Mortal Kombat (2021)
3/10
Felt like a YouTube fan film.
3 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Cole's plot armor was cheesier than the entire original 1995 movie.

Why did Sub-Zero and Scorpion's outfits make them look so fat with all of the padding?

Goro looked like he belonged in World Warcraft and was completely wasted.

Kano was funny. Sub-Zero was basically Michael Myers .. so that was neat. Fatalities looked great.

Liu Kang and Shang Tsung are forgettable compared to the OG film. Couldn't hear a thing Raiden said.

Good fx, choreography was fine, and nice of them to show some lesser known characters. Kabal & Kung Lao were top notch.

Cole is completely unnecessary with the huge amount of MK characters that there already are. He cheapened the final fight.

Akana is also random and a new element that I can live with.. but why?

The 1995 film did way better capturing the essence of what Mortal Kombat was, came out at the right time, and had a way bigger impact. Mortal Kombat 2021 was just ok.. and that's sadly it.

With that being said.. I hope they improve upon what they have in the sequel. Looking forward to seeing it and please kill Cole's character within the first scene or forget about him.

Didn't want to watch it because it was animated
10 April 2021
I've been putting this off because it's animated and I'm sick of cartoons.. have two kids that watch Cartoon Network all day, but holy hell was I wrong. This is my favorite animated thing I've watched in years. Has an old school animated feel, story was great, voice acting superb, and the gore was flawless. Bring on a sequel. I will not hesitate again!

Weirdest movie I've ever seen
17 November 2019
I needed a breather after this film. It was just two people bickering back and forth from what seemed like a Kevin Smith dialogue type script. Every scene was just them using words that no one would use in a real conservation. My wife and I couldn't wait until this one was over. halfway through the film she tells me "Last time I pick a movie. This one was bad."

A shame since we both like Keanu and Winona.
