  2. In my opinion, this film was amazing in my book for a video game movie. I’m going to rate it at a 9/10. It was really enjoyable to watch from start to finish and some of the characters were pretty good. I know I’m in the minority, but Cole Young is a great character I could get behind and he is really interesting if they can flesh out his story even more in future sequels (this is not sarcasm). I’m not trying to spoil, but some characters were wasted and I see why they did it. I liked all the characters on the Earthrealm side (even Cole Young) and liked some of the characters on the Outworld side (Mileena, Kabal, Sub Zero, and Shang Tsung). Also, the story was decent because it’s bare-bones plot that is simply just meant to be the sides of good vs bad. Overall, this film was great also because it did its job as introduction to the MKU.I think us MK fans are going to have an enjoyable experience with this film and we should give it a watch to support it for the future MKU 🤞

    As for NetherRealm and Ed Boon, I hope they acknowledge this film. It would be a wasted opportunity if they didn’t cross-promote it with MK 11. This is especially since the movie was released on the two-year anniversary and they have said nothing.

  3. I just think the cussing was extremely overdone. It doesn't offend me, however the sheer amount of cursewords that made it into the script was almost genuinely cringy. It felt forced, like the writers WANTED it to be as "offensive" as possible, as if the gore wasn't enough. "How about we make everyone say "fuck" and "shit" every 3 words!"

  4. Must've seen a different film. The movie was bad. Only thing that saved it was the 2 subzero and Scorpion fights. The fight choreography from the other fighters were bad, to many camera angles to make sonya and jax look like they can fight. Cole was the worst part of the movie. They took the plot from mortal kombat 3 and made it worse.

  5. My brother is going to play the film in our backyard with a projector. He subscribed to HBO Max and we’re gonna watch it later tonight with a bonfire. I’m looking forward to it and really hope it gets the green light for another film.

  6. This might actually rank in for me as the most disappointing movie I’ve ever seen, and that was with me actively trying not to set my expectations too high. The Scorpion and Sub-Zero stuff was mostly great, but the majority of the rest of the film was extremely, avoidably and unnecessarily disappointing. The story was very poorly developed, some of the dialogue was very cringiy (and without the excuse of the movie coming out in the 90’s), and most of the characters were done a great disservice. Liu Kang and Kung Lao were reduced to side characters in order to give Alice—I mean Cole—more screen time. Goro looked great but was completely misused. Scorpion had about as much screen time as Jason in his real body in Jason Goes to Hell. Mileena looked nothing like Mileena and was so underutilized, it would’ve been better to keep her out of the movie and reserve her for a sequel that actually had Kitana in it as well. Reiko didn’t look or act like Reiko and could’ve been any random henchman. Nitara was unnecessary and could’ve been anyone as well.

    I waited the whole movie for Kano to get his metal eye plate or for it to be revealed under his skin, only for the concept to be dick-teased a bunch of times with it never actually happening.

    How Jax got his mechanical arms was really fucking stupid. In fact, the whole dragon mark and “arcana/superpower that gets unlocked if you get emotional enough” thing was a joke.

    There were more holes in the plot than Swiss cheese.

    Even most of the fight scenes were pretty bad; the Scorpion and Sub-Zero scenes were very well done, but otherwise, there were maybe one or two other fights that were good or decent. The rest suffered from subpar choreography and horrible cinematography that constantly cut away from the action and/or repeatedly zoomed in too much to see the action properly; people are raving about the fight scenes and how “great” they were just because there were fatalities, but in most of them, the distance from point A to point B was disappointing. It’s almost as if an entirely different film crew worked on that opening scene (which was great), and then was inexplicably replaced with a less skilled crew who decidedly work with a completely different script, after which point Hiroyuki Sanada and Joe Taslim were then just legally stuck finishing the rest of the film.

    Also, while they looked very impressive, Raiden and Shang Tsung had absolutely no personality compared to their 1995 counterparts. And some of Shang Tsung’s dialogue was so fucking bad and contrived, it reminded me of some of the dialogue from the original Resident Evil game, most notably, “If you, Jill, the master of unlocking…”

  7. What I think they should have done with Cole Young to make it more interesting:
    Based on the theory that Cole Young is Kuai Liang (Sub Zero 2.0), the young little brother in Lin Kue family. Make him losing all of his past memories & stranded on present earth since young age (4-5 years old). Bi Han actually on Quan Chi whims because Kuai Liang is dead & Quan Chi promise to revive him, but Bi Han need to do years of dirty deeds equals to the amount of souls to revive someone. Of course this whole thing is a lie because Kuai Lang (Cole Young) still alive & his assassination failed by him stranded/missing on earth.

    Only in this case case, with the coming back of his arcana, his ki power as ice bender is unlocked, bringing back his past memories bit by bit until how he & Scorpion managed to killed Bi Han. It will be such interesting twists & emotional wrecks for the character for sure, giving him more depths down the line. This will also give us more questions how Cole/ Kuai Liang got stranded to the present time in thw first place.

  9. If you enjoy movies for mouth breathers, then you'll love this dreck.

    Mortal Kombat (2021) is the Affliction t-shirt of terrible movies.

    Just an irredeemably stupid movie—even by the sea level low standards set forth by prior video game adaptations.
