i mean this actually looks good. No one really should be expecting a deep plot. I hope it's dope throughout
Ehhhh. I get all I need from Mortal Kombat from the games now. The thrill of "Whoa what if the fatalities looked really cool?!" from back in the day is taken care of.
Surprised at some of the negative responses here - I thought it looked pretty spot on!
Mortal Kombat is has always been cheesy and edgy, that's a huge part of the fun of it - sure the dialog is pretty ropey but I think this nails the overall tone. I'm pleasantly surprised on how much it looks like it's taken from the games rather than shy away from it like a lot of video game adaptations do.

It sounds like the special forces named him that, and he just owned it.
I looked him up he's a new character for the movie only. (I thought he is in the recent games; I stopped playing MK after 3)
Basically, he is like Alice in the Resident Evil Movies.
That's the quality writing I'm looking for.
I'm down for this. It's looking like unapologetic fun.
Out of breath Scorpion lol. Isn't the dude in his 60s? Wouldn't be surprised if that was actually leading to Sub-Zero's death right there. Seems so obvious that'll be Noob Saibot. The fight could lead to his iconic fire breathing fatality.
Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie is still the current reigning champ for video game adaptations, with Assassin's Fist being the best of the live action. This film might give either of those a run for their money.
LMAO, no. Not even remotely. I agree that Kano looks dumb as hell, and Shang Tsung is very questionable, but the rest seem alright. If it's been a while since you've watched any of the previous MK films, I suggest you do so soon. The original was still "the best" of them, and it has not aged well at all. The best time to watch it was at release during the fighting game zeitgeist anyway. I just rewatched it two years ago, and aside from a few cool scenes, it's fucking terrible, and Annihilation is even worse. This film, while likely to be as weak as the original for storytelling certainly looks much better visually.

Dude thought he was on the set of Mandalorian
Kano! Liu Kang! Kung Lao! Raiden! Sonya! And a guy in jeans!
I really don't get some of the negative reactions I see.....it wasn't like people WANTED or WISHED for a new MK movie. They made it and it looks good so why even critize it? Just enjoy that we get a NEW MK movie! and stop being picky with it. Like did you really expected great dialogue or oscar worthy acting from a MK movie....bruh
dat hat tech
Kano! Liu Kang! Kung Lao! Raiden! Sonya! And a guy in jeans!
...
I vouch for this.
Fingers crossed the new MK film can hang in good company.
Okay, it's getting me a bit hyped which is counter balanced with the typical Hollywood script hack of using a brand new character insert instead of working with the massive cast with back in history they can already work with. :|

Looks kind of fun. Will watch it when it arrives on some streaming service.
