Fizzzzle Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Man after watching Mile 22 and how offensively fucking bad that movie was, simply having actors that are good at stunts ain't doing it for me. The movie had fucking Iko Uwais and chopped his scenes to dog shit. I was offended by how bad that movie was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I'd argue it resembles the blood in "Ninja Assassin" which, crazy as it sounds, was actual FX blood and NOT CGI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'll be getting off work in another 12 hours, take my wife out for breakfast to our favorite diner, grab some groceries, head home while I anxiously await the arrival & delivery of my new offset smoker/grill combo & watch this in the interim. Also will be going to a theater on Sunday to see it w/ a buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'm about 1/4 of the way through the movie and its... not good. Not horrible, but really, really not good. The acting sucks, the fight scenes so far are chopped to pieces, the backstory isn't explained whatsoever (not that the lore of Mortal Kombat is really that clear to begin with). We'll see if it all comes together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booooooooo I finished the movie... it was ok. About as good as you would expect a Mortal Kombat movie to be. It really is a setup to a series of movies I think. It's interesting that characters actually die (although I doubt death is permanent in this world). Fight scenes range from ok to decent and the same with VFX. This movie is definitely better than the first two from back in the day. Turn your brain off and watch the blood fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heydude93 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Is it true that Cole isn't based on any character from the games? Does it at least feel like a justified creative choice, or does the movie center around him because of "we wanted to make a new character to function as a guide into the world of MK for viewers" reasons, as though a character in the lore couldn't have the same purpose?

NeoJoe Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 My expectations were low but holy crap was that bad. There are like 189 MK characters to pick from and they still made a brand new one for the movie lead and he sucks. And all this talk about the MK tournament and there wasn't even a freaking tournament. lol The last fight was decent at best but this movie overall was hot garbage.
