It is numbingly bland, homogenized and deflated by an utter lack of original wit or charm. Worst of all, it is subtly but conspicuously condescending to its target audience.

It's a missed opportunity for introducing the Mortal Kombat generation to medieval combat that was really mortal.

Leonard Klady, Variety

Sluggish and low-energy.
