The pros:
- More characters from the lore
- Great fatality and x-ray like its predecessor
- Finally be able to see more of your beloved characters die
- Raiden consulting with the Elder Gods, and Raiden arriving late.
- Ultra Instinct Shaggy
The Cons:
- Introducing Shinnok and One Being too early when the whole movie should've been focused only on Shao Kahn and the tournament.
- Weak third act.
- Some characters doesn't have enough screen time.
Like, get over here, man!
To make it the first thing I mention in this review so I don't forget about it, yes, that Shaggy cameo in the intro is real, and it's great. I was genuinely really looking forward to this film. It's lately been a very good time to be a Mortal Kombat fan. The predecessor to this film, Scorpion's Revenge, I think is truthfully one of the best video game movies you'd be able to find. It's fun, gory, exactly what you could ever desire from an animated adaptation of this franchise. I was happy to have that film, plus the Paul W.S. Anderson film that isn't great but also a lot of fun, even if the…
There's a genuinely sweet moment between Sonya and Johnny (set to an '80s-sounding synth song, no less), but the real story is the palpable sexual tension between Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
"Get over here—and kiss me, my fool!"
I swear to God you have to be so deep up the ass of Mortal Kombat lore to even vaguely comprehend what's happening in this.
6/10
The kind of thing you watch while convalescing after a lobotomy. Eyes glassily, vacantly scanning the vivid colors, spewing viscera, cracking bones and various tactically brimmed hats. Bigmouth braggart demons, satanic wizards, badass babes and quip-machine bohunk movie stars. Incomprehensible plotting and nonexistent stakes. Everyone is getting their arms ripped off and their ribcages exploded and spitting up puddles worth of blood, yet still squaring up for their next fight in this comically, cosmically nonsensical tournament. This shit is 75 minutes long before credits and 68 of that is violent action and none of it don’t make no fuckin’ sense and I love all of it. I love Mortal Kombat live action movies and cartoons cause I’m a goddamn imbecile who don’t know no better.
But I don’t play the video games. Them shits is for dorks.
Macht da weiter, wo der Vorgänger Scorpions Revenge gestartet ist - inhaltlich, wie qualitativ. Heißt: wieder fehlt eine klare Narrative, viel mehr wirkt weiterhin alles, als wollten die Macher die Handlungsstränge der Teile 3-8 in zwei 70 Minüter pressen. Deshalb gibt’s hier jetzt gleich drei Hauptantagonisten, viel zu viele Plotebenen, zu viele Charaktere für zu wenig Laufzeit, weshalb wichtige Tode mit einem kurzen Schulterzucken weggenickt werden - dann gibt’s aber schon wieder direkt auf die Fresse.
Das aber, soviel muss man den Animationsablegern lassen, machen sie gut. Wo der Realfilm sich vor dem eigentlichen Turnier ja noch gedrückt hatte, gibt’s hier den namentlichen „Mortal Kombat“ in voller Blüte. Das ist wie eh und je die größte Schwäche des Films, weil sich die Macher damit formschön um einen echten Storybogen winden können, aber gut…immerhin bekommt man dieses Mal zumindest das, was auf der Verpackung steht.
I honestly wasn’t expecting anything with this film. The first one was pretty fun but this one just had no soul. The humour was awful, especially from Cage. Even the exaggerated violence couldn't save it for me at all. Give this one a skip.
Ultra instinct Shaggy beats up Scorpion during the first few seconds of the movie. You should watch the movie for that alone.
Liu Kang: "Lord Raiden, why am I the chosen one?"
Lord Raiden: "Because I chose you."
Where's the oscar for best screenplay?
