No. It's a video game (albeit one that's sucked since MK4, IMO) and that's where it should stay.

Nope, Mortal Kombat has just kinda lost the cultural zeitgeist cultural zeitgeist that it had in the 90's. MK 9 & X were both damn good games but at this point a Mortal Kombat movie is just something that nobody is going to think is going to be good.
edit: It's all about striking when the iron is hot. Like the Warcraft film for example, that dropped 14 years after Warcraft 3 and 13 years after World of Warcraft came out. If it had come out in 2013 then it would still have been timely but WoW had been kinda just a hardcore geek thing for a while by 2017.

I have no faith in Hollywood to adapt ANYTHING properly so no. I probably would have has much hatred for it, in fact, as I did for the Power Rangers reboot and the Ghost In The Shell live-action adaptation. I just watched the Power Rangers recently like 2 weeks ago and to my surprise it wasn't bad The problem is it's a generic teen flick in which you could have actually just given them random powers and it would have worked the same

It's absolutely doable. MK's story is actually pretty dirt simple and hard to f*** up. And yet, they managed to do that quite well in the games. If they wanted a successful movie, hard to think of something more apt than the first take on it. Enter The Dragon clone basically.

Matters on the execution. For example, Transformers was a relic franchise outside of some kids TV cartoons and is now a popular billion dollar juggernaut. Peter Cullen is the voice of Optimus Prime to a whole new generation of kids. MK may have legs to spawn a decent trilogy, as long as WB don't micro manage.

Batista is going to be someone for sure! I’d be down for it, I’d love to see a good adaptation Batista as Goro would be boss.

Only if they give it an R rating. There's no point in doing Mortal Kombat without gory fatalities.
