"Invitation to fight for something called Mortal Kombat"

Fights might be good but that dialog doesn't inspire much from the plot

Hmm dialogue is a bit weird... may just be the trailer

Not sure about some of the casting either

First half of the trailer and the overall tone seem dire. Very low energy for anything related to MK.

Also, this cole guy is Johnny Cage and they're revealing that at the end of the movie right?

This needs to be cheesy as hell to be good. I don't like the serious gritty tone they are taking with the movie.

Wow that actually looks pretty dope. I'm in. That's the stuff I wanna see although I'm sure Cole is the wild card here. If they do him well he'll be good. If they don't then we'll see.

Overall thats good enough for me.

Looks great, everything but kano... did they forget the cgi or... does he just shoot lazers from his normal eye? cause that was not good

Yeeeeeep, this movie is going to be all fanservice, all the time.

You ain't watching this for the story. You're watching it for the crazy shit.

I saw the Russian leak earlier but yeah I'm sold. Will rent on premium digital day 1 since cinemas are closed here and no HBOMax where I'm at.

there are tons of fatalities in this, sub zero does even an x ray move on scorpion, looks really good so far. at least it seems to be very true to the games. costumes are baller too.

Effects look a little wonky , but it looks they are going all on in the violence and fights , which is that MK is all bout.

Wish it had a lot more color though ; looking a lot of cold colours compared to modern MK

That looks fucking awful
Looks like it could actually be worse than annihilation
I was dying when the girl explained what a birth mark is, wtf?
Most of them look terrible, especially Kano

Looks enjoyable enough, although I did wonder about it taking itself a touch too seriously until the end of it.

What's even the point of the Cole character? I HATE when Hollywood creates random audience insert characters for no reason. I already know I won't care at all about him

This looks fun. The last bit with Kano was great.

The trailer ends with a retooling of the OG MK movie theme, so that's cool.

That was the absolutely weakest "get over here!"

I have ever heard in my life and I very fucking surprised they went with that take.

Who is this Cole guy? Lol.

He's got a birthmark that he was born with.

Also.

It's just now registering that Bi-Han freezing the shotgun in the beginning was like him freezing Sonya's pistol in the old movie except it looks cooler lol. You can see the actual pellet spread.

This looks so bad, and not even in a fun campy way.
