric adventure. Go to Full Review

6/10
Cage Match feels like the simplest version of what it’s trying to be – a goofy riff on ’80s action movies – even when it comes to bone-shattering moves that take down the mightiest interdimensional demons. Go to Full Review

Nathan J. @NathanDirector May 7 Rated: 6.6/10 ⭐️ I expected a fun, retro 80s action trip, but the choppy pacing and uneven tone left me feeling pretty underwhelmed. What Worked: Spaulding’s blocking and Studio IAM’s neon animation give the 1980s aesthetic a cool, nostalgic weight. Through my Faith Methodism lens, Johnny stepping out of his ego to help Ashrah reminds me we’re called to look past selfish ambitions to protect the vulnerable. The synth-heavy score and Gottfried’s hilarious final performance also give the comedic beats a super dynamic flow. The Cuts: The middle really dragged for me; the secret Hollywood cult mystery stalls the momentum. Keeping it spoiler-free, leaning hard into goofy 80s comedy makes the villain’s plan and the overarching stakes feel half-baked. Plus, the jarring tonal shift between bloody MK fatalities and lighthearted Christmas jokes makes the overall vibe feel pretty inconsistent as well. Verdict: A fun but uneven origin story. Watch if you love Johnny Cage and retro vibes. See more Drew M. @Stonehands211 May 6 Definitely the weakest animation wise but still entertaining and pretty funny. Like the play with satanic panic in Hollywood and Scientology. See more Cristian S @cristiansj Apr 25 Entretenida película animada de accion con un buen toque de humor como caracteriza a Johnny Cage. Estéticamente se ve diferente y genial, con ilustraciones y animación colorida y rápida, todo muy fines de los 80 principio de los 90. El film por si mismo zafa pero esta bastante lejos del nivel que tienen las otras Mortal Kombat Legends y sin ser una mala película es la peorcita de todas.
