A Flawed but Fun Fatality-Filled RideMortal Kombat (2021) - A Campy Yet Great Remake of the Franchise Mortal Kombat (2021) is a love letter to fans of the long-running fighting game franchise, embracing its over-the-top action, brutal fatalities, and cheesy one-liners while delivering a modern take on the saga. It may not be a flawless victory, but it's a bloody fun ride that understands the essence of Mortal Kombat.…

Enjoyed it overall but the story was meh. Loved that they had goro and other characters and that they also alluded to characters like kitana by showing off her fan and stuff. I wish that there was a tournament in the film and they stuck closer to the Mortal kombat story. Cole Young was not a very good character in my opinion.

Mortal Kombat shows off some amazing design and stunt work, but the writing keeps it from everything fans wanted it to be. Hopefully, the sequel will learn from these shortcomings. I would be lying if I said Mortal Kombat (2021) was everything I had hoped. But I also enjoyed it and hope the sequel does happen someday soon. Pros: * The character roster was pretty big for a first outing, and I appreciated seeing…

OK... my wife is the Mortal Kombat fan of the family, and the fighting game fan of the family. So this should really be her review... because I'm just going to trash it. The problem here is plot, as in they actually tried to add in a real plot. Mortal Kombat is a fighting game. You play it to peacefully beat your friends to a bloody pulp... and that is where the fun is. But they added a plot. In Twister, the…

Mortal Kombat is not just too long for a movie based on a fighting video game; it’s actually too dumb to even be a movie based on a fighting video game. On the one hand it does a Resident Evil, introducing a new character and making him the hero, instead of giving this role to an already established character – preferably one that is, you know, popular among the franchise’s fan base. And on the other hand, it dips…

I've played Mortal Kombat since it first came out. I watched the original movies in the theaters. I had high hopes that maybe a reboot would make it feel fresh and maybe establish it as a darker genre like the games are. The only saving grace in this film is the Scorpion and Sub-Zero Feud. I felt disconnected from Raiden and Shang Tsung because they were so emotionless and hollow. I did like who they got to play K…

OK LETS start off with if you have not watched the latest animations of mortal kombat this will movie will make you feel abit effy. You will need more background on the actual characters you know from previous movies and those you don't. and the True scorpion and sub zero animation also covers alot. Good fighting movie though. Shouting GET OVER HERE!!!!!!and FINISH HIM haha it makes a person feel like you part of it.

Okay so let's start by saying I wasn't exactly sure what to think going into this movie I didn't know what was going to happen but wow this is one of the best action films of the decade so far yeah it started slow but really was a good full time of excitement

This movie feels like disposable entertainment—utterly unremarkable. The action sequences didn’t stick with me, though the filmmakers did make an effort to include some graphic violence that felt true to the source material. Performances were just okay, and the writing was noticeably weak; it also seemed to drag on for about ten or fifteen minutes too long. It's unlikely to stay in my mind for very long, but consider…

I ended up enjoying this more than I anticipated. While I’ve given the games a try, fighting games aren't really my thing (though the Injustice games managed to hold my interest because of their story). The earlier films were enjoyable and didn't try to be overly serious—which was a positive—but they did become excessively theatrical and over-the-top. The most recent animated series took itself far too seriously, …

Even though I consider myself a gamer, I’ve never been particularly fond of the Mortal Kombat games, likely because I didn't really know how to play them. Aside from occasional visits to my neighbor's house to play on his PlayStation 1 or 2, and playing the game on nostalgic arcade machines that brought me joy when I was younger, my experience with the franchise has been limited. To be honest, I don’t precisely recal…

Those familiar with the Mortal Kombat franchise know attempts to translate its violent, controversial gameplay into live-action have been hit or miss. The initial film from 1995 was reasonably successful, but the 1997 sequel let down viewers who were tired of the PG-13 rating applied to the series. Later efforts, like the 2011 television show, also failed to satisfy fans, particularly as the game itself had become…

It's difficult to create films set within an iconic world—the pressure is immense, especially when many characters demand attention and resources are restricted, particularly during a pandemic. Despite these challenges, the director achieved something remarkable. This represents the strongest film version of that celebrated story.
