I thought it felt shorter than it's runtime when I saw it...so much so I was disappointed when it ended where it did thinking we still had 20-30 minutes of movie left. I definitely didn't think it was boring. I saw it in theaters tho so at home there are likely more distractions to make it seem boring...

I thought it was good with lots of fighting, blood, and gore. I liked the ending that will be the lead in to a sequel I’m sure.

10 minutes in and so far it's fricking incredible.


The first 7 minutes they released looked identical to Scorpion's Revenge. Does it continue down that path?

Movie looks fake. No way people could really fight like that

No. It is almost nothing like Scorpion's Revenge outside of the fact that Sub-Zero and Scorpion hate each other (which is what their story has been since the very first Mortal Kombat game).

It really was. I'm convinced anyone who rated this poorly just hates Mortal Kombat in general.

I liked it, didn’t love it

I guess I was expecting more after the trailer and the 7min preview

Beginning was great, end was great, in between was kinda meh

I was disappointed with the soundtrack but overall it was good.

It’s nothing like scorpions revenge except the first 10 minutes or so after that it goes in a different direction from the original or scorpions revenge. I’m not sure if it follows the comics I never read them so someone else will have to chime in and say ya or nay.

About halfway through, my only complaint is the casting. Everything else is awesome, but some of the choices feel....not great

I like Kano tho, wish he would’ve taken some HGH for this, but he’s been great comedic relief throughout

Pretty good, much better than those 90s films. Cole felt like a total waste in all honesty. Yall catch that Johnny Cage tease at the end

Yep. Completely unnecessary.

Maybe he'll kill Cole and take his mark. :fingerscrossed:

I thought it was awesome
Was kinda pissed we don’t get to see the tournament.

But I’m pumped for a sequel

yeah, Cole was by far my least favorite part of the movie. I think they nailed the casting for most of the characters but he had no charisma at all

so is this movie appropriate for kids?
I know it's rated R, but is that mostly due to the gore and blood, or is there sexual stuff in it?
