First 80 percent of the movie was trash. Terrible writing.

Last 20 percent felt like Mortal Kombat. Like a completely different director.


After that first fight that was released early, the movie was boring as shite for the next hour, and like you said, it picked up at the end.

So glad this was on HBO Max. I would have been pissed to see this garbage in theaters.

Nightwolf was an Easter egg in the movie; showed an image of him on sonyas board talking about the history of the tournament

I enjoyed it. If you’ve ever played the games and don’t take movies too seriously I think it’s pretty solid

Not trying to start anything but you are naive if you dont think this goes on everywhere. Went to catholic school throughout the 90's and it was bad then.

I am not a mortal kombat fanboy, but I really enjoyed the movie. I also had zero expectations for it.

Tadanobu Asano is one of the best Japanese actors currently working. He's the only good actor they hired for this thing. Him sucking indicates a director problem. Every single performance sucking also points to a director problem.


It was a casting mistake. Raiden is supposed to be a towering white guy. Casting a short asian that can barely speak English was never gonna work

I remember in the snes mk1 cartridge, he was 7 feet tall in his character bio lol

Dolph Lundgren or Alexander Skarsgård would have been more true a look to the character.

Originally Liam Neeson was supposed to be Raiden but backed out.

Yeah, I am still trying to figure out who he is. They based the movie on a descendent of Scorpion which is a fresh take, but has nothing to do with any of the games.

Cole is a brand new character that takes on aspects of the characters Kobra, Mokap, and "Stuntman" who were basically punching bags.

The only character in the games that has used tonfas was Jax in Deadly Alliance when everyone had an assigned weapon.

Exactly! Why didn’t he get an arcana? What did I miss?

His acting was pretty bad. Especially when he was talking to Raiden

no, they were both Lin Kuei.

But this take on the story, none of it seems to matter or make sense, so maybe.

Kinda stupid with the way he took apart the 4 armed monster after he got the suit with the swords attached or whatever they were. That monster was terrifyingly powerful looking and should have killed him after a few blows. These movies can be so dumb sometimes with shite like that.
