Thanks man! Yea since I had fun with it I went about as high as I could on it haha... but I think there is a lot of potential for the sequel! Thanks for watching and commenting as always man! :D
Definitely think you liked this one more than me! Haha 😝 I will definitely agree with you that you that Mileena was such a bad-ass, wish she hadn't been killed off so quick. I also was so pumped up during the finale, but I feel like it just ended out of nonwhere... right when it was just getting started 😐 Favorite video game movie!?!? What about Detective Pikachu!? 😁 Great review Eric! Really enjoyed this buddy!
Haha I’m glad I’m not alone in wanting more Mileena! Wasn’t sure if I went on about her too long in the review lol 😂! Yea I get what u mean about it ending when it was just getting going I think that could have been solved with a longer runtime since I don’t really think I would cut anything out since I liked the world building this movie gave us for the most part! I actually still haven’t seen Detectuve Pikachu haha is it good? It definitely looked cute so I’ll give it a watch if u recommend it! Thanks again for stopping by the chat! Always so much fun to talk with u and Dan!! 😁
I’m surprised how much you really liked this movie Eric! I for one also enjoyed the movie a bunch and had a such a fun and entertaining time with it as a whole but there were way too many bad concepts and aspects within that took me out a lot throughout. Overall I do agree that it’s not bad and is a pretty decent film! Great review brother!
Thanks man!! Yea I did rewatch it twice since filming this and I might have bumped the score down a bit more tbh if I shot it after my rewatches... I think I’m a bit biased since I’m a fan of the games as well haha... also that opening scene is misleadingly great! 😅🤷🏻♂️
Ahhhhhh I'm just now realizing I watched this when it premiered and never left my comment on it! 🤦♂️ Great review bud! I'm glad there's so much positivity coming through here. I know my review focused on the flaws more than anything else but I definitely enjoyed it and agree with a bunch of your thoughts here. HUGE improvement on the ones from the 90's (not like they had to do much to accomplish that 😅) and I can say I'm on the same page as you that after watching it a few times, I'm not quite as against some of the casting as I was the first time around such as Liu Kang. They just should've made him more of a top dog competitor though. I mean he's LUI KANG for cryin out loud! 🤣🤣🤣 at the #RestoreTheMileenaVerse comment
Haha no worries man!! Yea it’s just a fun time but I will admit does not hold up if you stop and think about it too much haha... I recently rewatched the 1995 one since doing this review and even it’s weirdly growing on me haha... but annihilation I stand by what I said it is one of the worst things ever made! 😆 Thanks for watching and commenting as always bud! 😁
Great review Eric! I’m glad you liked it. I like both 95 and this one as they are both very different in tone. But Annihilation really dropped the ball on the movie franchise and why we had to wait so long for another big screen (well, still small screen for you and I 😀). Death is just one phase was a promising line because we need those characters. Mileena is awesome to use in the games and a great character - she eats people and spits out their bones...much more interesting than Sonya. #restorethemileenaverse 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks man!! I feel like perhaps I need to be in the right mindset to appreciate the 95 one next time I watch it since I didn’t grow up with it I don’t have the nostalgia factor but even critics gave it pretty decent reviews so I’m probably missing something in it LOL 😆 Agreed on Annihilation haha. I sure hope you’re right about mileena! She is my go-to character in the games so I want to see her back in the next one!! I appreciate you embracing my hashtag maybe it’ll catch on!! 😂 #restorethemileenaverse 😅 Thanks for watching! :D
Great review!! I probably liked it about the same as you. It has flaws but I had fun with this movie. The opening was the best part. I thought Cole was the baby at first also haha. I still think I like Detective Pikachu more so that, maybe even Sonic (which was such a surprise), is my favorite video game movie.
Thanks man!! Yea I feel like we’re on the same page with this one for sure haha! I’d definitely be interested to see where they take things in a sequel! Haha Shawn brought up Detective Pikachu as well, I haven’t actually seen it so I can’t speak to whether that one is better or not for me... I have seen Sonic, and I will have to disagree with u on that one haha... I didn’t think it was bad for what it was but at the same time I don’t know if I ever wanna watch it again lol whereas MK I’ve seen twice and I’m already wanting to watch it again haha 🤣! Thanks for watching and being in the live chat! It was awesome to talk with you and Shawn as always man!! 😁
Haha... YES! I agree it's better than the 90's Mortal Kombat movies... Good review! The filmmaking was better on this one... Might have just been the movie I NEEDED to see at the moment, but was good to see a new flick when this came out! #KeepTheMilenaVerse!
Thanks for watching Brian! I’m glad u enjoyed it as much as me I think it was just a lot of fun! I will admit though since doing this review I’ve began to see the charm in the 1995 movie but I stand by what I said about it’s sequel at least, annihilation is truly one of the worst movies ever imo 😅 I hope the sequel is better though still even! Who do you want cast as Johnny Cage? I can’t help but think Ryan Reynolds would be perfect even though I’m sure it won’t happen lol 🤷🏻♂️
@@ericthorpereviews Given how low budget these movies are, I doubt they could get Ryan Reynolds... If they produce the next one in Australia like they did they the first one, I'm guessing they'll go with an Aussie actor, probably under 25 to last through a couple of sequels... Hmm... That's a great question!
Haha yea I don’t really understand the surprisingly decent reviews the first one got... Like I can always understand nostalgia but the fact that critics gave the 95 movie better reviews than this one really baffles me I gotta say haha 🤣
Nice review man. Good to see a positive review of this. Glad ya had some fun with it.
Thanks man! Yea since I had fun with it I went about as high as I could on it haha... but I think there is a lot of potential for the sequel! Thanks for watching and commenting as always man! :D
