A fan favorite reboot that misleadingly failed to live up to its own title finds sanctuary on 5 rival streaming services

Warner Bros. is probably breathing a sigh of relief right about now that Mortal Kombat was released into theaters and HBO Max before a legal precedent was set that fans could sue over misleading trailers, a landmark ruling that’s destined to cause a fair share of pickles in studio marketing departments across Hollywood.

As much as longtime enthusiasts of the source material approved of Simon McQuoid’s reboot of the classic video game franchise – with an 86 percent user rating on Rotten Tomatoes comfortably dwarfing a middling 54 percent critical score – it wasn’t lost on a huge number of people that Mortal Kombat came and went without even a sniff of the titular tournament.
