Loved the movie. Writing was about as ****ty as I expected, but man did they capture the feel of the game, particularly with the fatalities. Looking forward to seeing more.

Really enjoyed it. All the call backs to the game were great. Makes me want to go back and watch the original. In my head, the original is better but it's been forever since I watched it.
My only complaint is that I wish they would've done a tournament format like they did in the original. That made it much more intense and entertaining (at least from what I remember) and helped the plot. But I'm guessing the sequel will be a tournament format.
I haven't paid attention to anything "Mortal Kombat" since I was a kid, but remind me, do they still have enough bad guys to make a sequel? Seems like they used everyone up in this film.
For those unaware, Bi-Han becomes Noob Saibot in the game lore after his death.Red Pear Realty said:
They'll bring back some characters they killed for sure. I'd bet money on Sub Zero and Kano.

What do I do with casting rumors and wireless competitors upset that @usnews just named @Mintmobile 2021's best cell phone plan?

It was guaranteed to be a classic five min in with this classic delivery.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Watched it last night as well.
My God. I forgot how awful it is. The cinematography looks amateur. The awful greenscreen. The laughably bad costumes. (Looking at you Sheeva.) The ATROCIOUS acting. The PS1-level animality fight. And that super abrupt ending where it just kind of ends.
Not to mention discount Raiden is freaking terrible.
The 2% RT score seems high to me.

There was a Chun Li movie.
I think you're confused. Smoke wasn't in this one.Quote:

Most realistic part of the movieQuote:
jax spent all his money on his ride
I dont think it was ever stated that Jax lived there, that was Sonya's place right?Tibbers said:Brian Earl Spilner said:I think you're confused. Smoke wasn't in this one.Quote:

Could have fooled me. I missed the part in the game where Sub-Zero could turn into a black mist. And it's clear that sub zero could just drop in at any time to **** **** up in the real world, so why not show up when captain beatdown just got his ass kicked and is in the ring at the MMAmateur fight? Wouldn't that have been one of those golden opportunities? He's in a cage and weak from his latest beatdown. Would have been cool, naw, let's go after him when he's chilling with his fam eating burgers cause you know how much sub zero loves killing wives and kids. Makes no sense man.
Wasn't it cool though how sub zero rained down hail and did no damage to Jax's brand new suv? Hey wait, I thought jax and Sonya were broke and living in a damn junk yard? Oh right, jax spent all his money on his ride..

I don't know if there'll ever be a movie opening cooler than this.
