Om denne filmen

MMA-utøveren Cole Young er vant til å få betalt for å få juling, men han er uvitende om arven sin – og hvorfor Shang Tsung, keiseren av Outworld, har sendt den beste krigeren sin Sub-Zero, en ismagiker, for å jakte på ham. Cole er redd for at noe skal skje med familien, og han drar på leting etter Sonya Blade på oppfordring av Jax, en major fra spesialstyrkene som har det samme besynderlige dragemerket Cole er født med. Ikke lenge etter befinner han seg i tempelet til lord Raiden, en gammel gud og beskytteren av Earthrealm, som gir alle med merket et fristed. Her trener Cole sammen med de erfarne krigerne Liu Kang, Kung Lao og leiesoldaten Kano for å gjøre seg klar til å stå sammen med jordens største mestere mot Outworlds fiender i en kamp om universets skjebne. Men vil Cole bli drevet hardt nok til at han slipper løs den utrolige kraften sin i tide til å redde familien sin og stoppe Outworld en gang for alle?

It's a movie that had potential, I knew it had a strong ability to succeed, but it fell short. A typical, yet ANOTHER, disappointing result of game to movie adaptations. While I think, it has done a FAR better job at being a Mortal Kombat adaptation_ it just didn't hit the spot. They got some things right. Characters, gore, "special powers" personalities, some lore. All very decently researched and applied. I'm quite happy that they added the gore aspect to this. Mortal Kombat as a PG-13 movie, is like having a good fiery BBQ, but not adding any BBQ sauce. It's just wrong. I'm happy the characters look familiar, updated, unique, and reflective of the recent games. They've come along way over the years, and I personally enjoy their newest, darkest, and grimier looks. My complains are sadly, many. For start, its too short of a movie. I felt like they started off strong. We were going to learn a bit, experience some formation of character arches, and get a good tournament rolling. Then just under half way, they rushed and half assed the plot. A little bit of convenience at play, I think is the best way to put it. It lacked substances that were needed. If this had been a 2-3 hour movie, they could have done FAR better with, everything. Special effects, I admit, being in 2021_ were a bit low grade. It just felt sometimes that we were going into 2021 equivalent of "The Scorpion King" territory. Some SFX, just, could have been more convincing. My biggest guff is the story. Too short, too conveniently spliced up, too empty. I'm happy they've left the ending open_ letting us know, there is a second one. I do hold dear, that the next one will be better executed.

This was disappointing. I do NOT recommend ever buying this at full price. It was like a good fan made film that you could find on Youtube. When I heard it got an R rating, I was excited, the Mortal Kombat video game series is known for it's absolutely brutal finishers. They have a few, but overall they are incredibly disappointing. The whole scope of this film feels so incredibly small. There are like 3 major locations in total, and everything feels so isolated. I was really hoping for Mortal Kombat (1995) with an R rating and updated visuals. This movie was NOT that at all. I wasn't expecting a very good story from an action movie or even great acting, but the decision to focus on the newcomer Cole was a bad idea. The explanation of their abilities (minor spoiler) *was also an incredibly poor decision as it basically means.. if you kill a chosen one, then you get a magic ability. Does that mean if I run one of them over with a car I will become the chosen one? Whether I have any martial arts prowess or not?* The fight sequences mostly feel generic, slow, and doesn't quite pack a real punch. When compared to other great brutal action movies that Subzero actor Joe Taslim has been in such as The Raid: Redemption or The Night Comes for Us. This movie's action is incredibly and disappointingly poor. You really don't "feel" the impact of any hit at all. So then, poor story and poor action. Why watch this then? I honestly don't know. I am hopeful that the sequel increases the scope and improves upon the choreography. Maybe add some more minor characters to kill off or something.

Positives - Great action and fight scenes - Brutal and gory like a Mortal Kombat movie should be Negatives - Having been a fan of Mortal Kombat since I was a kid, I felt like the writers did not know which direction to go - They kept bring up the tournament, but there was no tournament. - Goro looked great, but had no real part except to die. - Like every other movie that has a "Chosen One" they use a birth mark The original movie from the 90s was far better. Merge the two would be 5 🌟!!!
