This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People who kontinue to say there is no plot line or bad plot do not understand MK lore or the realms and should watch again or maybe stick to Harry Potter. This movie is def. a Part 1 of 2 and this movie sets up the next beautifully. The reviews remind me of when Kill Bill Vol. 1 came out and people killed it and didn’t get the vision til Vol. 2 came out. The movie does well taking the time to set up the Earthrealm characters and how each ends up brutally becoming MK combatants. The development of the new character is well done with dope weapons in the blade and Kali stick. Kano and Kabal are gems in this movie.

The Tournament will obviously be hosted by Shao Kahn in the 2nd movie and Bi-Han will return as Noob. Kung Lau will probably become a revenant like in MKX and Goro will return from the NetherRealm. Raiden might even summon Night Wolf and Katana. The cinematography is top notch and the camera work on the fight scenes is awesome and add realism to a video game movie. They give perfect nods to the game itself in well timed parts and the movie works great comedically and seriously which is though to pull off. The movie is fun and will be rewatched when the 2nd comes out and the reviews will only get better with time.

Genuinely for the fans. Cheesy one liners, fantastic action choreography. And the story works really well! I think the addition of Cole makes sense for what the movie needs to do, and overall I'm looking forward to the trilogy.

While the first film in 1995 was a decent hit; the follow-up in 1997 disappointed fans whoFans of the Mortal Kombat series have known that the path to bringing the violent and controversial game to live-action formats has been a mixed bag. While the first film in 1995 was a decent hit; the follow-up in 1997 disappointed fans who had grown weary of the PG-13 take on the series.

Subsequent efforts such as the 2011 television series also left fans wanting more; especially since the game series had become even more graphic and violent.

An animated film released in 2020 gave fans a taste of what they wanted as it featured graphical violence which many fans believed was essential to properly catch the spirit and action of the series.

The latest offering in the series “Mortal Kombat”; reboots the cinematic universe and gives fans the intense, brutal, and graphic violence that they have demanded. The film keeps the basic premise that the Outworld realm has won nine tournaments in a row, and based on the ancient laws; one more victory would allow them to take control of the Earth.

Raiden the Thunder God (Tadanobu Asano); who has been tasked with protecting Earth looks to assemble and train a band of champions to save Earth. Naturally, this is not going to be easy as Shang Tsung (Chin Han); is not willing to follow the rules of the tournament and dispatches his top fighter (Sub Zero (Joe Taslim) to dispatch the champions of Earth before the tournament in a clear violation of the rules in order to ensure total victory.

What follows is solid and very graphic action which contains gore and brutality on a level that almost kept the film from earning an R-rating. The action sequences are well-choreographed and there were some great recreations of classic moves by characters from the game series which were really well utilized and did not seem like gratuitous pandering.

While the plot is fairly simplistic and does not deviate greatly from the source material; it does give a larger backstory to the universe. It was really enjoyable to see many nods to the franchise throughout both subtle and overt and while some characters were glaringly absent which was a surprise; the characters that were included were really solid to see and the door was wide open for their inclusion at a later date.

While the cast does not contain any star power in terms of what Western audiences might expect from a major studio release; the ensemble works well and do a great job in bringing their characters to life.

The film leaves sequels wide open and teases a character that in my opinion was a glaring omission from the film. That being said; “Mortal Kombat” gives fans a solid adaptation that does not shy away from gore and violence and gives fans the cinematic experience that they have wanted.

3.5 stars out of 5

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well paint me red and call me Clifford, it's a Mortal Kombat movie with serviceable direction and some actual gore. A few nothing-special fight scenes with some fan service in the form of fatalities and special moves (not to mention Kano's mouth) is really all there is to stitch together the slow scenes, the story is pretty been-there-done-that and (spoiler alert? maybe?) the power unlocking bit feels like a tacked-on plot contrivance... But it was fun, and I'm just not inclined to poke that many holes in it considering how far we've now come since Annihilation. Expand

The story doesn't live up to the standards of the newer games, and at times the dialogue is awful. Some characters feel genuinely wasted, and the decision to center the story around a character who isn't even from the games is deeply confusing. The story still has some good ideas, and the action, especially towards the end is pretty good. That being said a lot of the movie feels sort of sloppy. With some scenes feeling completely unnecessary while others end just a little too soon. Not to mention some jarring cuts between scenes. Dialogue ranges from alright to awful. It's fun, especially if you like the games, but there is a lot of room for improvement, hopefully if there's a sequel they'll make those improvements. Expand

Its decent.

It fits the mold of what you would expect. Pretty CGI, extensive martial arts & presumably wire-fu. The basic set piece of the video game.

It makes a weird step to try to seem fresh with some of its character choices. It also sets itself up to likely be a trilogy of films. Question is, why?

Its definitely as good as the original Mortal Kombat was back in the 90s for its time. It has ample easter eggs to hunt for and hits a lot of lore choices along the way. It just really does not serve a lot of purpose that has not already been covered by the original. All that is really getting added is higher budget graphics and updated rosters with a few left for future sequels to "unlock"

Its good, and serves its purpose. Just like the original it will be mostly forgettable for being a video game film adaptation that isnt terrible.
6.75/10 rounded up.

Personally I would of liked a cat and mouse revenge take set in feudal japan than all the cheesy modern day stuff. That would of made the film a whole lot classier for sure. At times this Mortal Kombat felt like Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 7
Acting: 8
Plot: 5

After the disastrous box office bomb and critical flopped of 1997’s Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, there were no Mortal Kombat movies for nearly two decades until the direct-to-video release of 2020’s Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge and this movie. As for this movie, it is a reboot and not connected to the first two movies. Unlike the first two movies and just like Scorpion’s Revenge, the reboot is rated R.

An MMA fighter named Cole Young (Tan) and his family are attack by Bi-Han/Sub-Zero (Taslim) but Special Forces Major Jackson “Jax” Briggs and his partner, Sonya Blade (McNamee), manage to rescue them in time. Jax stay behind while he fight Sub-Zero but he end up losing both his arms. Once Cole got his family to safety, he and Sonya go to her hideout.

At her hideout, he learn that about a deathmatch tournament called Mortal Kombat. The tournament was created to give Earthrealm a chance to defend themselves from Outworld. Now that the latter have won nine out of ten tournaments, they just need to win one more tournament so that they can invade Earthrealm legally.

Cole also learn that he has a dragon marking which means he has been chosen to represent Earthrealm in the upcoming tournament. Cole and Sonya reluctantly recruit an Australian mercenary, Kano, after being attacked by Reptile. Together, they travel to Raiden’s temple where they meet the other fighters, Liu Kang and Kung Lao, in order to be train for the tournament. Meanwhile, a soul-eating sorcerer, Shang Tsung, with the help from his minions have begin killing Earthrealm’s fighters with dragon marking before the next tournament starts.

First of all, I’ve got to say that this reboot is good. It is definitely much better than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Not only it is much better, the movie is faithful to the source material. The movie cashed in on the rated R and the inclusion of the franchise’s iconic signature, Fatality. This is what Mortal Kombat should be. Full of bloody, gore and violence like the video games which the first two movies do not have due to those movies being rated PG-13. The fighting scenes are really well done and much better than the previous movies. It is so well shot that it feels you are watching cutscenes from Mortal Kombat video games.

The characters in the movie resemble the characters from the video game which is another reason why this movie is faithful to the source material. The acting in this movie great especially Joe Taslim and Josh Lawson. For the former, he played the character very well as an intimidating villain like he is the main antagonist of the movie instead of Shang Tsung. As for the latter, he is perfect for the role of Kano, Besides sharing the same nationality, Josh is very much as Australian person you could find in real life. He is also played the role of comic relief really well which I cannot stop laughing. He stole every scenes in the movie. Let’s not forget about Hiroyuki Sanada, who played Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion in the movie. Despite not having much screen time, he played the character very well and he even get to say his iconic catchphrase better than how he said it in the trailer. I hope to see him more and play bigger role in the sequel if there is one.

On the bad side of the movie, I felt the storyline in the movie is rushed. Because of that, some characters do not have much developement including Cole Young. Speaking of Cole, I felt that he was overshadowed by the other characters to the point of being forgettable due to Cole being movie exclusive character. Shang Tsung did not even have much screen time as the main antagonist and the role was pretty much took over by Sub-Zero.

Nevertheless, this movie is still good but neither the best nor worst video game movie. As far as I know, this movie is definitely much better than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation which I have said earlier. Whether you think is movie is better than the 1995 movie or the other way around, is up for debate. If you are a fan of Mortal Kombat, don’t miss this one. I cannot wait for the sequel especially how the ending teases another famous and iconic character from the video game.

Tl;DR - A lot of people touted that the curse of bad video game movies finally ended with Sonic, I didn't fully agree with this. But seeing something just as iconic as the latter makes me believe it a little more, Mortal Kombat movie is notTl;DR - A lot of people touted that the curse of bad video game movies finally ended with Sonic, I didn't fully agree with this. But seeing something just as iconic as the latter makes me believe it a little more, Mortal Kombat movie is not some amazing recreation of the game but a competent argument for the 'Video game movies are now good' side.

The Good
A lot of things were well done, primarily the fight scenes and I believe that the character's personalities are well captured from the overall mythos of Mortal Kombat franchise.

The gore was welcome and so was the competent CGI that was used to create this movie, some uncanny valley stuff pops up here and there but everything pretty much holds up.

The best part of the movie was Kano however, I did not expect to enjoy the smart/foul mouthed Australian stereotype portrayal. I guess casting a true blue Aussie like Josh Lawson paid of well. I was genuinely sad to see him die, hopefully some Shang Tsung sorcery will bring him back for a sequel. Shout out to Sanada for giving a short but great performance as Hanzo/The face of the MK franchise aka Scorpion.

Jessica/Blade, Mechad/Jax, Han/Tsung, Lin/Liu, Huang/Lao and Asano/Raiden all looked like they enjoyed their time on sets and really got the essence of the MK franchise in their interactions.

The Bad
My one hope is that Cole does not come back in the sequel or if he does they give him the Cage treatment from Annihilation and then transfer over the POV of the hero to the actor that plays Cage.
Cole was quite boring just stumbling from one set piece to another except for the end where he faces off vs Goro. I get the need for a audience viewpoint into a new world but do all these slapped on characters in such franchises need to be a wet towel, I'm sure they can do better.

The pacing was a bit off, going briskly from plot point to plot point at a good speed and then just turbocharging into the climax suddenly it was a bit abrupt but manageable.

All in all this was a fun watch just like Sonic, not gonna be watching this again for a while but hopefully there will be a sequel.

The spirit is there and even though the 95 movie will always be my jam this is a good attempt nonetheless that deserves one more chance to get it right.

When my friends invited me to watch a movie with them I did not expect it to be the New MK movie and was less than thrilled. After seeing the movie for the first time I can honestly say that it passed my expectations by an exponential amount. The choreographed fight scenes were exhilarating to watch, the character cameos were on point, and the cheesy one liners were not overused. I enjoyed watching a diverse cast of actors that fit well into their roles with the exception of Cole Young played by Lewis Tan. I didn’t particularly think his acting was on par with his cast members and kept wondering why he was picked for the main role of this movie. He did exceptionally well in the fight scenes but his delivery in the more conversational parts of the movie were lacking. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. Expand

this movie was an absolute joy to watch with so much fan service! The story itself was not as rich as the campaign from the newer games, but this movie was a very enjoyable ride from start to finish. I hope to see many sequels for years to come!

La película esta bastante bien, para ser la primera dirigida por Simón

Recomendable si solo lo veras por las peleas, no es una obra maestra, pero si esta bien

Although many fans were expecting something closer to the original, or had expectations of a certain plot, what the screenwriters did with this movie was a great way to take the key elements of what fans love about Mortal Kombat, and make it their own and unique thing.

They were smart in the fact that they did not throw all their eggs in one basket. As fans know, there are a LOT of characters and lore in the Mortal Kombat universe, and anything more than what was included in this movie would have been overkill. The characters they did include were introduced in a way that goes a little closer to their origins, allowing the opportunity for the evolution of said characters throughout this movie and into (hopefully) the sequels to come. As mentioned, we had fan favorite characters included in this movie, seeing some epic and absolutely brutal fights, giving just enough to satisfy but leaving out just enough to want and anticipate more! Though the plot itself may not be exactly what some fans would expect, what they did do with it was smart and makes sense for the first of a series of movies. Besides the fights, there was a good balance of drama, story, comedy, lore (whether directly or indirectly included), and thrilling moments. For example, the way they started off with Hanzo Hasashi and Bi-Han's story, was enough to get you invested right out of the gate. Those stories and an interesting thread throughout the movie, and into what could be the sequel! This movie was not meant to throw everything we already know at us, but to tell a unique story using elements of what we know, allowing the opportunity to evolve this story throughout multiple movies. All in all, for what it was in and of itself, it did a great job at telling a balanced story with a mix of fan favorite characters, while not overdoing it right out of the gate. I for one hope they do in fact make a sequel, and we get to see where they will take this story next! I loved it and I would highly recommend watching it, but doing so with the intent of enjoying what it is and not what you may necessarily expect, appreciating the unique story they are telling.

The movie is a **** banger it is not what i expected at all but it is amazing. The only things that are kind of dissapointing are the screen time that Nitara and Kung Lao get and the fact that i wanted more blood gore and fatal fatalityes.

Game-based movies have improved quite a bit recently. On the one hand, it is still not a masterpiece. So I'm for? I didn't know whether to look forward to it or not, but I tried the film anyway. The very first 7 minutes, which were already released on the Internet before the movie came out, will draw you into the action. It's like John Wick. Not much is expected and we will immediately get tons of violence, which are delicious, but here and there I found CGI a little worse, but otherwise the action scenes flawless. Immediately, we find ourselves from the world of Mortal Kombat on planet Earth, which caused me to feel bad, because I was afraid that the whole film would be from our world and that we would get the opportunity to look into the world of Mortal Kombat at the end, but I can reassure you that this is not the case. You will enjoy Mortal Kombat world enough here, although most of the film takes place in the same place, where several will take place, but I will no longer deal with spoilers. The main characters have not grown very close to my heart, but they are not bad. In short, it's just not my cup of coffee. Quite a few messages fall to laugh. I would compare it a little to the Rangers of the Galaxy. I repeat a little. I don't mean the characters, but the jokes that come here and there. Well, since I didn't have to have characters here, I was quite afraid of how it would develop. Fortunately, everything turned out well. The action, as I already mentioned supr, and I enjoyed the final battle, where there was also a smaller revelation, which I will not reveal again, but I will only say that it is great and makes sense. In short, I want to say that the end didn't save it, but it definitely helped the film a lot. Overall, a good film for me, which I recommend, but probably only to fans of the game series. Expand

Shang Tsung: Shang tsung is one of the best characters in the game in this movie he was annoying and cringed to watch Mileena : mileena was not needed at all she was useless I felt like they throwed her in the movie for no reason at all
In summary this movie exceeded my expectations and definitely live up to the games it was amazing 9/10 And that’s how you do a video game movie Paul ws Anderson and Mila jovochich

The character is poorly written and trying to interweave his story with established characters from the franchise just doesn't work. I spent much of the movie looking forward to the moments where Lewis Tan isn't speaking. Another issue I had was the tonal shift any time Kabal is on screen. While I highly enjoyed his presence, every time the film would put focus on him it was like watching the movie shift into parody territory and it can feel jarring at times. The fight scenes are where the film shines brightest just as it should be. Aside from Scorpion and Sub-Zero's fights, Liu Kang's fight with Kabal was my favorite. The film is by no means perfect, some of the CGI is janky as hell, especially the close up shots of Goro and Jax's arms. But overall it is pretty good for what it is. Anyone expecting Shakespeare here clearly has never played a MK game in their life. We came for the fights and the gore. The film absolutely delivered there. Grab some popcorn, sit down, turn your brain off, and just enjoy the ride. Expand

The fighting was excellent and the graphics fit the style of the movie perfectly, but the new main character does not fit the narrative when compared to his counterparts. It feels a bit forced and unnatural for the MK Universe.

I will admit, the whole movie seemed a bit rushed. There didn't seem to be much character progression even though the cast fit the characters perfectly, apart from the over theatrical Liu Kang.

But in all honestly, it was great fun to watch and it clearly has huge potential, given they listen to fan-feedback for a possible second movie. Just a little rough around the edges.

If you are an MK fan and haven't seen this yet, why are you reading aI am a lifelong Mortal Kombat fan, so naturally I appreciate all the nuances with the characters, costumes, backstores, plot, etc. that was VERY faithful to the franchise. If you are an MK fan and haven't seen this yet, why are you reading a review? JUST GO SEE THIS! But to all the non-MK fans who are considering this, please understand that overall Critic Review scores are never going to be forgiving to a movie like this..

It has a feverish action-packed pace, and a ton of characters. So naturally, a critic is going to be disappointed that the character development can fall a little behind. But no time is wasted, and every character felt unique and fully-realized, and likeable. There are a couple characters that are laugh-out-loud funny, others that are just flat out cool/swaggy/flashy/fun, some even scary. This is a FUN thrill ride that everyone should give a chance to. This is not some awful Fantastic Four remake, but it also doesn't have the luxury of having every character get their own origin movie, so you have to just jump on the ride and enjoy. If you like imaginative worlds, violent, heart-pumping action, and memorable superpowered characters, this truly does an amazing job of balancing all of this with just enough plot and character development to glue it all together.

Please don't look too much into critic reviews, this just isn't an Oscar-winning drama or artistic marvel, it's an imaginative, rated R, bad a**, stylistic, violent, fun, action thrill ride in the vein of a Snyder's Watchmen, or Dredd, or Deadpool. All Mortal Kombat fans should be watching this 20 times over, and if you like Sci-fi/Fantasy and martial arts and a wide range of imaginative characters duking it out with everything on the line, this may be the beginning of a lifelong journey for you too.

Support this film because Sub-Zero is signed up for 4 more sequels (that's right, 4!) if it does well! Thank you so much to the directors, writers, actors and everyone who was responsible for this film that was so lovingly made with the source material put above all else!

With Mortal Kombat however there was still someNormally, I'm kind of against the whole reboot/franchise revival thing when it comes to movies, because it seems to be happening all the time these days and is frankly just getting annoying. With Mortal Kombat however there was still some ground left to be covered. Namely, the addition of blood and guts in order to be more faithful to the video games. So when I heard the property was going to be resurrected on the big screen with a liberating R-rating I was completely onboard and must say that the added brutality does lead to a lot of exciting fight scenes. Still, I'd be hard-pressed to call this is better than the 1995 original, and that's due to some pacing issues.

Say what you will about the Paul W.S. Anderson film, but the action came front and center there as it should have. Here though, after some exciting fights in the beginning we are treated to a middle section that takes too much time explaining the mythology of the tournament and emphasizes training montages designed to flesh out protagonist Cole Young for the audience, before reaching the final act that somewhat rushes through what should have been the most exciting battles and culminates in an anti-climactic, "wait for the sequel" ending. Bit of a bummer for those of us who just wanted to see nothing more than a bunch of fantastical warriors beat the crap out of and kill each other in gory ways the entire time.

As for Young, the film exclusive original character has been a point of controversy for some time now. Many fans have pointed out how his role in the story could have easily been filled by Johnny Cage who is actually from the source material, and viewed his inclusion as nothing more than another case of Hollywood unnecessarily changing elements from the games. Something that has led to the majority of video game adaptations falling short in the past. Personally, I understand why he was created, as he serves as more relatable proxy to introduce newcomers to the world of Mortal Kombat than a loudmouth movie star who would have spent the whole time hitting on Sonya Blade anyways would have been. Plus, they already had Kano as the comic relief. It doesn't help that Cole is about as interesting as a block of wood though and that Lewis Tan is responsible for most of the worst dialog and acting. If they find a way to not bring him back for the sequel I won't complain.

Writing woes aside though this was still a really good time. It does a respectable job of portraying fan-favorite characters (Mileena is questionable...) to the point I was even a little sad when some of them died. The action is also very fun and suitably grisly. Showing that, while these things still aren't getting the best reviews from professional critics, the video game movie curse has definitely come to an end. At least in terms of providing entertaining experiences that can be enjoyed by wider audiences that is.

7.5/10

Obviously, rated R for lots of reasons. I think they overdid it with the language, but the blood makes sense for the MK franchise.

Hard to review if you're not a fan of the game series. In that case, it's probably just a ridiculous over the top martial arts movie. A few uneven performances on the acting side, but what are you gonna do? Nobody was "bad" so that's a win.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you came into this movie expecting it to win awards, be profound, or to see an American film have fight choreography on levels similar to The Raid... there's nothing "wrong" with that, however I'd recommend re-evaluating your expectations so you can have more fun movie-watching. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Joe Taslim steals the show as Sub-zero. Ludi Lin, Max Huang, and Hiroyuki Sanada are all excellent, especially considering they each had limited screen time. Most other characters are fairly forgettable. Josh Lawson as Kano was about 60/40 hit or miss and could get a bit irritating. I loved all the references to the games. The opening scene is absolutely fantastic. The final fight is a lot of fun as well, but not on the same level as the opening scene. For anyone complaining that "they don't actually fight in a tournament," I think that's a little petty. The final act of the movie is very much tournament style fighting and reminiscent of the source material. Understandably, the minds behind the film understand that they can't just keep making movies about another tournament and another tournament and another. I like the idea of introducing the characters and mythology first, trying to make that film as audience pleasing as possible, so you can come back and do the tournament in a later film. Expand

If you want to watch a film that's fun, take it for a ride. If you are looking for Oscar material, go somewhere else. But on a whole, it was a blast.

My one criticism of the film is it might have been too fast paced for the plot at a few points, and might have worked better with a couple more minutes to breathe in some areas, but it's a really small complaint from me.

I've been waiting this movie. Finally!!! It was a worth of wait. Cant get enough how Joe Taslim as a Bi-Han / Sub-Zero bringing this character perfectly. Im in love with how he can pull this character off and he was amazing in this movie.I've been waiting this movie. Finally!!! It was a worth of wait.

This movie was amazing. Fresh story line with all the best parts of mortal kombat. There’s nothing to not like about it.

Несмотря на некоторые проблемы в этом фильме, у меня язык не повернётся назвать его плохим! Видно, что фильм делали с душой, и старались максимально вложиться в маленький бюджет (35.000.000 $).

Видно, что фильм делали с душой, и старались максимально вложиться в маленький бюджет (35.000.000 $). Мне, как огромному фанату серии, очень зашло! Ставлю 10 баллов, чтобы поднять рейтинг как можно выше. Ибо я знаю, что у этой великой франшизы есть потенциал на просторах кинематографа! Expand

Ok so it wasn’t the greatest movie ever but I expected much less to be often . It’s only the first one so the budget wasn’t as big as it should be . I reckon If it gets a sequel I think it will be amazing !!!! Well done guys I loved it !

The movie is Overall Enjoyable, expectation hype reached . But some of the concepts seems illogical, They may be improved.
