So movie was pretty decent. Not as good as I thought to be honest. The trailer made it look better, but I had a feeling that would happen. As a whole the movie was just so much different than I thought it would be.

The acting is just meh and some of the dialogue is cringe

The action and the fighting is great! The characters are done really well including their moves and abilities and fatalities.

The movie needed to be longer. Great example of something that should have been like an 6-8 part series cause the entire thing was just super rushed. And you can tell they are setting this up for multiple movies.

But the worst part of the entire thing is Cole Young. Fucking lame and boring and his abilities are wack. They could have come up with something better than what they did. Cause his shit is dumb.

Kano is awesome.

I’ll def watch again. I’d give it like a 6.5


agree with everything here especially the main character

I'd give it like a 7.5 though I enjoyed it

Terrible.

5/10 at best.

Kano, sub zero, and scorpion were the only redeeming qualities this movie had.

A majority of the casting was poor, the acting was barely sub par and the story was shit.

Quite disappointed.

It astounds me how studios keep fucking up video game movies. The stories are already written just so a fucking exact copy and bring it to live action.

Also cole young was a waste, they need to kill him off.

Kano dialogue genuinely saved the movie for me. They need to bring him back.

I agree movie felt rushed. I think they could have done a much better job at setting up the franchise for multiple films with more backstory on the tournament, but I understand why they chose to focus more on some of the fights.

The focus on Cole Young was kind of dumb to me. Idk i genuinely had to look him up because I haven’t played the game in so long and forgot that character. Personally focusing Johnny Cage or Liu Kang would of been a better fit because they got more brand IMO.

Also wasn’t a huge fan of Scorpions fight scene. They could of done better. Goro’s fight also. Like he was a boss in many games having him get owned by Cole Young like he did was underwhelming.

I’ll obviously watch the sequels and this was worth the watch but could of been better.



What do you mean you forgot that character? He was written for the movie, he isn’t in any of the games

That explains it lol, which makes it even more retarded to make him the focal point of the movie.

Read some theories on him maybe being based on some other character and maybe sequels develop that story idk.

watched some of it through clips on youtube, scorpion + subzero fight was awesome.

not sure why they would include a new character to follow the story through when they have so many already lol.

wouldve preferred the youtube miniseries continuity to a movie
