Ayoooo Raiden wasn't shyt in this Kano was hilarious and legitimately carried this filmLui Kang and Kung Lao were way too underutilized and Kang got his ass whooped waaaaay too much Mileena I need her back asap definitely a lot of easter eggs with the visuals of their powers Subzero and Scorpion were the reasons for this film. The Scorpions revenge animated film should've been what this was based on moreI didn't mind Jax n SonyaSubzero pulling up on Cole and fam in the real world was legit I need more of that honestly that was dope as hellKung laos fighting had me

Spoiler

Between him hopping out the hat like the game and the fatality

OG Cari is STILL the only Shang Tsung I acknowledge Cole and the family was not needed Scorpions path of revenge would've more than sufficed or Jax m Sonya They did a terrible job of writing Raiden and the Goro disrespectThe Great Kung Lao and other character easter eggs was cool. The tome was definitely all over the place and it seemed to rush a lot. Like weird edits and scenes feel like they're missing I'd be in for another movie but they need to make this a show instead so everyone can get fleshed out and the kombat story can be told better. Kabal was cool

Y’all talking like y’all expected a godfather level storytelling movie

shyt was better than Godzilla vs Kong

 

[Tommy Knocks]

This shyt was fire.. definitely going to be a part 2

and these nikkas hating are going to watch that too.

 

[Afro]

Well that was...


Mediocre.

The new guy was a random way for Scorpion to come back briefly.

and these nikkas hating are going to watch that too.

No shyt, everyone gets one chance

Jax didn't die and had some good lines.

Still got Liu Kang

I'm cautiously in for the next one

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Did they basically make Kano, Conor McGregor?

 

[taker597]

Feels like this film probably been better as a series than a film franchise, because it really gotta have as many fights as possible.

I'm honestly surprised it even got an R rating and damn near 2 hour run time. Fun ass shyt.

 

[HabitualChiller]

Movie was an unprecedented assortment of cheeks. nikkas might as well should've made it a 3-part series, with each part being 90 minutes. It's nearly impossible to make a Mortal Kombat movie good in only two hours.

Just told one of my Twitter followers this.

Dawg, that shyt would've ran me all da way hot if I had paid for it in a theater.

 

[Afro]

Still hasn't been topped

i think most of the people were real martial artist actors also in the OG MK

You know what, that is what bothered me.

I figured they were going with martial artists this time around and I would get something closer to Korean /south Asian action flicks.I'm spoiled by The Raid, The man from nowhere.

All these damn quick cuts.

Not every actor of course, but like damn

Watching Sonya flipping around for no reason

Joe Taslim was like "easy check "

No

 

[taker597]

The casting for Raiden was a big L.

 

[Ironman]

Wait hold up.....did they remove that whole dialog scene with Sonya talking about Subzero?

 

[dreskii]

just watched it. - honestly was fukken flames.

back to expand on my review. lol

**spoilers**


i give it a solid 7.5/10

I'm a big MK fan - honestly I went in just praying to the elder gods that the writers/directors didn't just absolutely ruin MK for me. My expectations were very low.

There is some weak points in the movie (cole is wack) but I was just psyched to see MK back on screen again. I like that they're building up the universe and I look forward to the sequel.

The fight scenes were dope, Kano was amazing, Liu Kang is shredded as fukk, Mileena is a super baddie, the fatalaties were ill.

I'm reading some of the reviews here and yeah - if you were expecting a masterpiece level piece of cinematic art I can see how you're disappointed but for real I thought the movie was fun and fairly true to the spirit of the Mortal Kombat franchise.

 

[KING WILL]

More of an entertaining movie than a good movie if that makes sense.

I dont get the hate, or the love it's getting.


Sub Zero was dope in this.
