A good videogame adaptation and a bad movie. As a result, mediocre release.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s fun seeing some iconic moves from the games, but things just go down hill from there. Character design is amazing with certain characters while being completely lackluster with others, I’m looking at you young.... while I know a mortal kombat movie won’t have a solid story considering the games are the same, it still seems like the story was purposely made incoherent and to make as little sense as possible. Talks about the final tournament however everybody just has personal spars to the death instead of actually go to mortal kombat the tournament. Movie had potential but was flopped with every aspect.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a big fan of the game, of its elaborate (and somewhat cheesy) lore and its interesting characters. This movie does a disservice to all. There is some good fighting to watch here, but it’s mostly on the second half tucked away after some pretty tedious introductory act / rocky training montage

I don’t understand the need for this new character Cole. He is supposed to be an audience stand-in, which would be fine and dandy if MK didn’t already have a perfect one since day 1. The name’s Johnny Cage... A chosen one who has no idea what the hell is going on! A character slot is wasted in this Cole guy who brings nothing to the table except for a generic family and personal life we have to pretend to care about. Cole is representative of the problems with this movie: when it sticks to MK lore (like the feud between the Shirai Ryu and the Lin Kuei), it’s great. When it tries to get all Hollywood-y, it completely loses its charm. Unfortunately it spends more time trying to repackage Mortal Kombat for the masses rather than building upon it. The titular tournament isn’t even here! Villains as iconic as Kabal and Mileena are reduced to punching bags with no attempt to build on their own canon (and since when is Kano’s laser a weird spiritual power? He’s half cyborg! For god’s sake). Some recognizable fatalities are there but more often than not deaths feel anti-climactic and cheap. MK is pretty much a franchise served on a platter. By rehashing the first game, presenting the tournament and a few key characters, they could’ve had a simple, satisfying story that focused on the action and still have a ton of cast and plot left for sequels. Instead, they tried this weird prequel experiment to please both fans of the game and the general public and which guarantees no one will leave completely satisfied.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. just want to start off by stating the things I did love about the movie which are, somewhat introducing the rivalry of Sub-Zero and Scorpion though not in detail and having empty dialogue “for the Lin-kuei” or whatever. The fights scenes were great, I loved the fatalities and brutalities that were shown.

BUT THE MAIN CHARACTER WAS TERRIBLE, they should not have made a new Character! If anyone knows who Takeda is from Mortal Kombat, I believe making him a character and taking that route with him would’ve been amazing, and his powers would’ve been amazing, his battle with Gorro which was WAY TOO FAST AND CORNY like that matchup deserved so much better. If they took they Takeda route it would’ve fulfilled it better especially since Takeda trained under Scorpion, so he has resemblance in his moves while also having a few mixed martial arts in the mix to make it his own which would’ve fit this Cole character way better. Cole was basically a mute through the movie and was just someone nobody enjoyed at all which was disappointing because his actor is amazing in other films. Partial additional problems with the film was having a first time writer, should not have risked it with this movie, a movie that could’ve been a 10 out of 10 Legendary Classic if they made better decisions. I don’t like how quick Kung Lao died I feel Kung Lao should’ve fought Gorro if anything, could’ve brought his hat tricks into the mix to use against his arms, etc. the greatest characters were sidelined, didn’t see much of Scorpion. Fight scenes were too short, the ending fight scene was great and then ruined by Cole getting involved. I feel like if you grabbed a fan to write the movie it would’ve been better hell, I could’ve told them to make Cole Takeda and it would’ve made more sense, it’s just so disappointing. I was really excited for this movie and was let down, I’m giving it a 4 because only thing great about this movie was the fight scenes and they were cut short. Characters were flat except Kano, Scorpion, Sub-zero. Casting was great though, iffy about Liu Kang and Shang Tsung… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an old school MK fan, I really want to like this movie. The trailers were impressive and it was hard to believe that it was a low-budget movie. The effects are nice, Reptile's model looks nice too. Goro a bit ackward, expected it to be the same model as in MKX, but this one is a bit leaner/thinner.
The low-budget is seen in the seamless integration of these effects and models into the rest of the world as with any low-budget movie. And it's here where it is a hit or miss. Some parts are done very well, but a lot of stuff is obvious what's real and what's handled with blue/green screen.

With so much promotion on the Sub-Zero and Scorpion story, the movie focusses hardly on them. It seems just to be the sandwhich to hold the meat, where the sandwich is tastier than the meat.
With the abomination that is MK Annihilation and peaking new interest with the 'realistic take' of MK with the concept of MK Legacy (although I didn't like every episode of that one, sometimes it went too realistic), I had my hopes up with this movie. Only to be disappointed. It doesn't even feel like 'a fight for the faith of the world', but just some backyard choreographed fighting. This movie is full of neat references and even the use of exact moves of the game. But it all falls flat in every way possible. The story doesn't make sense nor how some obtain their 'invitation' to fight in MK. I also felt this movie fell into the 'subliminal 2020 politics' trap.

Having Kano bantering a bit wasn't necessarily bad, but seemed to be used too much as a slapstick character to be ridiculed. Which only made it aware Cage was missing. And is trademark eye just appears out of thin air. And what was up with Jax's chicken arms?! It didn't make sense to give him these kind of arms and then have them suddenly transform into bulkier ones, because he found his 'inner-strength'.
This happens with most of the characters. It doesn't happen naturally either, it really is forced and you know exactly when it's going to happen, before it happens. This movie is so predictable!
Kabal is one of my favorite characters (in the game), but why did they have to make him sound like an 1950s Brooklyn gangster?! Cole was an unnecessary character. Shang Tsung isn't even waiting to cheat until he has lost, he just starts cheating immediatly! In the original movie he atleast waited to cheat 'till he noticed he was losing the tournament (although he planned it just in case). And the creepiness Shang Tsung had in the original movie came from the fact that he was actually a likeable and charming guy. There was so much more going on in the original movie then what you thought at first glance, what this new version is lacking.

If you've seen the trailer, seen the Hanzo intro and the Scorpion/Sub-Zero fight, you pretty much saw the best the movie has to offer. They are better off scrapping what they have planned for a next movie, just go back to the drawing board and take a good hard look at what made the original 1995 movie still loved today and what made the concept of MK Legacy peak interest again.

This movie just picked some 'random characters' to do some choreographed fighting, walking from one scene to the next. Punches didn't have that oooomph that the 1995 MK movie did have. It's funny how the 1995 movie, although playing only on an Island (Shang Tsungs Island), made you feel like they were really fighting for the faith of the world, yet this movie with its grand landscape has made it feel tiny.
And I can make a whole list of comparisons from this movie to the original 1995 one. This movie might have great visuals, although understandibly not that seamingless, but it doesn't hold a candle to the original one. The original one really understood what Mortal Kombat was about. It knew when to be serious, it knew when it was allowed to be cheesy and it knew where it needed to be 'for the fans'.
It's funny how when the original movie first came out, I didn't like it so much because it wasn't exactly like the game. Like the same actors, same environments, ... . But then I realised it didn't have to and loved it ever since. Great cast, great soundtrack, great fighting you really felt punches of, ... .

At this point, I just hope they remaster the original movie like they did with the original Star Wars-trilogy. Update the CGI (especially Reptile, that hasn't aged well), maybe use CGI for Goro and if possible, add some discarded footage.

It's a shame these days you have reviews that either give 0's or 10's, so you are actually still left in the dark.
Although I'm an MK fan, I'll probably get downvotes for this and claims that if I didn't like this movie, I'm not an MK fan. But I have been with MK from the beginning and loved that MK has been picking itself up again this last decade, so it's actually quite 'painful' for me that this movie didn't hold my interest, except for a few references.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie left me with very mixed emotions. As a MK fan, it was exciting to see it return to the big screen. However, as a movie lover and scriptwriting enthusiast, there are so many points which left me feeling indifferent. Below are some points on some factors I thought about when watching the movie, followed by what I would have done differently:
- The first seven minutes was released on social media, probably to encourage buys on streaming services. The first seven minutes is arguably the best of the movie.
- The absolute shambles of character building is a sin. - The character of Cole is fine. Not good, not bad. Just fine. It's as if he's there to join all the MK characters up... a new character with stakes. It's as if the script begun with a list of characters to drop throughout the movie, and found having a central character would help stick it all together.
- This brings me to my next point - fan service. This is a great fan service movie - it's very fun and has the violence and gore that MK fans want to see. However, this is at the expense of world building.
- Speaking of world building; Goro and Kano has been killed off in movie 1. I'm sure they don't return from the netherrealm in the games.. so...
- And as for Kano - hands down, the best character and portrayal in the movie. If this was a Kano movie, it would be an 8/10. Funny, a back-story, and Unfortunately, he dies, and part of my interest died with him.
- The dialogue at times is attrocious. The way both Bi-Han and Hanzo appear on screen after the prelude and proclaim "Call me (insert character name)". As if Hanzo went to hell, and thought 'I fancy calling myself Scorpion when I come back'. - I don't think anyone can explain why you need to hit subzero with a gardening tool before Scorpion can teleport from the netherrealm. Or how the timeline of scorpion/sub-zero fits with the other characters. Or why the Lin Kuei have beef with the Shirai Ryu (no mention of Takeda). The movie suggests Bi-Han kills Hanzo and his family because he carried the mark to represent Earthrealm - why not flesh this out? (Plus, the actual story is a long rivalry between clans; there is so much more to this).
- The story discusses the chosen fighters having an 'ikana' (not sure if that is spelt right) - I liked this take only because it helped the movie flow. Although, I'm sure there was a better way to portray why fighters have an unlockable special move(!).

What I would have done:
- Don't start writing a script with a list of characters! Start with a strong story.
- The best story in the movie was Hanzo vs Bi-Han. This should have been the movie. This would have included other characters relevant to the story (Grandmaster, Kuai Liang, Sektor, Cyrax, Smoke, Frost) and Takeda (the founder of the Shirai Ryu who was a Lin Kuei deserter) with other Shirai Ryu.
- This would have also given the opportunity to have non-MK characters be subject to fatalities without killing off important characters so early in the franchise!!
- The opening scene of the film could be fleshed out and made as a final sequence, resulting in a second movie.
- The movie could be set in 1890s Japan following the first Sino-Japanese war (and hence explain the beef between a chinese and japanese clan). This would also be a rough setting for a seventh MK tournament, which would play in nicely towards a modern day 10th MK tournament for the second movie.
- Quan Chi being name dropped as hiring the Lin Kuei during the movie... token post-credits scene with Hanzo meeting Quan Chi in the netherrealm.

All in all, 4/10. Fan-tastic (meaning totally fan service, but without Kano or fatalities, meh).… Expand

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.

This movie was so much better than I expected. Unlike most "real life" movies this is exactly that ..real life fighting, characters were exactly what you would picture the character to look like and behave and speak if they were real.

Don't waste your time. Empty storyline without tourney. Liu Kang and Shang Tsung know about acting courses?

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.… Expand

If you like mortal kombat then it is worth to watch.
I love every minute of this movie, good story and a lot of action, a different story than the other predecessors of mortal kombat

FWIW you'll probably like this. It came out right around the same time and Shang Chi and suffers greatly for it.

It starts out good, but ends in a cheese fest with no stopping.
Awful script and b-grade CGI..

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.

One of the movies you throw on in the background when painting models or playing a card game. You have to shut your brain off for this film or you will be questioning everything about the lore and the MK universe. Nothing is really bad here, just things that don't make much logical sense. The worst part about the film is race swapping Raiden. I could not get over it and sticks out like a sore thumb. Still, at least it's not Rings of Power or Disney Star Wars bad.

The graphics are good. The fatalities and fights are fun and wish some of the fights lasted a bit longer. There's a bunch of nods to the game series; little 'member berries scattered throughout but it's not too egregious. I do like the characters in the film and think they are decently written and the actors did a fine job as well. No one came off as annoying or woke. In fact, I thought some of of the cast were pretty fun. I have a bunch of nit picks about the film which is why I gave it a six out of ten. It just needed more depth and logic to the story and a bit more character development. Don't expect an award winning film here. It falls around the average for me - and considering the little experience the writers and Director had, they could have done a lot worse. At least it's not CBS Star Trek bad.… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the trailer for the movie built up immense hype, the movie itself failed to live up to it. The worst aspect of this movie was the scriptwriting. From cringe lines (that were supposed to be badass) to mistimed lines, or both! The thing that stood out and was enjoyable (at least for me) was the action and violence, mainly the battle between scorpion and sub zero. The plot could have been better. A lot better. But the scriptwriting ruins it all. The idea of adding a human from todays day and age while relating to scorpion through his bloodline was a brilliant idea, but they could have done better than giving Cole bladed tonfas. Don't get me wrong, that idea was really creative, but it would've been cooler seeing a bloodline member of Hanzo dawning the same weapon or a weapon that's similar to the spear.… Expand

The action is great, everything else isn't. Nearly every character is wasted as the movie chooses to ignore the already established lore of the games in exchange for a plot that doesn't hold up once you think about for more than 5 seconds.
