So my theory is that Shang Tsung was hooking up with Nitara. He calls her beautiful of course. But notice how out of all the fighters, it's Kung Lao he kills? Probably because he was the one who killed his beloved Nitara.
Mortal Kombat 1995 is good for the story, this Mortal Kombat is good for the action and gore .....annihilation is good if you're high on bath salts or mushrooms
Annihilation was great. Cheap and rushed but lots of fun. Very much like a cutscene you'd see in a MK game at the time. If you don't like it you're just mean and like to pick on people slower than you.
This movie would've been a better story if it followed Liu Kang and Kung Lao finding champions and overcoming outworld ambushes and Liu discovering himself as earth's true champion leading up to a tournament
yeah for sure. I know it is similar in some ways to the original but this was just lacking, I don't think Cole was necessary either considering cassie cage and Jaqui Briggs exisit but 🤷🏾♀️
So Cole gets beaten up throughout the movie only to defeat the current 9 time champion of MK Goro who even killed the Great Kung Lao and then after that said Cole can't even beat Mileena only to have Sonya save him. How does that make sense sigh smh
I liked that subtle nod to Noob Saibot when Sub Zero was getting beat by Scorpion & Cole, he removed the blue parts of his costume leaving only the black. I wonder if they’ll add in Kuai Liang’s Sub-Zero in a sequel.
They better..that means scorpion can return too..he might think that sub zero is still alive but finds out its his younger brother and noob saibot can be in the next movie too..i cant wait..
im hardcore in love with the actor who played Scorpion right now omg 😍 Hes so freakin cool!! AND HES 60 YEARS OLD I THOUGHT HE WAS 30!! He does his own fighting!! HE KNOWS HOW TO FIIIGHHTT
@@danieljohnston3065 Has there ever been a Muppet crossover with these characters? I feel like there should be. EDIT: looked it up, and best I can tell the only overlap is some “It’s Not Easy Being Green” jokes about Jade in Mortal Kombat 11.
Yes, I know it's more to their beef than that, but that's mainly what the movie said, that he wanted to end the Hasashi bloodline due to their rivalry and the prophecy of future generations.
That Kano Sonya bathroom scene reminded me of Kill Bill vol. 2. I thought I was going to see someone drowned in the toilet. I hope John Cena isn't Johnny Cage those hands were fairly large.
@@BlackNerdComedy If I was the director of this movie, I would have references from MortalKombat 9, we need klassic characters like Kitana, Baraka, Johnny Cage, Sindel, Shao Kahn, Ermac, Jade, Skarlet, Kenshi, Kintaro, Smoke, Cyrax, Sektor, Quan Chi, Sheeva, Nightwolf, Shinnok and Rain.
I'm glad to know I wasn't alone in liking Kano haha I laughed pretty much every time he was on the screen. "You kidnapped me, tied me up, and threw a knife, my knife, in my leg on purpose. No, I'm not helping you" haha And when he was being insulted and unlocked his power, another funny scene.
Cole being Kuai Liang as twist is a much better premise imo instead of Shirai Ryu descendant who isn't have Scorpion-like powers (hellfire & ninjutsu).

@@senseidolph8056 No, but people train for months before movies. An athlete getting into martial arts training to prepare for a role wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
His wrestling is shit, he does everything not to wrestle, why the hell would I want him in a martial arts movie? Just give us Scott Adkins, he was born for the role.
I thought Cole was a stand-in for Takeda, from MKX. Except now he's actually related to Scorpion, instead of just a student. He definitely has "Kombat Kid" vibes.
I saw this in theaters and when Kano went “Womp womp” to Sonya the sound of the film was so low and subtle I thought it was someone rude in the theater. Later knowing it was actually Kano in the film made me love that character so much more than I already did.
Lmao never thought of it like that, I'm going to have to use that in arguments. But I guess no one I've argued with about the movie hasnt agreed about Cole with me, nobody seems to like him much. The actor was fine he was just written terribly, he was about as interesting as a wet piece of bread. And like I said nothing against the actor.
@@Dreeza68955 I agree I feel like he could have potential like any other mk character I lowkey hope he gets put in the games and has the chance to be one a good character but since he was used as a proxy for the audience he had to be a bit of a blank slate and it sucks
@@yerocnodespdon Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing him in the games or being fleshed out either. But Johnny Cage was always kind of fish out of water guy to me.
Cole's powers make sense considering he's going to be training the fighters for the tournament of course his ability would be to absorb hits, he's going to be a literal punching bag for them
The Miz wants to play Johnny Cage, and I think he would be perfect. He's method acted the character for like 15 years in wrestling, it would be perfect.
This was the review I was waiting for! But I'll admit, as excited as I was for this movie, afterwards I remember tilting my head and going "...huh...i... huh..." There's just stuff that was out of order, or just flat out unnecessary, you know?
WWE superstar The Miz has shown interest in playing Johnny Cage. He is arrogant like him and kinda looks like him. Why not? He's already got the muscle. Perfect choice in my opinion.
At 8:28 where you talk about Kano going "Whah whah!", when the wife and I heard that in the theater, I totally thought some kid behind us made that noise. Later she said, "No, Kano did that." I was like, "Nah!" Then we watched it again on HBO Max, and I was like, "Hell, he did!" Lol! I'm glad he was so enjoyable in this, as Kano has been my favorite character since MK1 in 1992.
I went into the movie with zero knowledge of the games or shows other than someone ripping into the 90s movie(s?) and honestly it was still a fun watch. It was cheese in a good way.
It had a budget of only $55 million and the only other major release until May 28th is the next Saw movie, so I think it will easily make enough money to justify a sequel.
@@dereknight861 This movie has to make at least over 100 million in profits in order to be considered successful enough to greenlight a sequel. Just making back the budget is not enough.

So glad to see these movie reviews coming out again. Always love the positivity and joy you have in these reviews. Glad to have movies finally coming out to see these reviews come back haha. These and the Disney+ Marvel series reviews are absolutely a blast to watch, please keep up these great videos.
I really love this movie. The portrayal of Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, and Kano were perfect. Raiden and Shang Tsung were fine, but not as great as the 1995 ones. Reptile was just awful. The fights were the best part. Hopefully the next one will feature the tournament.
@@powpowbang She had good reason to. She’s a better person than Kano in every way possible (fighting included) and he spent the whole movie nagging and bragging to her about how “worthy” he is to be a champion. I’d be pissed off too lmao. On top of that, her best friend/partner was missing for like 70% of the movie
That Ninja Turtle Reference made me laugh way harder than I should. Probably because I watched the movie so much as a kid that even nearly 30 years later I can quote scenes verbatim. I also felt that the best thing about the movie was a tie between the beginning and Kano. Kung Lao was also really fun for the short time we had him and Liu Kang was at his best when paired with Kung Lao. Everyone else on Earthrealm side were varying degrees of a bit too understated with Cole Young being the worst offender. Raiden reminded me of someone's dad more than an imposing god, but his lines and acting were sharp enough to help move me past that.
I personally love the other mortal kombat movies. Growing up in the 90s/2000s i loved campy fighting movies like jackie chan, jet li, and mortal kombat, it has a special place in my heart. 😁
I hope Andre does review MKL: Scorpions Revenge. IMO it is the second best MK film after the 1995 one. I also want him to review the cinematic abortion that was MK Annihilation lol.
It was kinda of a let down..but i enjoyed it for the most part..it has to have a better plot and more fights..like actual martial arts skills..not this arcana crap..thats what hurt the movie..not too bad but come on..how do you train to fight just to spam special moves?..i want more real fights like blood sport..
What other Mortal Kombat game references did you see in the movie?
Kitana's MK 11 fan was in Raiden's temple.
Jax kills Reiko in The Pit level
There is some theories going around that they might get The Miz to play Johnny Cage
Andre you need to do a review of Mk Ahnilation please!!
Did anyone else find it odd that Scorpion says "Get over here!" in English, despite not speaking a word of English in the rest of the film, including to Cole at the end, who we presume has no idea what he's saying?

These and the Disney+ Marvel series reviews are absolutely a blast to watch, please keep up these great videos.
I really love this movie. The portrayal of Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, and Kano were perfect. Raiden and Shang Tsung were fine, but not as great as the 1995 ones. Reptile was just awful.
The fights were the best part. Hopefully the next one will feature the tournament.
I don't recall anyone calling that lizard monster as reptile.
@@Ziggies-8862 I figured it was the Reptile seen in MK Deception.
@@wstine79 I see what you mean but shang tsung called him the reptilian syzoth. :)
8:03 The suit is called, Plot Armor.
I didn't notice it until you said something but yeah its weird that Sonya gets the tattoo and then immediately has powers in the next scene.
Haven't seen this movie... Does she do the handstand-neck-grab-flip thing?
@@KallieExperiments No. She only shoots the rings.
@@KallieExperiments she did nothing but talk and complain lol
I guess she had so much pent up anger her powers appeared after finally defeating Kano
@@powpowbang She had good reason to. She’s a better person than Kano in every way possible (fighting included) and he spent the whole movie nagging and bragging to her about how “worthy” he is to be a champion. I’d be pissed off too lmao. On top of that, her best friend/partner was missing for like 70% of the movie
That Ninja Turtle Reference made me laugh way harder than I should. Probably because I watched the movie so much as a kid that even nearly 30 years later I can quote scenes verbatim. I also felt that the best thing about the movie was a tie between the beginning and Kano. Kung Lao was also really fun for the short time we had him and Liu Kang was at his best when paired with Kung Lao. Everyone else on Earthrealm side were varying degrees of a bit too understated with Cole Young being the worst offender. Raiden reminded me of someone's dad more than an imposing god, but his lines and acting were sharp enough to help move me past that.
🔥🔥We need to go back in time for MORTAL KOMBAT ANNIHILATION 🔥🔥
Don't you mean...black in time?..cuz he's a black nerd.
Naw Sisi Stringer is TOO FINE
Yes! Andre knows it...I know it...gorgeous!
u forgot the part where scorpions arkana activated and he caught flames and disappeared after he died meaning he was still alive all these centuries.
Scorpion's Revenge does a good job going into what Scorpion was up to after he died.
I personally love the other mortal kombat movies. Growing up in the 90s/2000s i loved campy fighting movies like jackie chan, jet li, and mortal kombat, it has a special place in my heart. 😁
I hope Andre does review MKL: Scorpions Revenge. IMO it is the second best MK film after the 1995 one. I also want him to review the cinematic abortion that was MK Annihilation lol.
Damn that's a good impression of Kano, Nerd
Ha ha, thanks mate!
Mileena was thick, though...
My main gripe with the movie is who the hell is Cole? Why couldn’t it have been Liu Kang? He’s the GOAT.
I personally "liked" this movie it breaks my heart that people are tearing it apart 😢
It was kinda of a let down..but i enjoyed it for the most part..it has to have a better plot and more fights..like actual martial arts skills..not this arcana crap..thats what hurt the movie..not too bad but come on..how do you train to fight just to spam special moves?..i want more real fights like blood sport..
I hate tearing it apart too. but it must be done.
It was pretty good i just feel like they rushed through it to quickly and for some reason i think they could have picked a better raiden
@@Zoom-jm7yfChristopher lambert was so much better.
@@siltstrider6812 well i just mean he didn't have that godly energy he was just a little dull.
Great view, amazing impressions and I appreciate someone else calling out melenna.... bc that shot of the walk through outworld.... dang.
Everyone has a problem with Cole... but I loved his connection to Scorpion. I didn't have any issue with that. Personally, I loved this movie.
"If it's a vampire, u gotta have a blade right?" 😂
I was never a Mortal Kombat fan, never played the game, and I love this movie so much.
"What about me, Gandalf? What's my fortune cookie say?"
I can see Mike "the Miz" Mizanian as Johnny Cage
When subzero took off the armor, it reminded me of noob sabot
Very much so. I feel that was intentional. Because he becomes Noob Saibot after he is killed.
