RamRod Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 See no thread for this so I'll make one. Low key one of the movies I'm looking forward to most in 2021. It's out in April which isn't that far away so I think a trailer could be coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'm kinda thinking we should have seen something already... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Doesnt have a very high bar to hurdle in terms of Mortal Kombat movies, but Im not expecting much. At best, Im expect something along the lines of the Tomb Raider reboot movie as far as quality goes. Its supposed to ramp up the violence...which is the only thing that has me excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortal Kombat Legacy was well done I thought. IIRC an Indy filmmaker got some famous friends to help out. It’s all on YouTube I believe.

y*so*blu Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I kind of like the game series, especially Mortal Kombat X, but I doubt I'll see any of the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I never liked the games, but I’ve always thought two things: 1. This property would make a great series of films if done correctly. 2. The game would be amazing if it was turned into an RPG type of game instead of just a fighting game. As far as this adaptation, I think it’s going to suck, I think probably coke snorters got their hands in it, and I think the movie will whiff on what would make it a good property to adapt. Hopefully I’m wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Prince Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I liked the trailer aside from the fact jax asked what do you mean, when the girl said it’s birthmark. the fighting should be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 After everything I said, that doesn’t look terrible. Will watch. Looks to be worth that, which is more than I expected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 With how quiet marketing had been and the film set to release in less than 2 months, that trailer was actually surprisingly solid. My boy Sub Zero lookin great throughout that trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Still can’t get over that line, hopefully it was cut from two. ”its a birthmark” ”what do you mean?” ”he was born with it” But I’ll let it side since it’s the shape of a dragon, so can be confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KManX89 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Wow that trailer actually doesn't look half-bad. Loved that they released a Red Band trailer right from the outset. At the very least, I can rest easy knowing that it's a true MK movie this time around. And the fatalities actually looked pretty dope. Not digging the CGI blood, though. Why did they ditch practical blood? It feels like EVERY R/unrated film uses it now, it looks fake. Still loving the fatalities, though, and definitely looking forward to seeing the whole thing.

There’s only so close to “reality” you want to get with this stuff when it’s being presented to a mass audience. Especially with how many fatalities there likely will be, they aren’t going for pure gore porn. Using that digitized blood makes it feel closer to the video game, and it also allows you to use that blood how you want to (frozen blood dagger!!!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
