We didn't think Mortal Kombat 2021 was bad!! - Group Reaction

- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Test your might with The Normies group reaction to the latest Mortal Kombat film adaptation! In my opinion nothing can hold a candle to the original 1995 version. Is the best bad movie made at the time. This movie had a great effort. What did you all think? Maybe we went in with reserved expectations but this delivered on whatever we thought the movie was going to be.
Hiroyuki Sanada and Joe Taslim star (kind of) as Scorpion Hanzo Hasashi and Sub-Zero Bi Haan. Did anyone else see the Noob Saibot foreshadowing done in this movie? Stick around after the reactions to hear our review on Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Jax, and of course everyone's favorite MK fighter: Cole.

I hope to see Sub-Zero back as Noob Saibot 🤞🏾
Joe Taslim, Sub Zero cast, already confirmed that he has signed 4 sequels of MK
I just hope we get to see Kuai Liang.
qu'est-ce que tu fou là toi x)
@@Izumichan22222 j'avoue lol
When he took off his armor in the last fight it kinda hints at it
"He can't text because he doesn't have any arms." Lmfao I said the exact same thing 💀 🤣
no arms, no chocolate
"Siri grow me a pair of arms please"
No floor is safe when the theme starts playing
did it though?
In the games Sonya gets her rings from her high tech gauntlets, Kano has his laser from his metal eye, jax gets the metal arms either just to be stronger (the original games) or because he lost his arms. The whole arcana thing is completely new and honestly I thought I’d hate it but they did it well enough it doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would.
Think about this, they bring back Kano, they can give him his cyber eye and enhancements as a plot device now. It gives him reason to come back and cements him and Sonya as Archenemies!
I felt the same, at first i was like duh fuh but then i think most of them had a good build up that it paid off. My only nitpick was that I wished Sonya had a moment where she discovered hers.
I don’t like the arcana thing, it takes away from the whole element of its whoever is good to do it raiden will seek out. And turns it into a Fate thing
As a Mk fan, I understand why they did it. In the games, we just accept these characters can do those things, no questions asked. This Arcana thing is for general audiences to understand how these people can do these things. I guess it does its job of explaining without getting in the way, so i'm ok with it
Sonya’s was the only one that didn’t pay off properly. It didn’t make sense for her to have the rings even though as fans we obviously are used to it and know why. Wish it could’ve been her kiss of death and have the rings be her gauntlets instead.
Sonya telling Jax to lay down when he was already laying down had me dying
she said that coz he was trying to get up and look around..
@Leland Kamdyn stfu
@Leland Kamdyn you are irrelevant
@@ArjImages Yeah, it's called poor dialogue and it's one of the reasons the movie sucked.
@@gowkie3940 how is it poor dialogue he literally was trying to get up so she tells him to stay down. I swear people will literally nitpick anything.
They didn't want Johnny Cage and Kano in the same movie cuz they're both real high-energy characters fully decided to settle for just Kano since cage had a big part in the original movie
Kano had a huge part in original movie as well tho. Like he drove the plot at the beginning
@@aguynamedtimn950 but you see what he means tho
Well Cage didn't make his appearance in the first mortal kombat game so it makes sense for him to come in the second movie but I get what your saying.
@@jimmyfj ummm, Cage was in the original Mortal Kombat?
For someone who has gaming in their name you don’t play games.
I Loved Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion. He was such a badass.
I thought the movie was very entertaining, like a solid 6 or 7/10. Characters are a bit underdeveloped but, shit, it's a giant cast and MK-11 kinda just throws you into the thick of it, so why not right? The idea of setting up the tournament... I'm sure some people won't like it but I like it a lot. If the tournament happens in the sequel it'll feel earned, and hopefully even more epic. And after playing MK-11 which featured no tournament, I just find the story fun to follow as well.
I also really dig the casting all around... Kabal was great, Kano was unexpectedly the best part of the film for me in terms of entertainment, and Joe Taslim's eyebrow acting put in some leg work here. A few things that didn't work for me... the guy who plays Shang Tsung. This actor is great but all sense of gravitas is thrown out the window because he looks... well he looks ridiculous. The wig looks bad and Cary Tagawa's shoes are pretty hard to fill. I mean there's a reason the man has played Shang Tsung so many times. tbh I feel like if they had kind of taken liberties with Shang Tsung I wouldn't have been mad at that.
And there's a lot of hate for Cole Young, which was unwarranted, just because he's a new character? Like, Mortal Kombat adds new characters every game wtf is the big deal lmao. But his character does have problems for sure! As the character that is the "most developed" he's the most boring. He's supposed to represent us, the average viewer entering this world for the first time, and I think Cole doesn't captivate us when there is already someone else the audience relates to more: Kano. Kano's reactions were a fun balance between being a caricature and having nuance. Kano is making fun of everything because, well, the world is kinda over the top and ridiculous. He's not taking it too seriously, neither are we, so he's just more interesting than Cole. Beyond that? I dig Cole I just think he needs more of a personality beyond "I care about my family".
And Cole basically just didn't interact with anyone and felt literally invisible on screen. He was there but added NOTHING which is the main reason why he gets hate. He could be cool later on but he was not only dry and uninteresting, he also just wasn't even needed at all, anyone could've filled his role tbh.
A big problem with Cole to is his “Power”… it’s literally plot armour (take damage but don’t but deliver said damage back in a lethal way)
Personally… I don’t know why they didn’t just make him the Johnny of the movie. Have him be just your everyday guy coming in with a bit of a background in MMA, he’s got that cocky personality to him and he’s actually able to crack a few jokes.
1. This would heavily make him a more interesting character for people to focus on vs the plank of wood he is in this movie.
2. It would give Sonya Blade someone to work off of. Being that she’s a competent special forces operator, having her explain the idea of MK to our protagonist but also being able to work off his jokes, flirts and jab would make for them able to hit back and forth verbally and give her more personality outside… I’m a spec ops soldier who is very wooden.
3. It would give Kano someone else to work his acting off of. Being able to trade shots verbally with our protagonist would be both charming, funny and lead to a good pay off - think demolition man where Snipes and Stallone both quipped back and forth at each other during fights or in between which helped build up this idea of a past between them but also allowed for pay offs at the end or later in the movie when certain quips where brought back.
Do not be worried my friends
The sequel is on The way and so is the TOURNAMENT😎
4:18 Fun fact : the actor that plays Sub-Zero is neither Chinese nor Japanese. His name is Joe Taslim and he is Indonesian:)
Keturunan Tiongkok juga dia bang
he is Chinese Indonesian to be exact maybe a bit mix... and yeah hes still Tiongkok descent absolutely fit to play Sub-Zero role :)
He's indonesian of chinese descent.
@@tasyamatun2633 sama seperti si pemeran kunglao, ayahnya asli medan, pindah ke jerman,nikah sama keturunan chinese-jerman..
The MK games have two timelines, in the first one who pulls Jax's arms off is Goro, in the second time line who does this is another character, Ermac
actually Jax doesn't lose his arms on the original timeline, the cybernetic arms are an upgrade on top of his arms to fight Outworld's invasion on MK3 and the he sticks with it. Goro only takes Jax's arms on the Scorpion's Revenge movie.
@@Zeek369 True
There are really 3 or 4 different timelines or storylines I mean. Even the games have deviated a lot from the original lore which was actually better lore. But I do think this was the best explanation for how Jax lost his arms because it's more grounded and realistic.
@@Zeek369 FACTS.
@@Refining1 Agreed!
You can just tell that the director and the entire crew had love for the games.. They gave the fans what they wanted and deserved.
Sure the storyline is pedestrian, but i loved this movie. I'll put it up there with the OG MK movie from 95.
Really hope we get a sequel because as you guys know the MK lore is massive.. there is so much potential for an awesome franchise.
I feel like the pacing was so good it felt short and I’m kinda glad there saving the tournament for the next movie
everybody keeps talking about the tournament but the one on one fights kept it like a tournament anyway. There doesn't need to be a tournament.
@@kennethbryant5819 it really doesn’t because that’s what makes mortal kombat
@@slowburn3742 I do that’s Kenneth that doesn’t
Uh, no. The pacing was actually too fast at times.
@@za-ir5ni especially in the 3rd act
If you haven't seen it yet, Joe Taslim (Sub-Zero) does some bada** work in The Night Comes For Us. He can move way quicker without wearing pounds of clothing/armor.
You can see him did 360 kick in Warior movie series
Subzero comes back as noob saibot, when he took off his armor in the last fight kind of looked like an easter egg
Coles power is exactly what he was good at as a regular human fighter in the opening cage fight: get the shit beat out of him by taking tons of hits.
Only now he can turn the ass beating into a net positive.
Sub Zero in this movie is if Jason from Friday the 13th knew an unreasonably large amount of martial arts 😂😂
You've said what I couldn't put into words. Thank you 🥲
11:08 "Is that smoke?"
"No, It's acid!"
Facepalm.
LMFAOOOO
In an interview the actors were asked :"Who should be Johnny Cage?". I think they were talking about Rayn Reynolds. This would be sooooo incredible.
My pick would be The Miz from the WWE
@EYX NA For just fighting it would be a good pick, too. But Johnny Cage isn´t really a fightcharacter. He was always a bad fighter and just had a big mouth (like Kano in this movie here). And for this, Reynolds would be perfect. Adkins is an amazing fighter, but the funpart of Johnny Cage isn´t his thing.
I pick Miz just cause I feel like he's the best one for the role.
I agree with certain people that says Johnny's personality is the main focus of the character so that's why I pick The Miz, Scott is great but he lacks that affable asshole charm from what I've seen of him. Also I'm a pro wrestling fan. I also believe that pro wrestling translates very well to movies.
@EYX NA You don´t understand the statement. The FILMJOHNNY never was a good fighter with a hard moveset. Even the GAMEJOHNNY didn´t have any hard movesets. But the greater thing is. Johnny isn´t a fightcharacter. He is a funcharacter. So noone cares about fightskills for the actor. He has to be funny. Not more not less.
Cole's arcana is literal plot armor 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Talebird K After Eric on Blindwave's watch through said the same thing.
I’ve see you on like 10 RUclips videos today, how sad of a life do you have bro lmao
@@iceman10129 every reaction said this and so did every viewer since its exactly what it was
My question is: why does it matter? It was setup that Cole never defended himself, he always attacked. So it’s smart writing that his arcana would turn that into a kinetic energy based armor that allows him to be more aggressive. I see this comment over and over but it’s not as smart as you think it is.
Joe Taslim in "The Night Comes for Us" is amazing.
There's a lot of different opinions of this movie:
"It's forgettable."
"It's inferior to the first."
"It was alright."
"It's sets the standard for video game movies."
All I know is this:
It Gnomed us. I can respect it, but I still hate it for that.
I was someone who thought it was a great movie, and I'm still sticking to that.
Some plot holes but it was a good watch.
@@blackmantis3130 ya some plot holes and the whole cole character wasn't good. but ya a good watch. replace cole with scorpion or sonya/jax as main chars and it'd be great i think
"We didn't think Mortal Kombat 2021 was bad!!"
also them : *enjoying the movie all the time*
They mean the story. I think they are enjoying the fight
@@davidyehezkiel5744 story is meh, but the real shit is in the sequel hopefully
@@davidyehezkiel5744 The fights were bad too. Weak choreography considering the talents they had and they were too short, with choppy editing.
@@davidyehezkiel5744 I have never played mortal kombat before or seen the other movies so I kindda enjoyed it.
This is a shit movie.
We need 4 hours, Justice League style! Ditto for Street Fighter!
a fan from indonesia here! i've been watching you guys throughout quarantine and very much enjoy all of your reactions! it will be very lovely if you guys watch the raid!! keep up the good work, guys!
The fight and The Fatality are so good in this movie, i give 7/10 for this movie.
The "BI-HAN!!" giving me chills
Yes it does.
Haha loved the ending when they started dancing n shaking the couch😂😂
I liked it. But I wanted a tournament.
It’s a prequel for the next movie
The tournament will be the sequel lol. This was just introducing the whole point of mk.
Why tho? This was literally a setup for the “tournament” and they absolutely nailed it. Or all you want is senseless fighting?
@@cole_world5739 because this movie spent the first act setting up the importance of the tournament. Therefore the third act should have been the tournament. If the sequel is the tournament than the first act of this movie should have set up something else. They never should have mentioned the tournament until the very end in that case
@@cole_world5739 Its Mortal Kombat. Of course I want senseless fighting.
Sonya getting her arcana instantly after she get her marking isn't
unheard of. Liu Kang's story told to Cole says the same thing happened
to him.
Not to mention she was already researching the markings and also watching everyone else train and get theirs
Joe Taslim was also in F&F6 and he has a really good fight scene on that as well.
if you haven't see Joe Taslim in The Raid (2011), The Night Comes For Us (2018), The Swordsman (2020), or Warrior (HBO Max series) his small role in Fast 6 is only a small sample of his talent. taslim felt wasted in Mortal Kombat.
@@mksongbird he is coming back for 4 sequels, ya know!!
@@kavehteimory6413 he's signed on for four films if the studio decides to keep making them, no guarantee. box office for the movie has looked good (in terms of the pandemic) so far but still not a definite greenlight.
@@mksongbird what you talking about . He was the best part of the film.
“He can’t text cuz he doesn’t have arms” 😂
Sonya it's the most underrated caracter in Mortal Kombat
Chris's reaction to Scorpion's entrance was me. I think I screamed!
Remember when Liu Kang was the face of Mortal Kombat and not just a side character lol
this felt like a prequel and i can't wait for more mortal kombat movies because there is so much potential
I know they haven't cast Johnny Cage in a hypothetical sequel, but I saw The Miz posting about how he wanted to play the role and now I can't imagine anybody else playing him.
I mean a Hollywood star + Fighter, Miz is the perfect fit.
The Miz would be a terrible Johnny Cage. He can't act!
Imagine Chris Evans
Jensen Ackles is perfect for Johnny Cage.
@@SeaNAgyEmanG
Yeah, he could do it too.
9:50
Bi Han does become Noob Saibot but he doesn't rip of Jax's arms, Ermac is the one who rips his arms off
I was looking for this comment, because I was about to say that myself. This guy is a Lil rusty on his MK knowledge.
People who think they know MK history haha clowns
@@jimmyfj Did I get the lore wrong?
@@actroskharis1095 nah 😂 you good bruv it's the "youtuber" guy idk his name 😂 sorry not sorry
@@actroskharis1095 nah 😂 you good bruv it's the "youtuber" guy idk his name 😂 sorry not sorry
Y'all need to react to Cinemax's/HBO Max's Warrior! It's based on Bruce Lee's writings, and it has the best choreography ever put on TV, while the acting, writing and score is all impeccable too! You'll love it, and Joe Taslim/Sub-Zero is in it.
Mortal Kombat
1. Do you come here for the plot and/dialog? - no
2. Do you come here for the fighting? - yes
3. Do you come here for the fatalities that caused the video game rating system to be a thing? - YES
4. Were they faithful to the characters and the source material - for the most part YES!
5. Did you see the easter eggs we threw in: Yes - im still cracking up over the leg sweep spamming.
6. Were you entertained? - YES
I call that: Flawless Victory in my book.
I get why they made up Cole. He is the every man. He represents the audience as Johnny Cage kind of was in the early games. People say ‘why not have him be Johnny Cage?’ And I say that would be a disservice to Johnny
I think they also said that having two wisecracking snarkers would be too much(Kano and JC). But he'll be in the next one and I'm all for that.
Actually what i like the most about mortal kombat is the lore but yes thoa other things are.cool too
Imma say it, Mileena had some serious legs in this movie. Really hoping I'll see her in the sequel because that actress had the look down.
Side note, Sub Zero has that Jason Voorhees vibe, any characters that faced him and survived before the end did so by luck.
It wasn't just her legs, girl was thick all around. Booty booty booty rockin everywhere.
Mileena's my girl, and i gotta feel like this was just introductory for her. There's always a way she comes back, and once they introduce Kitana and Shao Kahn, they can't afford to have her as a one off. Plus, she's got a huge enough fan base that'll be crazy pissed if she doesn't come back lol
My guy truer words have never been said. She was Thiccccccc!!!!
@@tekunin5407 you are not wrong, I remember the vitriol during MK11's DLC releases.
The actress had her look down? You ever see Melina??
Imagine if only Gareth Evans (The Raid 1&2) directed the action in the Mortal Kombat sequel.
You guys must watch The Raid movie.
Damn right.
yeah my expectations for the fights were too high, a little more cuts than i like but it was solid
We should sign a petition
His fight scenes in gangs of london are raw too
to answer the question, yes, this is a prequel / prologue. Sub- Zero's actor Joe Taslim signed up for FOUR sequels of Mortal Kombat. Next movie is clearly gonna be the start of the tournament
The Normies couch turned into a mosh pit.
Best reaction ever.
“It’s a birthmark”
“What do you mean?’
“He was born with it “
Delivered in the most serious way possible😂😂
I already knew this wasn’t going to be the best written film but it’s still very entertaining, I liked it
"You're a coward sorcerer" I laughed so hard, that was spot on. 😂😎
The movie was great, But honestly "there is something wrong with this movie"the first 7 minutes is literally the best 7min in the film,but after it all change like WB low budget film,"WB making WB things"
No not really but okay
The millions of cuts during fights killed it so much for me. When Liu Kang does the bicycle on Kabal there is 15 cuts in the span of 14 seconds
This movie was so unexpectedly great! Your guys' old Mortal Kombat movie reaction is what got me to watch this one, lol I was so pleasantly surprised
Not a martial arts movie suggestion, but rather a television series; "Warrior" (Joe Taslim co-stars and the fight scenes are some of the best for a TV series I have ever seen).
Warrior is amazing! I’m glad it just got renewed for a third season.
@@Lost.in.Missouri Yeah I was bummed when I found out it got canceled due to Cinemax deciding to cease making all their original programs but then I heard the fan petition reached the point that HBO picked it up. Hopefully that will mean a bigger budget too. I can't wait til season 3!
26:54 the fan in all of us 😂 glad you guys enjoyed the movie too! Can't wait for the sequels
Let fck ing go 💥💥💥
this movie is suck!
@@zehdudu366 keep that to yourself
@Keith Montgomery trash comment
"They're so faithful to the characters. I love it."
*Reiko enters the chat*
Bi Han is the older brother, aka Noob and Kuai Liang is his younger brother aka the current Sub Zero in MKX and MK11
Bi Han/Noob is the older brother of kuai Liang. Not the other way around
@@tagreene06 yea I got that mixed up by accident
Kuai Liang also appeared earlier in MK games as Tundra 1st
8:00 I'm so glad I'm NOT the only one who thought the little girl was supposed to be his little SISTER! 😂 Her being his daughter & that lady being his wife was random at first, it confused me in that scene lol!
the Raid is cool and all...
but Joe Taslim stars in The Night Comes For Us.... And that shit is WILD
I think that was the first Indonesian Netflix Original. Honestly, those guys could develop the Indonesian scene to be the next generation HK Cinema.
@@zuriyel5368 it's already heading that way
I love all the game references. Especially the spamming leg sweep.
They name dropped the “reptile” as another character but I believe it’s just the name of the race reptile is
that's actually Reptile's real name
ya syzoth is reptiles literal name
No that’s his name lol
@To Release is To Resolve no the realm he comes from is zatara and all of their people are called reptile however only the king uses that name like the black panther title for wakonda king syzoth is that reptiles name when they have another king he will go be reptile and will have another actual name that isnt syzoth
Got it, now I know Reptile is a title rather than the name
The movie is going to be a hit with a projected $25-29 million opening. Which is the 2nd highest opening for a pandemic release after Godzilla vs Kong. On just a $50 million budget.
I really hope so
Wow on a $50m budget that's amazing.
Most of my issues with this film emerge from my nostalgia for the original. If I blank my mind of the past then there is a lot of this that I can enjoy. Really hope to see it get to a tournament arc though.
Exactly, wish other people saw it like that
I see wat ur saying
My issues are from the entire set of games that are out. Nothing to do with a old movie.
same
and if it was a tournament, it might have been too similar anyway to the original
Honestly I thought this was pretty good, I'd even say amazing in comparison to what I expected, but I definitely hope the potential sequel gets a better budget. Literally every "bad thing" about this movie can be solved by increasing the budget and using that to get some more solid martial arts actors and better dialogue writers.
the actors were fine, the editing team and writing team was atrocious and needs to be fired though
"Literally every "bad thing" about this movie can be solved by increasing the budget" yeah if it was only that simple...
@@brifo3394 most certainly. Needs more one shots, better dialogue, and for God's sake make sure they keep casting actors with martial arts experience.
Idk, doesn't take much money to produce a quality screenplay.
In the sequel, we need fight scenes as brutal as RAID or John Wick. Oh . . and of course, more characters. I expect Johnny Cage of course, since they teased it in the last scene.
If they could get stunt coordinators to choreograph the fights like that, it'd be perfection.
Any mk 10 fans cole is takeda think about it 💯💯💯
I swear I screamed ohhhhhh shit when I figured that out ....💯💯💯#MKU
I really hope they would take that twist!! 😩
@Bacon ok u give me your theory how familiar are u with the video games just really think about it it could be their on spin on it
@Bacon ok u said something about the timeline right so why In the movie they show u about Kotal Kahn he is in that same timeline as takeda mk 10 and a lot Also certain characters in the movie didn’t come in mk 3 they came later
@Bacon yes he wasn’t physically in the movie but if u really look at the mural in the background where they are training they show a Easter egg
I like the idea of arcana, mainly because it doesn't effect the plot too much and it explains why people like Sonya can use their abilities in-game with skins that don't have her gauntlets lol
26:53 me and the boys when our favorite song is playing on the radio
Feels like everyone had the same reaction to Liu Kang.
When he appears: looks good, but seems kinda small.
Takes off shirt and flexes: oh my god
14:16 That is a perfect Christopher Lambert impression
I’m torn between Kano vs Kung Lao for best fatalities. I love them both so much.
Also what was that dance on the couch at the end? 😂😂😂
I'm a big Kung Lao fan and I loved that fatality, but they're both so good! These two were great additions to the movie.
Exactly, this film is basically an origin story, some ppl when they watched this were so confused about certain things, I picked up that it was a kinda origin story from the start, certain things, well most of them, made me realise it was that
"Is raiden on the toilet right now". 😂😂😂😂
I enjoyed it for an introduction, I actually wanna see the second movie now
Facts
95 million dollars afforded them those after effects for Raiden's eyes? 🤣🤣🤣
It was actually $50-55 million for the movie (the budget info's been updated online). With that said I'm surprised at the detail of Goro and Reptile's look + physics. But yeah they should've made Raiden's eyes full white like the games, would've looked better.
Chris moving close to the mic and the camera zoom makes my laugh every time 🤣🤣🤣
Chris, Mortal Kombat is nearly 30 years old. Released in 92. Also, most melee weapons from back in the day was farm equipment. The sai came from a tool used to planting seeds. Shuriken came from washers used to fasten house/barn beams. Nunchuks came from a flail used to separate rice seeds from the husks. A sycthe was literally a lawn mower.
Movie was awesome!! There were also able to mix in some great world building and foreshadowing as well.
Y’all should check out Warrior on HBO Max, it’s a Bruce Lee inspired martial arts show that has Joe Taslim in it!
And it takes place in my hometown San Francisco California
Mark 20:23. The winged woman! Okay, thanks for that! I could not tell what was happening in the video from, "Blind Wave". 👍
Great video guys, I watched this without much knowledge of the history and lore of MK and had fun but it was cool seeing you guys pick up on all the easter eggs and nods to the previous iterations.
im so early that refreshing your page doesnt update with this vid lol
This movie was fun, that's all I ask. Hope for a sequel
I'm just glad that my man Kabal got some shine in the film and he definitely deserves to be in the next one. Love playing with him in MK11
I honestly believe this was a great (not perfect) but great start to a franchise. Considering the director was inexperienced and most of the actors were up in comers. I think this will be great to see unfold
the writing and editing really hurt this film. Kano and Sub-zero carry the whole thing.
Eddie Tobias is the combination of both the MK creators, Ed Boon aka Scorpion when saying "Get over here" and John Tobias
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!
I know Micheal Bay had something to do with Jax’s Arm Transformation Scene 😂😂💯
If you haven't seen any of the Ip Man movies I suggest watching those and if you have time do a reaction to them.
Joe taslim (sub-zero) also stars in a FANTASTIC martial arts show on Cinemax called Warrior that you guys should 100% react to.
"The baybay" 🤣🤣🤣 I love that you guys watch Schitt's Creek too
Demon slayer mugen train movie reaction!!!
In ld 240p no thanks , on 4k yes
Somebody please tell Chris about volume control 🤣 he has the loudest speaking voice of anyone ever... How they aren't deaf sitting next to him is beyond me..
Joe Taslim is also in Warrior, an HBO show that makes place in the mids 1800s san Francisco about Asian immigrants being in warring gangs, and the politics around the Irish workers, corrupt politicians, and police. I HIGHLY recommend it if you haven't seen it yet
This is a definite purchase when it's release on DVD & Bluray for me. I've never been a fan of wirework battles as they always look too floaty and superfluous and I'd rather see full screen battle choreography instead of severely edited fight scenes but when someone makes a movie basted on a well-loved and popular subject, getting everything correct about that subject and delivering to its audience is number one and this movie seems to have that in spades (no pun intended given the opening scene). I'll have to watch the original Mortal Kombat movie again see how the two stack up but going from memory, I much prefer what this current movie is doing.
it was surprisingly funny, i thought it was good but we need the tournament
That’s next movie. They were just introducing everyone. Hope this does well enough.
They shouldnt have called it "Mortal Kombat" if there wasnt going to be a Mortal Kombat tournament
It comers off as a cheap cash grab
@@BaithNa And that's where sequels come in. Just admit that you loved it but you're impatient 😂

@@puebloking8280 I can see where your coming from
It had a lot of good stuff, but that makes the bad stuff stand out more. There was a lot of wasted potential. Hopefully they can listen to feedback and fix the issues for the sequel.

@@SuzakuX I agree like the opening scene shows the potential so the bad after that seems really bad. Some seems are insanely mediocre
This movie hits me close to home because it was filmed in my old hometown in the sticks as well as some other places around the city/in the bush in my state in Australia. It's crazy how many films have/are being filmed in South Australia because we feel so disconnected from the rest of the world. The new Thor movie is also being filmed in Australia and we've got some big actors like Idris Elba, Zac Efron etc living here as well. Partly due to the pandemic these films have had to be filmed in Australia because we've handled it pretty well but I hope in the future more films are shot in my country.
The dance at the end.... lol
Disappointed tbh...had high expectations. Maybe that's my fault... As a standalone film it fell flat..if its made into a trilogy then I could see it being better. It's just disappointing cause it wasn't promoted or said in any way(through trailers or anything) that this was essentially gonna be a prequel, so it's just a bit of a bummer to find that out during... Kano stole any scene he was in and carried the movie(but we know what happens with him). Sub Zeros scenes were cool and his effects were insanely well done for CGI. Everything else kind of sucked tho tbh, felt rushed and was incredibly short.
Gorro was absolutely wasted, Reptile was meh, Scorpion was in it for a total of TWO scenes, ok 3 cause he had a .5 sec flash back scene and was hyped as a central character, Cole was bland as fuck(tho I really like the premise of a new character like him having a blood line related to scorpion) and had the lamest weapon reveal, Raiden could have intervened WAY more than hes ever been allowed and they barely used him, them roaming the desert and randomly running into Liu Kang like "oh hey woops there ya are!" was just lazy, Hammer Bro aka General Raikor(?) was one of the worst characters Ive ever seen, Jax's "Arcana" with growing more arms on top of his metal arms made my brain go "wut", the fatalities were lame as shit(minus Kung Lao's, Sonya doing a barrel roll to catch a knife thrown by Cole was laughable.
Sub Zeros scenes were cool and his effects were insanely well done for CGI(his vanishing move into the ice cloud down the alley luring Jax was insanely badass). "Scorpion's Revenge" shits on this movie tho and it's an animated movie. It's what I thought this movie would be more similar towards in terms of story/arcs(since the trailers made it seem like Scorpion would have much more of a presence/role)... HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend checkin that movie out if anyone hasn't seen it, or watch it prior to watching MK 2021. MK 2021 was better than MK Annihilation tho i'll give it that, but that aint sayin much.
Kano carried the whole movie
Kabal was also great
they did my boy kung lao wrong i want my boy with his hub cap hat back lol
I love this movie, but I have to say it's not only weird that they gave Bi-Han the scar instead of Kuai Liang, but it's also weird that they made it a cheek scar when it's canonically always been from the center of his left eyebrow down TO his cheek.
