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?

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 🌟!!!

I despise when studios make a franchise movie to milk the built-in fan base, but they're ashamed of the characters, so they make their own characters, usually for "representation" reasons. Since this franchise had tons of Asians already, I'm not sure why WB hated them. But clearly, they did. So you get Joe Asian-American. With a dumbass super power. I watched this on HBO Max and still wanted my money back.

Being a fan of the 95' original I had high expectations. The movie starts with the origin of my two favorite characters from the franchise only to barely see them throughout the movie. If they focus the story entirely on Scorpion and Sub-Zero instead of this new character, the movie would have been amazing. This movie was entertaining to watch once but to purchase for $25 it's a no for me. Hopefully if they make a sequel they will fix the problems.
