MikeT14 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I also thought the fight scenes were pretty damn cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Whelp I enjoyed it and was thoroughly entertained. The amount of nitpicking on such little trivial details here is funny to me. We're talking about a movie where warriors with supernatural powers from competing realms are battling each other for control of the Earth... I wasn't exactly expecting some masterpiece of storytelling... I was impressed with the costumes and the close depictions to the games. Kabal in particular looked awesome. I also like how this never got to the tournament. How it was a bunch of ambush fights. Felt more like an origin film. I suspect in the sequel we will actually see the tournament. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar12 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) They really nerfed Goro he was the tournament champion for hundreds of years. He was a problem in the original games. Edited April 24, 2021 by Blackstar12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingseanjohn Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) This feels like something that the old SiFi (or SyFy) channel would have created with a slightly bigger budget. Edited April 24, 2021 by kingseanjohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a problem in the original games. Yea this I agree with. Trying to beat Goro in the games was a hair pulling, controller throwing, tantrum throwing nightmare. I don't like that he went out so early and easily. But.... considering he was full CGI (and not very good CGI) I'm totally OK with him not being in the sequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the movie have flaws? Sure, but i still enjoyed the call backs to the game with the way Kung Lao showed up, Kang and Kano with the leg sweeps. Kabal looked good, the deaths were awesome.

August4th Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Josh Lawson was a big discovery in this for me. I would like to see him in other big projects in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamRod Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Kano’s pop culture references were odd and felt out of place for me. I’m just imagining international criminal Kano settling down in his free time and doing a marathon of the Harry Potter movies or watching Magic Mike.

Kim Jung Un loves American pop culture. I’m not saying you’re a butt, but... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
