![]() I wish they had Liu Kang as the main guy, his story is more interesting. One character that i had no interest in was the main guy, Cole. Following him, I enjoyed SubZero and his fight scenes. I was surprised that I fell in love with Kano he was charming, hilarious, and prob the best character. I was excited to see this new movie, and it wasn't that bad, but was still left unsatisfied. I've seen the older movies of Mortal Kombat, and as cheesy and bad CGI as it was, the fights/tournaments, music, and plots were great. The movie suffers from a few of these, but given this is the directors first foray into the world of movie making, I'll take that L, most of the other important things were handled with care, If you know what you're getting and your expectations are right, this movie isn't gonna let you down with violence and gore, if you're expecting more then it's gonna be a letdown. There are also weird editing jumps in the movie, one moment you're looking at characters interacting and in the next you're looking at something completely different. Probably one of the funniest, self aware movie characters I've seen in a long time. He was the biggest and funniest comic relief character in the whole movie, constantly throwing jokes and insults at other characters. Storyline was predictable from the beginning and the writing itself isn't gonna win any awards, characters say their catchphrases from the games in key moments of the film, however, one big surprise for me was the character of Kano. Great action and fight choreography as was to be expected from a movie with this title, special effects regarding characters and their abilities were also very well done especially considering the budget constraints this movie had. 6,5/10 good effort bringing the game on film screen. So, this first film does the job and although not everyone from the game is in it, I m sure all the other favorite characters will appear in the next 2 films and I m looking forward to that. Maybe the lead protagonist is not that interesting compared to the other characters but he seems necessary to keep the story moving forward. Also, the idea to rotate this film's story around the rivalry between scorpion and sub-zero worked it gave some background. Fight scenes get more rewarding halfway through, closer to the game style. Runtime of 1h 50min is works well you will not be bored. Keep in mind that it's a trilogy, so this first film tries to add some background! Luckily there's not much time spent on meaningless conversations and the scenes get into the action parts faster than you would expect. ![]() ![]() If you are familiar with the game, you will like it. Great visuals, excellent fight scenes, good choices on most of the cast (e.g Kano, Scorpion, Sub-Zero) and just a fun movie overall.
