The actual caged, no holds barred fights between Outworlders and Earth-realmers. I wanted to see an actual tournament presided over by Shao Kahn yet something like this never happened, it was more of a squabble between a fraction of the full gamut of MK characters.



And don't tell me a series of ring death matches won't work in a movie; that was the whole plot of Jean Claude Van Damme's The Quest and that movie was frigginawesome.
preach it bro !!!

100% agree... from the START of the move...we've won 9 tourneys in a row...blah blah blah... movie proceeds to not show a tourney. Da fuq.

I think they are trying to Milk it like Marverl series.. maybe do 3or 4 films.. but whatever. HBO max = $0.00 on the movie. 7/10 due to good effects and gore.

They kept it moving pretty well the last 60 mins.
Just trying hard to not be a fat sack-o-chit.

The female cast was terrible. No titties or ass.

Mileena is not black and her costume was lame.

Sonya Blade looks like a trailer trash version of Lara Croft.

No Kitana but it probably is best since they would’ve casted some skinny, less than average looking girl to play the role.

Watched it for free so whatever. I have zero expectations for leftist politically correct Hollywood now days. Movies are not enjoyable anymore.

When Kano is carrying your MK movie, there is a big problem here.

All the had to do is remake the first one. But clearly they had no interest of making a coherent movie.

There doesn't need to be a part 2.

Imo the only way this works for live action will be a mini series like Spartacus.

It will give you time to invest into a character then have a fight an episode with fatalities or whatever. It will give the plot context and they can take their time with it.


Mortal kombat doesn't work as a movie.

Make it a genuine tournament ala undisputed 3/4.

Will Wights cradle series also has a good tournament with friends pitched against each other as well as opposing factions.

DBZ stuff too.

The groundworks been done. They just need to follow the blue print.

Ok it was awful....


....but was it awesome?


I'm prepared for a lackluster plot and acting as a catalyst for badass and awesome fighting moments.

Does it do that?
