This is a movie that’s tailor made for bad reviews. Can’t wait to watch it though.Really or are you being sarcastic? Was going to watch it but reviews are not terrific.
Well the first one was the equivalent of taking the bar and burying it 25 feet underground. It’s not hard to get over at that pointIt cant be worse than the first one
It cant be worse than the first one
Think yall are thinking of the second one, which is consistently in the ranks of worst movies ever made. The first was at least respectable.Well the first one was the equivalent of taking the bar and burying it 25 feet underground. It’s not hard to get over at that point
The snobs who loved the first one are gonna hate it. This one has more subtle to the game references with new characters introduced. My buddy who is a big fan of the overall story loved it thoughReally or are you being sarcastic? Was going to watch it but reviews are not terrific.

It's free at home on hbo max."popcorn" movies are a lot better at home with bourbon
Lol I watched the first 40 minutes last night before I fell asleep. The scene where sub zero iced the guy’s arms and snapped them off was cool. Not sure I’ll finish though.I can’t figure out which responses are genuine and which are sarcasm.
I’m far from a movie snob - I’ve watched Godzilla v Kong, Hobbes v Shaw, and the 4 hour Justice League movie (twice) in the last month but this looks pretty terrible.Lol I watched the first 40 minutes last night before I fell asleep. The scene where sub zero iced the guy’s arms and snapped them off was cool. Not sure I’ll finish though.
I only ever played the original game so I just know raiden, sub zero, scorpion and maybe a few others. So I can’t really follow along with all these randos in the movie.
This is about where I got to, and also the bolded was the only thing worthwhile up to that point.Lol I watched the first 40 minutes last night before I fell asleep. The scene where sub zero iced the guy’s arms and snapped them off was cool. Not sure I’ll finish though.

Yea maybe the back half has all the fighting. The acting between the guy who had his arms ripped off and the boring boxer guy was alarmingly bad.This is about where I got to, and also the bolded was the only thing worthwhile up to that point.
I guess for people that really love the game and geek about about the fighter's back story and stuff this might me good. For button mashers like I was that just wanted to get to the damn fighting between cool looking characters, this is a bit dull.
Yep. I watched it last night when I was posting that. Much better than going to a movie theater.It's free at home on hbo max.
Totally agree.There were parts that were really good and parts that were just terrible.
SPOILER ALERT
The biggest misstep, to me, was the fact that the entire movie is premised on Mortal Kombat, and there was no Mortal Kombat.
(I guess the spoiler tags don’t work any more?)
Wait they never do the tournament????There were parts that were really good and parts that were just terrible.

If by tournament you mean a single elimination fight to the death between all kinds of awesome opponents with cool fighting moves and finishes similar to the video game with the same name then no, no they do not.Wait they never do the tournament????
I have an hour left and not sure I’m gonna be able to do it. That’s the only thing I wanted to see.If by tournament you mean a single elimination fight to the death between all kinds of awesome opponents with cool fighting moves and finishes similar to the video game with the same name then no, no they do not.
Why would you expect that?
Blanco and Dhalsim were my favorites.The next one has Johnny Cage and I hope the dude with the sword arms. That is the guy I always picked.
I’m not video game expert, but pretty sure at least one of those dudes was in street fighter.Blanco and Dhalsim were my favorites.
This was the only reason that I would have watched it. I figured with it being rated R and current movies love for shock and gore that they should have just focused on cool fighting scenes that end with different finishing moves, minimal back story. Who cares who lives or dies? It's not like these types of movies need to be a trilogy.If by tournament you mean a single elimination fight to the death between all kinds of awesome opponents with cool fighting moves and finishes similar to the video game with the same name then no, no they do not.
Why would you expect that?
Wasn't that Baraka? He was my favorite tooThe next one has Johnny Cage and I hope the dude with the sword arms. That is the guy I always picked.
This - I kept waiting for the Mortal Kombat and then towards the end it just became an assassination movie. Me thinks they are setting up a sequel.There were parts that were really good and parts that were just terrible.

Rumored to be played by WWE wrestler...The Miz.The next one has Johnny Cage and I hope the dude with the sword arms. That is the guy I always picked.
Totally agree. I kept waiting for the tournament to start - which I actually think the original movie* set up pretty well - and then there wasn't any. I also then got a little frustrated with how easy Goro went down.There were parts that were really good and parts that were just terrible.

Huh okay then. Be interesting to see how he's in the second movie.Easy guys. They have at a minimum 3 movies planned. Subzero’s actor has been signed to 5 films.
So, no. They weren’t going to have the final tournament in this movie.
It's it a cinematic masterpiece? Absolutely not. But I'd finish the hour. They kind of set it up like a tournament and the last fights are pretty good.I have an hour left and not sure I’m gonna be able to do it. That’s the only thing I wanted to see.
