the movie is a dumb fun movie through and through, but this also ends up being one of its major issues. It feels like its 80% action scenes jumping from one to the next.

It feels like its 80% action scenes jumping from one to the next. As much as I enjoy tons of action, some of that could have been cut down to help with the story which was very weak and at times completely nonsensical even for MK standards. When it comes to characters, everybody got decent screen time for their fights though some not as much as others but all of the main characters were extremely underpowered in this movie including those that should be far stronger and the bad guys are practically all jobbers with nothing going for them besides having their names given for context even though they should be more important down the line. Speaking of characters, I actually did like our new protagonist Cole. I feel if he is included in an MK game in the future, he might be appreciated more but as it stands I still wish he was not in the movie and instead was another character that people do know. Overall though, I did enjoy watching the movie and would watch again and definitely want to see a sequel that improves on it. Expand

Yes, the story isnt super great.
Yes, the music could be better.
Yes, Cole is not a great main character.
But I dont really know what people expected from a cringy IP in the first place? A masterwork of art and acting? Please... Its action. Stupid, unrealistic and brainless action!
For todays standards this is a very good brainless flick, that simply entertains through good action, in the likes that you havent seen since the 90s.
Also it has almost no political crap in it, which gives it quite a few plus points. But it doesnt get along completely without it. Mileena is such a thing. She looks nothing like the original character (not even the same ethnicity) and has a body shape that makes her fit better into a Weight Watchers commercial. She also gets dealt with rather effortless. Other than that its really well made and how those fighters got their powers and other abilities/features is also more or less well explained.
I am excited for a sequel!

Setting up for a future cinematic universe with a brand new kharacter, Mortal Kombat delivers a fun atmosphere with plenty of gore, humor and action one should expect from the games. Joe Taslim's Subzero is phenomenal.

A must see for the fans, as the movie remains faithful to many things they hold dear. Though the movie lacks a certain Hollywood polish, the uniqueness of the characters and world should serve as a great starting point to future installments.

Overall good movie, most characters are ok, Kano carried a lot of the movie, they blew it with Raiden, the worst of all by a mile.
Soundtrack and plot pacing could have been a lot better, honestly this movie deserves a 6-7 if you are not that

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mortal Kombat was amazing, I loved it so much. I loved how they didn't skimp on the violence and gore and how they perfectly mixed it with comedic moments also how they used iconic lines and moves from the games. The writing especially the screenplay was superb. The visual effects were remarkable especially Sub-Zero's powers, Liu's powers, Scorpion's Kunai, Milenna's powers, Jax's arms, Syzoth (Reptile), Raiden's powers, Cole's powers, Nitara's wings, Kung's hat, Goro, Sonya's powers, and Kano's powers. The acting was stupendous especially from Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Sisi Stringer, Mehcad Brooks, Lewis Tan, Max Huang, Ludi Lin, Hiroyuki Sanada, Joe Taslim, Tadanobu Asano, and Damon Herriman. The makeup and hairstyling was phenomenal especially on Sisi Stringer, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Mel Jarnson, Max Huang, Jessica McNamee, and Lewis Tan. The costumes were outstanding especially ones wore by Hiroyuki Sanada, Tadanobu Asano, Max Huang, Sisi Stringer, Joe Taslim, Chin Han, Ludi Lin, Lewis Tan, Daniel Nelson, Mel Jarnson, and Josh Lawson. The sets were spectacular. The score was also great. To me this was an A+ movie. Expand

There are two major issues, Mortal Kombat never "officially" occurs and a stupid amount of content is shoved into the last thirty minutes of the movie. It definitely could have been improved, but it happily takes the throne of it's predecessors.

Some of the main characters felt wooden whereas others are god damn amazing and those really good characters do carry a fair amount of the movie for sure. Some fight scenes were amazing and some others were too short and were only just decent or meh. This movie to me felt like it suffered from a lack of time and resources but the vibe and the vision is there. All in all, I would really like to see a sequel and see where they take it, especially with a higher budget and more time Expand

I enjoyed it. But that being said, the movie is extremely shallow in the middle (aka the guts of the film) I think it is a big case of the director trying to do too much in too little of time and it hops around so much that you don’t really get time to develop relationship with any character enough to give a damn. Also, the baddies are clearly what makes this movie good, and they deserve more screen time. Making sub zero so menacing is literally what made this movie any good. And joe taslim deserves a damn subzero mythologies like movie. Also I think they could have went with more horror like themes to make the villains even more terrifying. Kabal looked amazing until he spoke. I think there needed to be another 40 minutes to make you give a damn and develop these characters more if you are gonna try and tell this many stories in one film. That’s where the original movie shines because it was clearly More focused on the main 3 characters. But is worth mentioning that the soundtrack is great with the swooping synth keyboards along with the pounding drums. I also approved of almost all of the cast in their roles, I think I just wanted more depth from the dialogue. Bottom line this is not a great movie, but that’s not to say it isn’t any fun. It’s actually very fun and has a ton of potential for strong follow up sequels.focused. Expand

Today we compare this to the first Mortal Kombat movie (1995) but at the time the first MK was much criticised. I remember that very few of us liked it and only many years later did it become a classic, undergoing a re-evaluation.
This MK will probably meet the same fate and only in a few years time will be really understood and re-evaluated.

I think they did a great job of staying true to the feel of the games with the short, regular fight sequences and including some of the characters signature moves. I think they've done a really good job of the casting too. If you aren't a fan of the games I could understand that you may be critical of the movie as it really plays to an audience who is already familiar with the MK franchise.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was really good along with its visuals, the fight scene was enjoyable to watch but around the last 30 minutes of the movie felt very rushed and I just don't like the fact that the main character has nothing to do with the Mortal Kombat franchise at all. Also, I wish more of the Mortal Kombat cast were in this movie, and for characters that were in the movie, they have a short role in it. Expand

I am really confused what movie all these bad reviews watched. Movie was fun and had the right amount of gore. Who cares about the lore, the story made sense and the acting was great.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Мне понравился фильм. НО! Я не понимаю, почему современный продакшн так наплевательски относится к побору саундреков? Что плохо в МК 2021? Это никакая музыка, т.е. вообще , такое ощущение, что за пару дней написали эти саундтреки на заднем фоне и все на этом. Где мое легендарное интро, от которго я в детстве не в силах оторваться от экрана телевизора? Где легендарная музыка в файтинг сценах? Где блин крутая музыка??? Я велосипед в детстве продал ради касеты Мортал Комбат, чтобы постоянно пересматривать этот фильм и повторять приемы возле зеркала под наикрутейшую музыку из фильма. Посмотрите у всех легендарных фильмов есть свой саундтрек, который узнаешь по первым нотам. Короче за музыку ставлю 0. Expand

But a super high budget fan-film. The second problem I have with this movie is that some characters don't get enough time to establish themselves.
But that's not to say that I didn't enjoy all of it, the production values are really up there, the cinematography looks beautiful, the script is fine, the story lays the foundation in a solid way, the performances are iconic enough to where I can see these characters come to life, and the fight scenes. Needless to say they are AMAZING. The blood and gore was awesome to look at.
In the end, I enjoyed this movie for what it was, and I hope the sequels build on what worked while removing what didn't

Para mi fue una buena adapatacion, llena de fan service, y mucho gore, el problema tal vez es que al ser hecha para tener secuelas la historia se siente solo como introducción y no atrapa realmente, y el nuevo personaje tampoco tiene tanto carisma, sin embargo fuera de eso es una película que disfruté mucho y me emocionó en ciertas partes Expand

Critics are dumb because they don't manage their expectations when watching these types of films. They compare and contrast like pretentious pricks to other award winning films.

Its a martial flick based off a video game....a very entertaining one at that. Surprisingly lots of humor (specifically from Kano). Manage your expectations and enjoy it for what it is. Decent martial arts/action sequences, funny, blood and gore - all checkmarks. CGI so-so, story so-so. Entertaining overall without expecting every actor to be Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour - check! Probably the best movie based on a game for sure.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is definitely a set up movie, for a trilogy maybe? It was made for existing fans of the games and had a ton of references that without the context of knowing the games make no sense but overall it was entertaining and fun. Having Scorpion and Sub-Zero be the focus was smart since they are easily the most popular characters in the franchise, if not the most recognizable. Expand

People keep talking about the plot weaknesses and lack of character development, etc...

What's wrong with everyone!?

Have none of you done your homework?

This movie was to set the stage for a huge franchise. The actors were all signed for FOUR follow-up films at minimum if this was a success.

After 25 years of waiting, can't you all see that five films would provide more than enough time to tell all stories and more?

I've watched this movie six times and I'm currently about 20 min into my seventh. Yes, I enjoy the hell out of this movie.

I think people have become institutionalized by the Marvel Universe. Meaning, the Avengers movies felt so much heavier because all the characters were so developed.

News flash! Many of the characters had their own movie or several!!!

How the hell can you make an entire movie about any MK character without all the others???

Answer that and I'll agree to hear the ****

This movie is great. Mark my words, in time, we will all come to appreciate what has been done here.

I only hope that all the **** reviews haven't ruined our chances at future films.

If you haven't seen this, WATCH IT.

You'll love it.

I honestly didn’t expect it to be “Oscar” level filmmaking, and well...I wasn’t wrong. The film is a **** ton of fun. Anytime action was going on, I was having a blast, but past the first 7 minutes of the film, the story just sort of loses any bit of weight. I couldn’t have cared any less for the main protagonist, who is a new character created just for the movie. The film works best when focusing on characters that we know. Some characters fall more short than others, but again I kind of expected that. Scorpion and Sub-Zero are by far the characters the film-makers took the most time and care with, with Kano and Raiden falling next in line. The rest of cast fall into various levels of suck - but again I had a blast watching it. I have to be honest, though

I personally will be buying the film first chance I get on Blu-ray. So that should tell you something. But I also totally get why this movie is a pure failure for a lot. For me, it’s just so much fun, and I hope they continue to expand this world with more films.
