CAUTION, MORTAL KOMBAT SPOILERS:
Really enjoyed the cinematic upgrades to the classic 95’ film. Still terrible acting but what can you expect out of a movie like Mortal Kombat. Very cool Kombat scenes. Very cool special effects. Glad they introduced some of the characters not in the original movie, Kung Lao, Mileena, Kabal...wasn’t happy about how easily Goro died, that’s the prince of darkness! Also, wish there was an actual tournament like in the video game, but I understand it had to be different than the original. I did enjoy the background aspects of the character development like Scorpion and Sub Zero. I thought the opening scene was the best part of the movie to be honest. Also enjoyed the little “throw in’s” they put in there to compliment the game and the original movie. The game with phrases like, finish him, fatality, flawless victory, and get over here. The movie with the hints of the original techno soundtrack. Overall give it a 7. Loved the original back in 5th grade and loved it even more with the 2021 version. Nostalgia has a big effect on me. Def recommend!!!!
edit: OP, time to change the title of the thread now that it’s out.
