Om denne film

MMA-kæmperen Cole Young er vant til at slås for penge, men han kender ikke sin arv – og han ved heller ikke, hvorfor Outworlds kejser Shang Tsung har sendt Sub-Zero, en mægtig cryomancer og kejserens bedste kriger, efter Cole. Cole frygter for sin families sikkerhed og tager ud for at finde Sonya Blade på Jax' bud. Jax er major i specialstyrkerne og bærer det samme mystiske dragemærke, som Cole blev født med. Han finder snart et tempel, der tilhører Lord Raiden, en ældgammel gud og beskytter af Earthrealm og dem, der bærer mærket. Her træner Cole med veterankrigerne Liu Kang, Kung Lao og den vilde lejesoldat Kano, mens han forbereder sig på at stå sammen med jordens mægtigste krigere mod Outworld i en kamp for universet, hvor alt står på spil. Men kan Cole presses nok til få adgang til sin arcana – en stor kraft dybt inde i sjælen – tids nok til ikke kun at redde sin familie men også til at stoppe Outworld én gang for alle?

Bedømmelser og anmeldelser

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.
