The new Mortal Kombat is a miserable experience full of bad writing, bad acting, bad cinematography, and bad editing. Say what you will about the 90s films, those were at least funny bad, and had some fun with the concept. This is just painful.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't say that this movie diverges more than that from what I rationally expected from the Mortal Kombat franchise. Yet it is very disappointing.

It perfectly showcases how shallow the franchise is: the lore could be way more precise and full of details. The characters are just the fighters we all know and they are 'useless' (as Raiden says) if they don't find and use their surnatural powers. The concept of death is really weird since Scorpion is able to come back to life. The protagonists spend the most part of the movie talking about a tournament we don't see in the end (maybe in the sequel who knows). There is no reason for Sub-Zero to be that strong, I mean why would Scorpion need the help of a rookie to defeat him? In general, what irritated me the most was the lack of attention of the producers leading to countless incorrect scenes: fighters have wounds that never heal, that disappear from their bodies to return later in the feature and people's positions always change even if they are not in motion.

Fortunately we deserve some mildly bloody sequences but same problem here: wounds are useless and never taken in account. If there are many easter eggs and special moves 'Mortal Kombat' wasn't that brutal to me excepted some particular scenes. The characters are really unattractive (especially Raiden and Sonya) and I found Kano to be dull and insipide. Cole Young (Lewis Tan) is so uncharismatic.

CGI is gorgeous (but how could it not be that way with the amount of money spend on this feature). Soundtrack is okay but uneven throughout the movie. Overall acting is terrible. Scenario is predictable. No replayability.… Expand

Потом вышли постеры с показом персонажей (выглядело плохо), а на следующий день уже вышел сам трейлер, который меня разочаровал.
Что же я могу сказать по поводу этого фильма? Смог ли он изменить мое мнение. Что ж хотелось бы начать с того, что после просмотра данного фильма я был в полном ужасе. Дело даже не в том, что фильм оказался для меня, фаната этой классной вселенной, ужасно плох. Меня ужаснула реакция людей, которые получали от этого фильма огромное удовольствие. Оказывается, можно снять откровенную халтуру и замаскировать её огромной кучей фансервиса — а зритель будет доволен.
1) Начать хочу с Турнира, которого в фильме… просто нет.
«Но постойте, — возразит знакомый с франшизой читатель, — ведь в большей части игр Турнира тоже не было!». Да, всё верно, но это первый фильм в серии, и он должен был быть посвящен именно Турниру.
2) Что должно быть в центре фильма по Mortal Kombat? Турнир, драки, спасение мира. Нет, в центре фильма — суперспособности, избранные и пророчество. В здешнем Турнире участвуют не лучшие из лучших, а обладатели особой метки в виде дракона, которую можно получить от рождения или убив другого носителя метки. Кому принадлежит эта идея, это же полная хрень!!!
3) Персонажи:
Хорошо: Кано, Соня Блэйд.
Нормально: Кун Лао, Скорпион, Саб-Зиро, Кабал.
Средне: Коул Янг.
Плохо: Шан Цзун, Милина, Джакс, Лю Кан.
Ужасно: Рэйден, Рептилия, Горо, Нитара, Рейко.
Этому фильму можно простить многое, можно придумать много оправданий: «у создателей было мало денег», «это режиссёрский дебют», «ну это же фильм категории B». Вы меня конечно извините, но это ужасное кино!!!
Годы ожиданий не стоили этого!!!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's difficult to make a movie about Mortal Kombat, it's a game with a strange story with strange characters but this movie...is better than the previous one but always a mess.
The moves and the quotes are pretty accurate but well...it's just that.
The new protagonist is the worst of the worst, zero acting and lame lines, even Raiden is portrayed as a douchebag instead of a wise guide.
But the major pile of **** is the "arcana thing"...SERIOUSLY?? Kano, Jax and Sonya's technological equip are now SUPERPOWERS??? Kano use a robotic eye for the laser and Sonya a device on the wrists...NOT **** SUPERPOWERS.
Can we talk about the power of the "heir of Scorpion"? an "armor with 2 random tonfas"??.
Getting an armor is now a superpower guys...I've seen all, that **** was on the level of Dragonball Evolution.
Why 1 point score? because Sub-Zero was pretty amazing and Scorpion too...the only good part.
This movie is a Dragonball Evolution but a little bit more accurate, it's like an amateur movie with a decent budget.
Mortal Kombat is a difficult universe to portray as a movie, to do that you need a giant budget and make it a kolossal movie or you will always get Dragonball Evolution vibes… Expand

En cuanto a los personajes no tiene ningún tipo de desarrollo, el nuevo personaje se siente muy seco, y los demás no llegan a ser muy interesantes.
Lo que cabe recalcar es que las peleas fueron buenas ( o por lo menos la mayoría), y los fatalities fueron increíbles. En fin, creo que tienen bastante material para hacer una segunda parte que sea buena, solo que cambien al guionista por uno que si sepa escribir.
En conclusión: la película es muy tediosa, las peleas son buenas pero no lo suficiente para que vuelvas a ver la película.… Expand

I'm so tired of the leftist bs in movies and in games. Just make a good god-damn movie, leave bs politics and race out of it!

This film’s big issue is that it really didn’t do anything to keep me interested. I found myself dozing off at points and having to rewind a couple times because I would miss something. I also just didn’t really care about the characters that much. Even if you have played the games, a lot of these characters aren’t given arcs and the ones that do have one, their conclusions don’t feel satisfying. The only thing that really kept me going was the fight scenes but it wasn’t because the choreography was cool, it was because I liked the use of blood. The Mortal Kombat games are very violent and this film keeps that element. The film is pretty brutal at points and I enjoyed that but nothing else stood out. The fight scene at the beginning was cool but I don’t remember any of the other fight scenes after that. A lot of them feel like they mesh together and don’t have a big impact on the overall story. The film is bland looking. Nothing about the cinematography or the lighting really caught my eye. I did like some of the production design though. The sets for some of the fight scenes look cool at points and I kinda liked the guy with the metal arms. That’s really about it. There isn’t a whole lot I remember about this film and I watched it less than a week ago. Check it out if you want but you’re missing nothing if you skip it.… Expand

Mainly because those making them understood the game was over the top and somewhatHaving been a fan of the MK franchise since playing the first game in the arcades in 1992, I'd taken the subsequent 'original' movies with a pinch of salt. Mainly because those making them understood the game was over the top and somewhat silly. They didn't try to make them serious or attempt to create something with aspirations beyond what the source material gave them.

However, this MK reboot does try to take itself somewhat seriously and because it's a film designed to appeal to Millennials it's so 'woke' to be unintentionally funny on too many occasions.

The plot bears no real resemblance to the one set out in the original games, instead introducing a new central character, with a backstory that exists just in this film. All the other characters fall from the roster of the MK game series, some more familiar to gamers than others. Sub-Zero is now the main villain, going off on an initial mission to kill the Earth Realm fighters before actual Mortal Kombat begins. Then we get the other bad guys popping up and Shang Tsung basically saying the rules don't apply, so up yours Raiden...

Unfortunately, despite there being a lot of fight scenes in the film, none are choreographed very well. Throw in far too many cuts, zooms, pans, dolly shots, etc as the fights are going on, and you can't really tell what is happening.

Everything else about the film is just 'meh'. The CGI, cinematography, visuals, acting, soundtrack... All just average, with nothing to really discuss.

But as a martial arts action film, it is pretty terrible!… Expand

Okay action movie but horrible Mortal Kombat movie! Brings in a new bland character. Which is dumb because there are a lot and I mean a lot of characters in the franchise already. No need to bring a MMA bad fighter in the story as the main protagonist(which should be Liu Kang). The story was dumb too.... No tournament. They tried to shove too much of the new character in and took away from the existing lore. Some of the fights are good. Some lack the Mortal Kombat vibe and more a rushed mess. Don't waste your time on this movie!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sub-zero seems to be hunting Scorpion’s clan for some unexplained reason, and somehow found Scorpion simultaneously in hiding with bodyguards, yet totally unprepared. Whatever their rivalry, it is left totally in the dark.
Cole’s introduction to the impending Mortal Kombat tournament is rushed, and confusing, creating more questions than it answers. How did Jax find him? Why is the mark of the tournament champions being passed down to Cole through his bloodline? Does the mark get passed down through every bloodline, unless an individual is killed? Are killers inherently stronger and more worthy than their victims, under any circumstances?
How did Sub-zero find Cole conveniently moments after Jax found him and started following him? What kind of supernatural ninja fails to murder a completely unarmed and unsuspecting guy in a restaurant?
Sonya and Jax claim to be part of a special task force researching the Mortal Kombat phenomenon, but they appear to have 0 resources. They are literally operating out of Sonya’s childhood trailer-house, with the cliché spiderweb of pictures and news-clippings tacked to the walls, and no money or any other sort of support.
Sonya captured Kano of camera, with a brief, unsatisfactory after-the-fact explanation. Again, Reptile manages to find Sonya and Cole and get to them without any explanation.
Another odd threadbare plot connection is that Kano conveniently knows where Raiden’s Temple is.
While Jax, Sonya, Subzero, and Reptile have had no trouble finding Cole without any explanation, Raiden and Lui Kang could not be bothered to go out to find Cole, who has been marked his whole life, but they did manage to rescue Jax after he lost his arms. They simply waited around until Cole and Kano arrived, with less than a month to train for the tournament that they have been aware of forever. So, I guess it would have been too much to expect Cole to be brought up preparing for this tournament that he was born to participate in.
Apparently there are Elder Gods that simultaneously set the rules of the tournament, to determine the fates of worlds, but are also “too lazy” to do anything when Outer World cheats? Except Raiden, who is there to help Earth realm, but only so much?
Raiden’s capacity to intervene in events is poorly defined. He goes out of his way to protect the champions from Shang Tsung at first. But when Shang Tsung finally penetrates Raiden’s shield barrier, Raiden claims to be obligated to stand by and remain neutral when Kung Lao is killed.
Our john doe fanfiction writer’s-ego Cole Young did not win a single fight on his own.
His wife helped him with Goro.
Raiden then agrees to use his teleportation ability to basically create game-like match-ups between champions. Sonya kills Kano and she immediately masters her “arcana” power, offscreen, and then magically saves Cole once, before Cole goes on to continue getting his ass kicked again.
After burning in hell for hundreds of years, waiting for no explained reason, Scorpion shows up at JUST the right moment to save Cole from Subzero – but only after letting all the events of this movie unfold.
Why does Scorpion say “Get over here” in English, when he exclusively speaks Japanese the rest of the movie? Why not say it in Japanese?
Jax’ “arcana” appears to simply be the ability to make his unbelievably frail mech-arms into the super strong arms we knew we’d be getting eventually. How can arcana – which generally appear in the forms of classic elemental magic like fire, ice, etc., make flimsy prosthetics into beefy robot muscles? I am not an expert on ableism and the nuances of the “supercrip” trope, but I’m pretty confident that this was a solid example of that ugly, tired trope.
The “arcana” premise is an unnecessary non-canon cliché.
This feels like some amateur’s sophomoric fan-fiction in which Cole is their generic John Doe add-in character so they can fantasize becoming part of the Mortal Kombat universe, canon be damned. The problem with this movie is 90% the script, an uninspired mix of unexplained, rushed plot points, and bad jokes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The proof that special effect does not make it for the rest. The character looks, combat moves and special effects are awesome, though that's all. The character feels empty, their introduction is weird and we feel as it was more about showing as much of them as possible and their magic than making them feel real. They feel more real in MK 11 game. They do not have their vibe (Kano is not scary at all, Shang Tsun looks half geisha and Liu Khang looks on weed ). The story pacing was weird as well. I was not hooked at all and I am a fan since Mk1 game. I will not buy and not rewatch this ever again for sure. Disappointed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is all over the place with its story compared to the 11 games. Has nothing to do with the MK tournament if anything this movie is filler for a series. This move was not exciting at all, compared to MK 9,10, and 11 story modes. Hell at least make an attempt to play the all the games and make this movie for the fans. If anything LET THE FANS DIRECT VIDEO GAME MOVIES, HELLO??? ASK OUR FEED BACK AND STUFF. Cole is such a boring character, he barely talks and gets beat up most of this movie. How are we supposed to like this hero if he sucks? Also, all the characters are boring. Spoiler alert, you won’t see scorpion until the end of the movie and he is on screen for 5 mins. The music is terrible, and they need a Mortal Kombat fan to shoot the next movie, or just turn it into television television series on HBO max.… Expand

saxdude1Apr 26, 2021

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. tl;dr this is a poorly made film that rides more on the name rather than any actual substance.

The fact that this is the feature directorial and writer debut of Simon McQuoid is not all surprising thanks to how poorly this film is made. First off, the story. Instead of heading directly to the tournament, this film works as a prequel of sorts by focusing on the attempts by Shang Tsung to kill the chosen fighters before the tournament to secure an easy 10th and final win and be allowed to conquer Earthrealm. This isn't necessarily a bad idea, but it's a needless change when all the character "growth" could have still been done in the tournament proper. This change, comes more to add more weight to the death of Hanzo Hasashi (Scorpion) earlier in the film due to some prophecy that a descendant of Hanzo would win the 10th tournament. This descendant is non other than the new protagonist Cole Young.
Cole is one of the biggest problems of the film. The character was clearly made to put more focus on Scorpion and Subzero, due to Cole being from Scorpion's bloodline. While that makes sense as Scorpion and Subzero are the mascots of the series, Cole is a terrible character to do it, as he is poorly written and acted, creating a generic and cliche character that comes off more as an author self insert rather than someone that belongs among the regular cast. This pushes Liu Kang out of his regular protagonist role and relegates him to minor character status. That fate also occurs to most of the other series regulars. Any weight that they have in the games is lost here, as the creator is relying on fans' familiarity with the characters to create emotional investment as opposed to developing them within the film's narrative. This comes back to bite the film as whenever characters are killed, there is no emotion for those with no prior knowledge of the games and characters. Kung Lau is the biggest example of this, as his death has no meaning though it is supposed to be an emotional low point. His connection to Liu Kang is only done through exposition, so it is difficult to really empathize with Kang as his lost. The films bad pacing also plays a part in the lack of emotional investment. The film swings between fights and exposition without time for character, leaving any emotional stakes in the fights nonexistent. The only character that really gets any character development is Cole, except it is trite and cliche, without doing anything that makes it unique. So any emotional stakes in his fight are more contrived.
The fights themselves are not poorly choreographed, but they are poorly shot and edited, with many of them also being poorly lit. This makes the fights difficult to watch and not even delivering on empty spectacle. The only fight that is decent is the final fight between Scorpion and Subzero.
The special effects overly rely on low-quality CGI that looks unfinished, minimizing much of the impact the amount of gore could have. When a body gets cut in half, it comes off as unconvincing as the effect looks fake. The only times the effects look good are when they were done practically, or used Subzero's ice (the only good CGI in the film).
Overall this is an incompetent film that can't even deliver on blind spectacle action like other franchises can due to the ineptitude of the creation. The only reason it is so pervasive in the zeitgeist is due to the mass marketing relying on the name of the brand, being on of the most popular fighting game franchise of all time. While a sequel is undoubtedly on the way, hopefully it is made with people who actually know what they are doing and try to make a decent product first as opposed to a cash grab.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie just isn't good. While it does follow certain elements of the game, it felt like a giant 2 hour long teaser for the actual movie to come (if there is enough money and hype to make the damn thing). The characters are also very bland in terms of emotion (except for Kano) and I found their performance so soulless, I'm surprised Shang Tsung didn't die in the first few minutes. As for the tournam--wait....I've been waiting 2 hours and there's no tournament!? And if there's no tournament, then anything goes, right? So where's Raiden when you need him? Oh yeah, he's too busy talking slowly as if he's trying to hold in his elder god poop.

Overall, if you loved the 1995 version of Mortal Kombat, stick to that. The 2021 version of Mortal Kombat makes MK: Annihilation look more watchable.… Expand

Really big pacing issues, why was Jax even in it? Same for the teeth chick and whoever the 'chosen one' was. Christopher Lambert as Raiden and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shang Tsung in the originals were easily a thousand times better than their counter-parts in the new movie. They should have at least brought a scottish guy back for Raiden or something instead of whoever the pudgy guy they had as him was. Both Lambert and Tagaway knew exactly what type of movie they were in and they hammed it up perfectly. The new Tsung and Raiden are always serious, all the time. It falls flat, like their acting, and just like the movie itself. Oh, and the new Liu Kang or however you spell it was terrible compared to the original actor as well.

The mythology behind the mortal kombat was poorly planned out. It was made to be this "tradition" but the heroes and villains just kept running into each other.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Started out great with the nice Japanese setting and suspenseful atmosphere but then it went downhill from there. The movie introduces a brand new character, Cole Young, as the main character of the movie, big mistake. The Mortal Kombat franchise has plenty of awesome characters they could have used but instead they decided to make up a brand new one who is mostly mute throughout the entire movie and when he does talk it's just generic gibberish. I thought Kano was decent and he mostly carried this movie, it's too bad he's dead now. The Scorpion vs Sub-Zero fight scenes were cool but short. Kung Lao does a cool fatality and dies too soon. Liu Kang does his dragon fatality but makes you wonder why he doesn't just stay in dragon form. Jax does a cool fatality but at the wrong setting, he should have instead uppercutted Reiko into the bottom of the pit like in the first game. The movie tries to explain how these earthrealm fighters got their super powers by coming up with this idea of arcana, that these people chosen by a dragon tatoo can unlock their powers by having something happen to them. Apparently the tatoo can be passed on to the victor if the victor kills someone with a dragon tatoo. Cole somehow has the tatoo because he's a descendant of Scorpion, apparently you can pass the tatoo by having babies. Dumb. There's no need to come up with explanations of how they have their powers, this is Mortal Kombat not the real world, they just have these powers and that's fine. But by coming up with this arcana stuff you end up with dumb decisions like Kano unlocking his arcana by arguing about egg rolls, Cole unlocking his by getting punched by Goro despite the fact that he's been getting punched for many years in his MMA career, Jax getting super robot arms which suddenly evolved from skinny robot arms, Sonja unlocking hers I have no idea how she unlocked hers so quick after getting her tatoo. It's so silly and unnecessary. Some other big disappointments were Raiden and Shang-Tsung. Raiden spends the entire movie claiming he can't interfere but he does at the end. It's funny how he always shows up too late, he's like the opposite of Superman in this movie. The 1995 Raiden was so much better. As for Shang-Tsung the only thing he does is give out some orders, takes away Kung Lao's soul without having to weaken him, and gets banished by Raiden. The 1995 Shang-Tsung had some cool fight scenes and some nice lines, this new one is just lame like this movie.… Expand

An overall poor attempt to create a movie out of a legendary game. Useless characters, pathetic plot. Lots of blood and guts, "Fatalities" but overall boring and not worth the time.

I love the first film and the video game will always have a place in my heart. Try again hollywood… Expand

Doesn’t follow any of the original plotlines. The new character is a good actor but his character is unlikeable. Movie ends on cliff hanger for a sequel I hope never gets made. Kano was the best part.

filme muito ruim, sem cabimento bicho. Estou dando nota 3 apenas pelo design de alguns personagem e pela Sonya que estava linda demais.

Worst movie ever. Horrible acting and the CGI was absolutely brutal to watch. Worst movie this year.

It was fine except for the story. It was really lazy. Which is a shame because they can literally contrive anything.

Nothing to do with the lore, appeals to violence thinking it is all that mk fans want to see, bizarre movie to say the least

It does that thing movies like Sonic do. That thing where they make up their own brand new main character for the franchise who is supposed to represent you, the viewer. I hate when movies do this. They could just have easily made Johnny Cage or Jonya Blade the main character. Its not THE Mortal Kombat movie, it's just a movie about some guy Cole being picked for Mortak Kombat. Seriously **** Cole. Also they mess up quite a few of the Characters, like Kano, Reptile, and others.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot wasn’t complete, was a set up for a second film, extremely rushed, annoying characters, main character was absolutely pointless, the acting left a lot to be desired. The concept of their powers being learnt was just ridiculous and even made me laugh in disbelief when Jax arms become more advance half way through, cobalt was a joke as was Kano who was extremely irritating. Absolutely embarrassing for the franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay where to begin I was lucky enough to watch it with my friends because he had HBO max pro tip don't watch it in theaters. If ACTUALLY play mortal kombat or know any lore throw it out the window because the name of characters is mostly what they stick to. I'll skip the beginning because after I saw the new guy Cole I wanted to stop watching it and so did my friends. After the horrible forcing new lore in you get more Cole a guy that is not a good or decent fighter and his useless family besides his daughters bracelet besides that bracelet nothing matters more on that later. Jax shows up shows birthmark same as Cole useless new lore and I can't keep going it's that bad. I'll just list the bad it's a remake that barely follows the original lore. Characters don't follow the time line and are forced in. Important characters are killed early ruining major events for the future. Cole goes from the worst fighter to killing Goro with ease thanks to a bracelet power up moment freaking Goro! Mileena is there first but not Kitana! Wtf how is Mileena there but not the original how do you put the clone that was made after her appearance and not Kitana? Nothing is mentioned on her lore too.Everyone powers up at the last part and beat the same enemies that destroyed them. Forgot that Kitana is Asian and Mileena is a clone of Kitana so sorry to say it but watch Kitana be in the second part (If the movie doesn't bomb) be played by a Asian actress and leave you thinking why is Mileena you know. The worst part is the absolute destruction of the lore of this series. If you ever played even one you'll know something is wrong at the start. This movie is not for fans of Mortal Kombat that know even a little lore It's for those people that don't know anything about it and even then they'll think really this has stacks of games made with this horrible story? You want a movie to watch? Go watch Demon slayer it was sold out when I went and Mortal Kombat was empty. Seriously want the news say Mortal Kombat was first in the box office...besides Demon Slayer that earned more than they'll make with this horrible movie and it's sequel and what they got paid combined! There's a reason why people love Japanese media it's good and doesn't have woke crap and follows the lore! I'd watch Demon Slayer the whole Saturday all showings than watch this horrible movie for 10 minutes. Don't believe anyone who says they know Mortal Kombat and like the movie that's not a fan it's freaking garbage.… Expand
