Only the opening was good...
But then it's a huge disappointment.
Almost nothing was going as the real storyline of the MK series.

Worst movie of the franchise by far. There is no tournament, the story has nothing to do with Mortal Kombat and a 8 year old kid would have came with a better scenario.

The only reason this gets 2 points is because of the fighting sequence at the beginning, and the sequence with the same characters at the end. Everything else in between is shockingly bad.

Everything else in between is shockingly bad. The people giving it 10 and telling you not to listen to the haters have no idea what quality is.
The writing, (specifically the dialogue and plot lines) are so bad that I could have done better writing the whole movie plot myself in 3 hours. It’s almost as if they made a concerted effort to write the worst story they could.
The acting is some of the worst I’ve seen in the past 2 years, but they can hardly be blamed considering the material they had to work with. The cheesiest, most cringeworthy dialogue imaginable with noticeable plot holes and oversights that would have only required 10 seconds of critical thought to fix. This happens every 5 minutes of the film. I’ll just say that the movie showed a couple signs for potential brilliance, but desperately needed an actual writer and director. This was offensive to me as an MK fan.… Expand

The script is laughable, and the actors involved are doing their best with what they are given. Worst of all, there is no actual final battle. Shang Tsung parades around a la Liz Taylor from AHS, and little else. Halfway through, you just want it to end.

Didn't use the original theme song once (Instant 2 off the score), the actors weren't comparable to the originals, no johnny cage, and the actor who played kano got a back injury afterwards due to him carrying the entire film.

Really bigDidn't use the original theme song once (Instant 2 off the score), the actors weren't comparable to the originals, no johnny cage, and the actor who played kano got a back injury afterwards due to him carrying the entire film.

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.

Sub Zero and Kano stole what little there was of the movie worth stealing.… 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

Mortal Kombat has very few redeeming qualities. It's as if the studio was like "How can we show all the same fatalities in the video game but in a movie. That'll be cool." The story was basically non-existent and partially abandoned halfway through the movie. There was no tournament. There was lackluster combat. 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. I cannot believe how much the people behind this film just totally mismanaged it. Give me $70 million and I cannot do 1000x better.… Expand

To give you an idea of the politics, they replace Johnny Cage in the first movie because they didn't want a white man being "the hero" or the main protagonist. It is nonsensical anyway, as it was Liu Kang that was supposed to be the savior! But they needed the white man to be an evil villain (Kano) instead. 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! Hire actors that fit the story and that act well, no matter the skin color! Stop bending the knee to the "woke" crowd that doesn't watch the movie or play the games anyway!… Expand

I loved sub zero and Scorpion especially the actors but the story was such trash it was like the director could not decide what storyline to go with and went with a dual story plot which seems like a poor choice when it’s obvious they had a low budget. I had to force myself to watch this from beginning to end. Messed up my boy raiden and made him a douche. Also, not a fan of the new cole character. Pointless character really and just forgettable. Fans of the series just stick to the games. Hopefully if there’s a sequel we’ll get a larger budget, better writers and a director who knows what their doing and isn’t focused on SJW politics as well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't expecting Oscar material here, but even for a Mortal Kombat movie the wrtting was terrible. I don't care what the haters say, the first Mortal Kombat movie is to this day one of the best video game adaptations and it mops the floor with this trash when it comes to characters, build up and pay off. This new movie seems like a 12 year old, who doesn't understand pacing or story structure, came up with the script.

First off, I am baffled by the choice of main protagonist. I admit, I haven't played a MK game in the last 15 years or so and I am not familiar with the lore and all the new characters, so at first I thought this is a character from the game's roaster. But no, aparently he is an original character for this movie and I don't get why they went with this boring character. Liu Kang and Kung Lao would have been a much better choice of protagonists and if they wanted an audience-insert they already had Kano(which btw is the only decently written and acted character here). Hell, Kano would have been the only character who could have gotten an actual redemption arc and payoff but at the end the writters thought it would be so much better to revert him to being a villain and get a lame demise. The rest of the characters are also one dimensional and boring and I don't think there is a single one that has any development by the end. Also, the acting is terrible. I didn't expect them to get DiCaprio for a fckn Mortal Kombat movie, but it would have been nice if the acting wouldn't have been bellow direct to DVD standards.

As far as action goes however, it's fine, and I guess that's the most important. It's much more gory than the 1995 movie and the fatalities are actually quite cool, but the action suffers from any type of build up. Bad guys are introduced, they fight the main characters, then they fight a second time and lose. The movie makes a point of not using a tournament format(yeah, who would want that in a fantasy martial arts movie) but it would have actually benefited more for building up tension. And lastly, the music sucks. Say what you want about the 1995 movie, but its soundtrack was boss and even people who don't know of the series at least know of the main theme. They use it here at the end, but other than that the soundtrack is very generic and there's nothing to pump you up for the fights.

At the end, this is probably a bit above Annihilation, but there were some things even that movie did better. Watch it only if you are a huge fan of the series or if you have time and braincells to burn.… 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

The film is very poorly written, the characters have no development and you care little or nothing if they die or not, good or bad, the fights are boring and many do not make sense suddenly the characters appear in places where they shouldThe film is very poorly written, the characters have no development and you care little or nothing if they die or not, good or bad, the fights are boring and many do not make sense suddenly the characters appear in places where they should not Being, Cole's inclusion is pessimistic is beside the point, having so many interesting characters in the lore of the games, they could have taken advantage of them to do something more interesting, the only redeemable thing in the film is the performance of certain characters such as Sonia, Kano, Scorpion and Shangtsung can be seen to have made the role but can't save such a poorly written movie.… Expand

Maybe if I played the games then I would enjoy this a little bit more but it still wouldn't be good.
