The actress who played as Mileena will appear in the sequel as Kitana. It makes perfect sense since Mileena was a clone of Kitana. Sub-zero/Bi-Han actor will also reappear as Noob Saibot this time.
The actress who played Melinda may get re-cast due to her on set attitude.
@@morphshag how did u find this out?
@@morphshag I hope that ain’t true. I hate when they recast.. I mean they already messed her up by covering up most of her body 😂, and no COVID mask 😹🤣
@@morphshag her name is "Mileena"
Man I hope were not having a black kitana.
In short, "Mortal Kombat should have been a 14 hour miniseries".
It was in 1999
I agree to that
That would make more sense the real question is why did they even make this movie? If it was like the mandalorian it would have worked but there's so many things going on the movie's over by the time you've introduced most of the characters and still haven't explained everyone's motivations. Also how can Sub-Zero travel to our world when the underworld hasn't won the tournament yet? That doesn't make any sense

@@jonathanperry8331 sub zero is from earth realm
the new Raiden looks like he is fed up with his life, doesn't shave and is depressed.
The actor who plays Sub-Zero signed on for 3 more movies so we might be getting Noob-Saibot
I thought it was a four film Contract he signed either way I hope we get Noob-saibot.
@@mickeyjohno6231 it's four not three
He signed on for 5 in total, so he has 4 more.
I think that’s why he appears out of Smokey black shadows , foreshadowing
4!!
Whats funny is this movie is about the tournament but the tournament isn't going on In the movie. So now we know there's gonna be a sequel
The tournament was when raiden teleported everyone to their fights, he forced the tournament when Shang Tsung was trying to kill his way outside of it
New fighters=sequel=hopefully a tournament.
This movie made me miss the original 😢
@@geoffreygreer8008 my thoughts exactly
@@geoffreygreer8008sequels, sub zero was signed for 5 movies
It's so, so bad, on almost all levels. The writer and director should not do this again. What a waste of money. The CGI is pretty good. Digital blood still doesn't look "real" though. The fights are even bad. :(
The biggest question is how did Scorpion know how to say “GET OVER HERE” in English?
well he has been dead for like 400 years so he probably learned English.
I said the exact same thing in the movies lol.
Rosetta Stone
@@hayksahakoglu4591 or duo lingo
Maybe he learned English in Hell.
They're not dead obviously. The ending was the equivalent of hitting the reset button. Lol
FLAWLESS VICTORY!!😎😎
It’s high likely sure that some of the characters will come back I mean death is not permanent in the mk games. I mean bi-Han comes back as noob saibot and I guess Kano would come back with the metal plate on his face. I mean Quan chi is responsible for bringing some dead characters back as shinnok’s revenants and minions
Hope he's in the sequel. Would be nice to see Quan Chi along with Noob Saibot.
@@Ricksta103 and maybe see Kung Lao come back as a revenant and serves quan chi
The most dumbest thing is death of Kung Lao... Why didnt Shang Tsung catch all of earthrealm fighters with his telekinesis power (like he catch Kung Lao) and suck their souls?
Kung Lao pissed Shang Tsung off AFTER he thru his hat at him (Tsung said you are all beneath me... he is on Raiden's power level), then from what he did to Nitara... So when he came back and interrupted Sub Zero about to kill Cole, that was like the last straw... so he Finished Him!
That was bullshit he was the best fighter there but the first to die
Had to die so that Liu kang becomes the champion
Y’all missed Shinnoks amulet and Katanas blades. I couldn’t have been the only person to notice that.
I noticed as well when kano tries pinching it lol. And her fans was on the wall
@@mickeyjohno6231 not on a wall but on display on a pedestal.
That damn "autocorrect!" 🤭
Katana is a ninja sword. Haha.
Kitanas blades looked dope though 👍🏼👍🏼
@@jadeduh4555 😂
there is a mural not showed on the movie that shows raiden banishing shinnok so he took his amulet
Mileena is a clone she she can just by replaced by Shao Kahn, who will be introduced alongside Kitana, Sindel and Jade, who's story are all related. Lui Kang and Kitana will fall in love. Johny Cage will replace Kano as comedy relief. Sub Zero will also come back too as his brother.
Bi han will come back as noob saibot.
@@dhanesshmahendran9813 yeah I think so
They also plan on making liu kang evil zombie. Hence why he's not the main character
@@BeatzVidz Really? Where does it say that?
@@BeatzVidz 🤔
Main character "Cole" was added to allow MK characters own reveal to the franchise. "Origin storylines." As if it were a new story.
It should also be noted that it was revealed that the original subzero, after being killed in the 1st game became the character noob sibot. This of course opens up another possibility for the characters return.
After he said he signed up for 3-4 more movies it pretty much confirmed he will be noob saibot. When he took off his armor and was in all black I'm sure of it
Kano was amazing. Some of the best lines
Majority of his lined were made up on the spot which is cool.
really love Kano here
@rico yungboy 401 it's fair, he got a ton of screen time so the plot didn't move as fast or other characters didn't get to develop
Goro the champion of the last nine tournaments gets killed by a create a player 🤦🏾♂️
Lol now that....is FUNNY
This movie felt so anti climactic i didn’t even realize those were main fights when they happened, is it too early for a reboot 🤔
Unanswered question: how did an orphan child from Chicago (Cole Young) understand Scorpion when being talked to in Japanese???
Did Raiden grant him the all-tongue?
Yeap, I also had this same question.
He never out right said he understood the language, a lot of it came from body language like "back off imma kill this MF'r" -Scorpion.
That's wtf I was thinking. How did cole just magically get body armor and how tf did he learn Japanese so quick.
Also how did Scorpion make a sentence in English all of a sudden when majority of his dialogue was in Japanese
@@necellynewton well they gotta have him say get over here or come here while he's attacking. It's what he said in the game so that really explains itself.
The biggest thing missing is the Mortal Kombat tournament. I don't know I usually like you know fighting in my fighting movie. The fight sequences play too short and act more like a cameo to the whole story.
I agree they rushed through the fight scenes at the end and their constant stupid jump cuts make it less exciting
I too agree
I think the first movie is just set up for the sequel
Considering the time set is pre-turnament, the true mortal kombat turnament will happen in the sequel
@@randyaldi4944 thats the point
@@randyaldi4944 That would make sense, BUT that's kinda stupid since they cut out some major players before the tournament even started.
No ex-ray moves ?!?!?!?! Dropped the ball there ....but it was still fun af to watch ...almost brought back the nostalgia of the original movie
Gorro was killed way to easy and I can't believe they killed off Kung Lao that fast
Yes!!!! Made me so sad they did that to Kung Lao!!!
I can actually believe they can kill Kung Lao that fast, I get beaten 30 seconds into the game when I play as Kung Lao.
Why did scorpion only understand Japanese the entire film until he said “get over here”
They must have Rosetta stone in hell.
Yeooooo 😭😂😂😂
Netherrealm speaks English. I'd imagine scorpion kinda picked up on a couple words and looked the way get over here sounded
Don't overthink the room 😂 lol
Cause fan service? Lol
Why is it so hard to make a good mortal kombat movie
I don’t know what you expected, the most important part was the fights and the last fight was what we all waited for . I see this movie as the prequel to the tournament. I’m waiting when they bring cage and the other fighters I know since he took the bodies some characters coming back we will get a noob Saibot
Wonder if Bi - Han will become Noob Saibot or just get healed then killed at the end of the actual tournament like the game.. Quan Chi will have to make an appearance, too bad we didn't get to see Quan Chi resurrect scorpion or at the least see more Scorpion in this movie
He will be noob, he indirectly confirmed it in a interview, Joe taslim signed on for 4 movies so there's 3 more movies coming 💪🏿
@@TheSuspectsanders IF its successful but with it splitting fans and getting a meh reception Im praying to god it forces them to reboot and work harder
Or Smoke.
He did open his eyes when shang ported him at the end, so he is not dead yet
Also consider its been a few generations later as Cole is the Grandson of Scorpion. That would make Sub-Zero pretty old, and some kind of before death soul sale. I think he made a deal with Quan-Chi a neatherealm sorcerer prior to dying.
As a MK fan since the days of Sega Genesis, simply providing ok fight choreography & injecting fatalities to excite 12 year olds is not enough. So much of the MK lore was thrown away in this movie.
I’m also an MK fan, but I loved it though
@@yousefkaldany2779 Good for u, my standards are higher.
@@Captain-America92 Good for you lol.
@Amir Hamzah Nur Alyana Natasha It does, with all the source material for MK available now it's no excuse for this film to be so trash.
I love kano sense of humor
Why would Shang tsung after winning 8 tournaments in a row all of a sudden break the rules and try and kill earthrealm champions before the next tournament??
He said in the movie they didn't win 9 straight by winning fair lol
Because if earthrealm wins once they must start again.
Well Joe taslim signed a 4 movie deal. So obviously sub zero will be back
He might be back as Kuai Liang rather than Bi-Han, citing Kuai is Bi-han's twin or something
He’ll probably be back as Noob Saibot, that’s why we see a darkish smoke when he dies.
When he took his armor off he was in all black, kinda hints he'll be back as noob saibot. Since noob saibot is the original subzero
He’ll be Noob Saibot next
I want him to be Noob Saibot. That would be very badass villain.
Why is cole young born with a dragon symbol and his daughter is not?
I wonder how long it took for Outworld to win the 9 previous tournament? Since Jurassic?
900 years
The queen participated in the match
Every 100 years
Hmm, why is Raiden's Temple empty? Maybe losing 9 straight Mortal Kombats could stray followers 😏
So hype we got a good mk movie! My only thing! Damn we needed more scorpion!
I'm waiting on the Snyder cut version of this movie.. 👀
A question I had was if Mileena was teleporting on purpose, cause at times it seemed like someone else was controlling it.
@CommentCop 666 🤣😂
@CommentCop 666 😂😂😂
No one’s ever really dead in Mortal Kombat
Excellent
I wish they would have made this into a show instead of a movie. Either way it was dope but as a show they woulda had more of a chance to build up backstories
true.. i woulda watch this on Netflix...
@@hiphopdagame Netflix are you kidding me
You forget that Quan Chi has the power to resurrect anyone he wishes.
This definitely would’ve worked better as an HBO Max or Netflix show. A lot more time to flesh out the characters and lore, and would have let people like me understand the world better since I never really played the games much
@dennnis2781 tf are you talking about? The movie didn’t do a good job, it was rushed. This movie shouldn’t just have been meant for hardcore fans, it has to be able to introduce new fans to this universe
@@captainbla3k for something as big as MK that has spent years of games, movies and TV Miniseries introducing the same characters over and over again it should be expected that you know who they are by the time this movie came around. Do some research next time before watching a movie based on something as popular as this.
MK director and writers should have developed the characters in their own movie first. Similar to how Marvel did it with Avengers. The movie felt a little rushed, from the MMA fight scene to the Goro fight scene, it felt as if these events all took place in a matter of days in the movie.
they had a very low cost to make the movie so they did not have the money for long fights
You took the words out of my mouth
I came here to see if there was any salvation for the movie but half way thru this movie I found myself wanting to watch the original 1995 version.
True, this movie was not bad but the original is much better.
Raiden looks like he’s been in quarantine and put on some weight. His face was a bit to round and chubby looking to be a threatening god of lightning. The fight scenes cheesy and looked over acted. Especially Liu Kang. He was just weird acting
True about radien. And raiden is supposed to be tall .his just different in this movie
Raiden's eyes though! Hahahaha
What effect are they using, FB? Instagram? Snapchat? etc...
i guess she didn’t hear Raiden say they need to find more champions before the tournament at the end then huh ...
Literally all of those who died in this reboot will show in up in either 2 or 3 as fighters for Netherrealm
only liu kang wont
@@dhanesshmahendran9813 you mean Kung Lao?
Yeah i guess, but Netherrealm can give those Revenants to outword during the time of the Tournament. Not to mention that revenants can be resurrected.
If they stick somewhat with the story of the games, then Netherrealm is after Shinnok's amulet which is in Rayden's temple in the movice (the thing that Kano wanted to steal.)
Anyone who has seen Mortal Kombat Conquest knows that Kung Lao and Shang Tsung are forever linked. That’s why when he had his soul taken it was such a huge loss
just waiting for the sequel iz gonna b epic ❤️❤️
Many characters were absent so they couldn't be killed off as they have parts to play in sequels. Conversely more abstract ones were included to be killed. The tournament never started which was disappointing. There will be returns for some characters whether it be in an altered iteration or not. The film wasn't great but it was a decent start.
It makes perfect sense for Kano to be resurrected in the next movie, either by the Lin Kuei, Shang Tsung or even the Black Dragon. They'll give him a cybernetic face, cybernetic heart and he's good to go. He also stole shinnoks amulet, so that could be good motivation to bring him back.
the ending of your video, I see what you did there 👀
Does anyone know the music in the background @ 4 mins please?
Give us NOOB!!! Also I can't wait to, hopefully if we can get a sequel, see K.L come in and take up the mantle as the new Sub-Zero!!!
A Mortal Kombat mini series on HBOMax would be great. They could dive into a lot more of the lore and have lesser known fighters who don't get a lot of spotlight in them expanding them.
In the movie, Shang tsung specifically states that death is but another doorway.
My question is how did they get within screaming distance between hanzo and his family and not notice him fetching water
Or who was that first person to get killed when they attacked his home
Shirai ryu member
Shang Tsung left another loophole "death is just another portal" so maybe zombies or something lol.
3:43 “...but the movie only shows us 2 dimensions: Earthrealm, Outworld and Netherealm...”
That and I've played all the story modes for all the games. Numerous times. And heaven was never mentioned as a realm. Unless they are calling Edenia "heaven". Which is false
Kano taking shinnoks amulet while liu kang was talking to the champions. Its a Quan chi, Shinnok, and corrupt Raiden reference. They never showed what happened to the amulet😉
It fell on the floor after he told him to put it back on more so he dropped it on the floor if you listen right after he says that you hear the metal hit the floor
Main guy from The Raid should play Kuai Liang as Joe Tasim will be playing Noob Saibot
Hello, can anyone tell me who the woman was that provided Kano with the plane to get the Rayden’s temple????
Raiden looks like gandalf the troll version
Scorpion had the marking but we never see his power
They keep mentioning character deaths but the last thing Shang Tsung mentions is death just being a doorway.
10 tournaments and 9 losses was a reference to the 1995 MK film. Saw deadmeat's kill count, Saw it and then I saw this. Lol
I just want to see Chaosrealm.
I guess Kitana is also reserved for showing up in a second installment together with Shao Khan. They have a lot of history together, so introducing both in the same movie makes a lot of sense.
Also there are several loopholes for bringing dead characters back, like returning them as revenants, bringing Sup-Zero back as a cyborg, creating another Meleena clone and as scorpion did return several times from the Nether Realm in the games, that would also be a possible way. Even time travel was introduced to the games, which would be another (pretty cheap) way of bringing characters back.
Kitanas Blade/Fan was in the scene where Kano steals the Amulet :)
This movie's editing was choppy
Few scenes were cut down
This is happening to all HBO Max Releases
My question:-Why is the studio doing this to their films
Seems they have an "under two hour" mandate...
@@artc1980 which is stupid this movie could've easily been 2 1/2 hours
@@JayRockLA Agreed, felt way too rushed, no character development... WB knows how to screw stuff up...
The beginning was basically the scorpion revenge shot for shot
Here is the biggest question in mortal kombat, why make a new plank of wood protagonist who wears LITTERAL PLOT ARMOR, when theres literally 77 different mainline characters to choose from?.
Well at least you did your homework when making this video. I'm sure a lot of us were waiting to pounce to call out incorrect information.
There was no tournament in the 2021 film. They fought outside of the rules governing the tournament. The way the movie hinted at the next film, I doubt we will see the actual tournament ever taking place. It was a missed opportunity.
The characters and storyline could have better.
Leave room for more in the next ones
Earthrealm invades Outworld
Shao Kahn: (Surprised Pikachu Face)
I felt so cringed out watching this movie
Felt like just watched a half movie. 😁😁
How tf are they gonna have a fight in the pit stage and not do a pit fatality?
Apparently that wasn’t reptile, but another character, I forgot where I saw that. Also, Sub Zero eventually becomes Noob Saibot. The actor who played sub zero (Joe Taslim) is supposedly already contracted to return for the second movie, so there’s a 99% chance who will become Noob Saibot. If you don’t know who Noob Saibot is, he is the original Sub Zero “reborn”
my biggest gripe is Kabal i remember him but not his backstory but he just doesn't look like the comedian type like Kano & Johnny Cage, so it kinda weird looking at him & hearing his lines another thing while he does look authentic to game still doesn't quiet look right look more lke some kinda a full body halloween costume a rubber head
Kabals humor was awesome
Definitely weird. Kabal should have existed also during the invasion of Outworld. Bcoz his first appearance was in Mk3. In MK game. MK1 is all about before tournament just like the movie. Mk2 was the tournament. Mk3 is the invasion of outworld - an all out battle in Earthrralm. You can notice this if u play the game.
He is exactly that type of guy
I enjoyed it....
If u had paid attention to Shang Tsung final lines "death is only another portal" u would know that Subzero, Milena and Goro will be back in the sequel...
they clearly didn’t. also not knowing that sub zero becomes noob saibot and Bi-Hans brother then becomes sub zero because she believed he wouldn’t come back in the sequel. didn’t know how scorpion was brought back, etc.
What happened too the baby Raiden took off with in the beginning
Hopefully we get Cyrax and Sektor in the next film. Would love to see many more characters from the games. Even having Noob Saibot coming in
Tournament will happen. There have been comflicts before the actual Tournament in the recent animated movie too. They bring the champions in the tournament, the Elders are there to oversee the tournament, it will happen.
And all I wanna know is what was hanzo hisashi arcana before he died as he was such a great warrior and why he didn't use it in the start of the movie.
This movie really needed some techno music for the fight scenes.
Is that Long Duck Dong playing Raiden?
She says all this stuff about all the dead warriors not coming back but they can easily be brought back by Quan Chi to revenants. And Sub-Zero as Noob Saibot.
The Black Dragon could still be possible with Erron Black. But that would probably mean that they either would kill him off early or let him switch sides.
The whole movie reeked of bad fan fiction, the newbie takes out Goro solo and is descended from Scorpion?!?
This movie is trash. Try to find the credits for the writer or the director. It lacks in so, so, many ways. The fact people are enjoying this, is an indicator of how far our standards have fallen. This is the garbage we get to look forward to now. Where has the art of storytelling gone?
The gave us obscure bad guys because they didnt want the good guys killing all the awesome bad guys in the 1st film. They obviously plan on making more.
It's the first movie of a game that's a tournament and it wasn't even time for the tournament. So it's unanswered for a reason.
Raiden thats now how lighting works!!!!!!
I wander since, Bi-han (sub zero), will come back in the sequel as noob? Because that's who he is now, they will have to continue to release these movies just like the games, be a there is no actual end..or they will at least have to release enough of the movies for each boss to have an end or to be a protagonist
It takes a lot of episode to make the mortal kombat be more understandable. I was surprise in the movie you need a invitation markings to fight for earth realms plus getting a special powers. I sure wish Sonya blade do that Kiss of death than blasting purple ring on Melina.
The entire movie is an unanswered question...
Kano might be on the next MK movie as well. I kinda like he's character on the movie. Funny as hell. (Hoping) Make sense coz he doesn't have his cyborg eyes. He'll ressurect as cyborg maybe.
w/ kustom in kovering it should be "Biggest Unanswered Kuestions in Mortal Kombat"
Jax and Sonia where the most comic accurate character representations in this movie
Game wise no.....
Joe Taslim also hinted Scott Adkins might be cast as Johnny Cage... which would be perhaps the most appropriate casting of all time. Aside from being British, he's got all the chops, looks and moves to boot. Would be a perfect casting.
That was not Reptile in the movie.... just another member of the species
What happened with Reptiles mark after he died?
Why’d they have to take Kung Lao from us!? He finally looked like he should on the big screen and then ...he wasn’t.
