Mortal Kombat (2021) Movie • Page 23

Done and done

 

Like it’s a fun movie, that’s all it needed to be. Like it’s not going to be cinematic ambrosia for the intelligentsia, it’s a bunch of people pounding the shit out of each other.

 

Meh, more in terms of a super huge fan like @Anthony_Soprano coming away with a mild overall reaction had me less excited to watch than I was. Plus there's many more posts of lackluster reception throughout the thread since this came out

But, I'm still psyched to check it out regardless

 

Really bummed no one got their spine ripped out

 

The Cole character is the biggest problem, but like others have said, the ceiling for a film like this is not too high.

 

No spine rip. No Shang Tsung morph. No Kano cannonball. No spike pit.

Kung Lao was perfect and I wish he just fought everybody.

 

all I'm hearing from y'all are reasons that the next movie will be better, unless they really, really drop the ball

 

I just got vaccinated can I be in the tournament now?

 

Just finished watching this and gotta say I might've overreacted earlier. Still a fun movie with solid enough character moments and some fight scenes that were more impressive than expected, though there's still plenty of room for improvement. Not bad for something that's intended as a prequel to the main event, so I have a good feeling now about the sequels.

 

As much as I was slightly underwhelmed with this one, I really, really, hope that it does well enough to warrant a sequel or two.

 

Really kinda wish James Wan would’ve been at the helm for this like the OG rumors stated.

 

the box office is already more than its budget was, so that's a good sign

 

In a GLOBAL PANDEMIC no less

 

Do they take HBOMax views into account at all in that figure? I imagine a decent chunk of views came from there.

 

This was pretty bad but also fun as balls haha. Would watch a sequel in a heartbeat.

 

LMFAOOOO

 

This was pretty easily one of the worst things i have ever willingly sat through

 

“Dad use the upper cut”

lmao god this sucked so much

 

Scorpion having to take off his mask to say anything is extremely relatable content in 2021

 

That scene was so frustrating haha.

 

He does it 3 times in the third. I counted.

 

Doing my third watch (and probably last until/if we get a sequel) and the part where Liu Kang puts his hand on Kano’s shoulder and says “there’s much to learn”

the “the fuck” Kano gives him is so god damn funny lmao

 

He was shockingly funny. I expected that to feel a little forced, but the guy nailed it.

Crazy that the first actor who portrayed him essentially created what is now the signature Kano sound and look. Up until the first movie he had no charisma or interest as a character.

 

Finally got a chance to watch this. I’m here for Baraka and some Cyrax in the next one

 

Yeah those two, and Ermac I want in the next one. Kitana seems p obvious too.
