give kano his metal plate and the "iron man" Red arc reactor thing on his chest to keep his heart beating or something. then Kano will be iconic to the max!
- Bi Han can comeback as Noob Saibot - Kano can comeback with the metal plate in the eye Sonya stabbed - Kung Lao can comeback when they defeat Shang Tsung and he get his soul back - Kabal can comeback by simply surviving and having more burns - Mileena can comeback as another clone since in the games there were a lot of mileena clones
The way I feel they'll bring back Mileena (as the real Mileena everyone loves) is they're gonna use this ones soul and put it into a new and better body modeled after Kitana to make her more stronger so the same soul but in a different powerful body
Or even have Shang Tsung work with Quan Chi to resurrect all the fallen warriors and brings Kung Lao back as a Revenant. That'd be interesting to see him and Lui Kang fight each other.
Imagine a HBO max series with Hanzo/scorpion killing demons in the pits of hell learning and slowly going crazy and us seeing his transition from hanzo to scorpion
I took Cole's power as a physical manifestation of his fighting style, in that he deliberately takes hits and doesn't defend himself so he can try to bear down on his opponant. SO I took his power as his body trying to defend itself in the face of actual death.
He is a crap character with a stupid ability..why did they create this character.. this movie was so horrible..Dude just beats Goro like nothing..THE MK champion..who defeated The Great Kung Lao...come on..
This ain’t the comics. He’s just a disposable bad guy In this one . Which is right for him considering he’s not popular and not known for 99% of the viewers
@@Monkforilla totally agree with you! He’s not over exaggerating. He’s speaking truth. Just like with Nitara. She was all in the movie for like 20 seconds before getting split 😂 I see what they were trying to do with using certain characters as “disposable”. Overall the movie was good and a good starting point for the sequel.
7:28 In the movie when Kung Lao teleported in to Liu’s rescue. Liu called him “師兄” (Shi xiong) which was subbed in Englsih as ‘cousin’ The term actually means ‘senior academy fellow/apprentice’. Liu was found as an orphan before he joined the Wu Shi academy and met Kung Lao, who was already a student there and that’s why Liu called him ‘shi xiong’. In Chinese culture,It’s one of the respectful titles that is used when we address or refer to the others who are senior than us.
actually ....... THe reason he has armor that absorbs damage is because in his MMa fights ; he literally only takes hits .. his fight booker even calls him "The human punching bag" thats why he has 1 blocking stick .... cause he takes somany hits in hits fights...... his arkhana is literally a joke about his mma skills XD
Regardless, his power is literally plot armor. It removes all suspense from any of his fights because he's impossible to kill unless you cut his head off. If he was just able to summon tonfas, that would have been way better.
@@RastaganTheGreen every “hero” has some type of “plot armor” I’m so tired of people throwing this phrase around when discussing Cole as if no other protagonist or hero in any other movie doesn’t have some type of “plot armor”..
@@loneshinobi2682 they can at least be subtle about it lol. Rather than give a character who has lost every fight so far in the movie an indestructible suit of armor so he can kill frickin Goro
When Kano dies and Sonyas mark shows up she's like: "Heck yeah im in the game!" also they should introduce Gnometality as an easter egg in the game for Sonya.

In the original timeline Kabal was ambushed by Kano leading a small batch of Shao Kahn’s extermination squads, resulting in his face being horrifically scarred and his windpipe being slit. In the new timeline of the NRS era, Kabal was burned alive by Kintaro during the invasion of Earthrealm.
Yea there was no blue in his outfit which foreshadowed noob saibot but if we get noob we need smoke or cyrax and were all thinkin it im just saying it: we want the timeline heading towards mk 11 because i want to see them fight kronika and we wanna see shao kahn kill kotal kahn
I think Kano's death will make him the Kano we used to know. He was stabbed in the eyes (Making the cybernetic eye) and then the Cybernetic heart as a life-support purpose.
There is a Remix entrance theme song of Nathan Jones in the original SmackDown vs Raw (2004) game but he isn't in the game so I can pick the entrance theme song for Reiko
Two details people are missing in this movie is you can see the Johnny Cage poster at the beginning of the movie and Kano‘s eyes was stabbed out so they could probably put his robot eye in
I made the same mistake trying to prove that this was some reptilian, then I was told that "Syzoth" is the real name of the Reptile. As a fan of MK, I felt like a poser😂😂😥
The origin of Reptile should be of a famous ninja clansman who ends up hunting and killing Predator and then captures the ability to use his cloaking device and so becomes known as Reptile.
What i like: new generation adaption of mortal kombat characters and their interactions with each other What i didn’t like: felt way too rushed and i noticed it from the beginning, but hopefully they can adjust it for the sequel
Why would they even introduce new characters when the MK fans are completely fine with the current cast/roster. They could’ve given us Liu Kang as the main character and i woulda loved it
I think Cole young was necessary. Because without Cole, it's a total repetition of the story we know. With him it's a different storyline but still basing things from the games. That way non-gamers dont just suffer with gamers spoiling everything lol
18:07 "Idk if you guys remember the story, but Cole Young is a failed MMA fighter. He's fighting against a trained assassin." "Of course he's not going to win, he gonna get his butt kicked!" 18:24 "If Cole Young showed up and beat Sub-Zero one-to-one, I would have been concerned." "Come on, guys, of course he's going to lose." 24:54 "We gotta gave the newcomer show some dominance here! So, Cole Young taking out Goro? Okay, sure, sure." Dude goes on about how unbelievable it would have been for Cole to have beaten Sub-Zero, but then is all for Cole slaughtering Goro on a farm no questions asked. Hmm...
is mk the victory of the fight depends on timing, fighting ability, fighting style, and intelligence like kung lao said goro got caught off guard coles armor appear are of nowhere it makes sense if you think about it
Imagine if Timo Tjahjanto would of directed mortal kombat 😳🤯. Watch “the night comes for us” on Netflix if you want to see how mortal kombat fights would look without the restrictions of Warner Bros. Joe taslim stars in it as well. Mortal kombat feels like a pg movie compared to that lol.
23:45 yep unfortunately it was Reptile. Shang Tsung said "Send the reptilian Syzoth" or something like that in the movie. Syzoth is Reptile's real name. In MKX there is a intro dialogue between Reptile and Raiden. Raiden says that name and Reptile says "you know my true name". So it was Reptile and he died. :(
@@jessejames1175 if you ask me his design was bad too. I would like to see him with his ninja outfit like his outfit on MK:Shaolin Monks. That outfit was so good.
I do think that this is going down the Quan Chi path, you can hear faintly when Scorpion is returning to the fires of hell "Hasashi Hanzo, Scorpion..." like a voice is summoning him there, this would likely be Quan Chi.
I actually hope not. Hanzo/Scorpion showed up because his bloodline survived. I think he'd rather burn himself than be forced to fight against his descendant.
Maybe it wasn’t Reptile. In his story, Reptile is the last of his race. In the next film, his race could already be extinct and then we’ll see Reptile in Ninja form. Just a guess....
@@lonreed9743 no. They said it was him. His race is called the Zartaran. I spelled it kinda wrong i think but thats his RACE. His birth name is Syzoth. As in, Hanzo is Scorpions birth name/real name. So if you said Hanzo or Scorpion, its the same person. Shang Stung said,” send the reptilian Syzoth.” The only character in mk called Syzoth is Reptile. Reptile is a Zartaran, but his name is literally Syzoth. The reptilian creature we see in the film is referenced as Syzoth/aka Reptile. Its reptile no doubt. The real question is will they bring reptile back from the dead. But thats a different question from,” was that reptile?” Because it was Reptile,
When Shang says he'll come back with an army might be a way Baraka and the Tarkatan horde get introduced. Be sweet if the Shokan and Centaurs made an appearance also.
I was hoping they'd have Reiko wear the mask at some point and then when he gets defeated it falls to the ground and at the end someone picks it up and puts it on, which would lead to the tease of Shao Kahn being in the sequel
@@48wonder I actually liked it, energy absorption is a power used in fiction all the time. I don't know about his weapons, dialog, weird suit, and his character giving up to go back and put his wife in danger.
@@felixfungle-bung4688 Considering he tapped out in a fight he could win at the beginning of the movie, it was already established that he gives up sometimes. Though, Raiden basically pushed him back to his family.
@@zackrose6261 True that's a detail I overlooked. With that being said I picked up on most of the subtitle details about the character but they could've flushed it out more.
Please don’t make me wait until I’m 30 to see Shao Kahn at the end😭😭 I thought I would see him in the movie but nope. I don’t even think they said his name.
I can feel this review. Probably one of the fairest and balanced reviews I've seen to date. I'm a fan regardless. I mostly enjoyed everyone's interpretation, as I think the goal was for the production company to do well enough to secure a franchise, no big deal... I was captivated by Sub Zero's interpretation, he was basically the MK edition of the Winter Soldier. Pun intended 😁
His devotion to MK is great for the fan base and the game itself but I felt in his review he was way too generous. I get it, he wanted to show love but the writing was bad. Mk is rich in lore, and the movie doesn't capture it. But I'm hoping that sequel brings forth better writers
@@yadielayala I mean, it is all opinionated anyways. I, personally, loved the film for what it was. It had flaws but it was a fun watch which is all I truly ask for from a MK adaptation.
I disagree that Jax is a "token black guy". He's been with the game since 1993 and has earned some respect. I really liked the Reptile. I was concerned when they showed him in the trailer, but he looked really cool in the movie. I enjoyed the movie for what it was, a video game movie. I would love to see Erron Black, Jade, D'Vorah and Fujin in future MK movies.
Here's some castings i think would be cool to see happening for other movie installments Ursula Cobrero as Skarlet Scott Eastwood as Erron Black Joseph Gatt as Baraka Luke Hemsworth as Stryker
Question is will it be the same Nightwolf they showed in the clippings? Or will it be a new person taking up the mantle like they hinted at in his intros and ending for MK11?
Yess But we don't know Nightwolf will appeared in MK 2,MK 3 or Mk 4? We also know Mortal Kombat will make a sequel after Joe Taslim signed His acting for Sub-Zero not 2 not 3 but 4 sequel Wooooooowww!!!!!
Sonya most likely had the training she needed without the marking, so when she got her mark she new what she had to do, and she grew a bond with cole and wanted to save him
I can confirm that Reptile indeed was in the movie. Shang Tsung called on the reptilian, Syzoth. Syzoth is Reptiles real name. His minutes on screen were awesome and I loved his look.
@@loneshinobi2682 when I saw him in the trailer is was already 100% down with it. I think they did reptile justice after his appearance in the 95 movie and annihilation
@@codyd13 I liked his reveal in the movie and it gave me chills and I can detect a sense of fear with that because this is a more powerful version of reptile since the older movies.
@@F0NZ13 absolutely. He looked, moved and fought exactly as I would expect from Reptile. Especially the invisibility aspect. The bit with the flare to make him “visible” was really clever
But I mean could it be that cryomancers in the movie don't age, so if that's the case they could still make kuai liang his brother and not his descendant
@@aldojaramillo1390 it can be but my theory was that maybe shang tsung granted bi han that he can die only if he is killed. In games he also granted erron black that thing so the theory i am stating is possible.
@@user-ux7ks7ec8l yup i know that from games. I just thought that they must be having a different take for cinema. If joe confirmed maybe they will follow the games itself.
they should get johnny cage for the sequel. many people were sad he wasnt in this one. trying to think of an actor who would be a good fit for the role. someone who can do jokes & dark humor like ryan reynolds in deadpool.
Kabal has been treated amazingly well, considering all the characters featured and the few lines he was given. The voice actor was amazing too. Subzero, Kung Lao and Sonya were extremely accurate imo. Last but not the least, the decision to threw Reiko and Nitara on the movie was a great call for me. I played the 3D era games too so I definitely enjoyed that. They can always bring them back, nobody really dies on the MK universe.
If I can try and get one point across as to why I'm positive even tho the movie was subpar. It's that if we support this movie it opens the door to other MK projects and they can take the criticism and make the perfect MK movie for part 2. I mean we didn't even get the torny yet so there is hugeeee hope!
In the sequel, I can see having Cole Young becoming good friends with Johnny Cage and they have a Buddy Cop relationship. Might make people like Cole a little better.
The movie is the reason how I got into MK. My mom used to play MK when she was young, one of the first three games. She found the movie on NOW TV and decided to watch it. I didn’t have interest but at the same time I stayed in the same room with her and when we finished it, I loved it and started playing MK11. I watch some MK storyline summary here just to at least know what’s going on with the story. I understand some, but I kinda need to know characters that aren’t in or are just cameos in MK11 and maybe watch some story mode gameplay from previous games
My guess on Kung Lao coming back is, they figure out a way to extract his soul from Shang Tsung. That way they can setup that Shaolin Monks movie without it having to be a prequel.
My guess is we might be introduced to Kenshi and Ermac in the next movie. I'm thinking that Ermac would be like his old timeline counterpart, having defected to Earthrealm's side after fighting Kenshi and the two have journeyed together since then. Ermac could use his powers to free Kung Lao's soul from Shang Tsung.
That is the line Shang Tsung said to Raiden after Subzero died. Shang said "Today you killed my warriors and you think you have won. But death is only another portal." Why would Kabal have said that at any time throughout the movie, he was burned not killed.
You know it would be amazing, that Joe Taslim Interpreted Kuei Lian claiming to be the twin brother or could be the direct descendant of Bi Han having the scar, but without any doubt, Sub Zero as much as Bi Han or Kuei Lian has to be played by Joe Taslim without any doubt, greetings from Argentina !!!!!
If Jax had tiny Rex metal arms and got a upgrade, Sonya easily could have a weak arm gun, some kind of shooting machine attached to her arms, so when she shows up to shot Mileena, the gun would shoot the stronger energy as a surprise. It's THAT easy.. How they can screw up things like that?
Talk to em bro. He should of but instead we get cole 😑 n I almost guarantee Johnny might be the main since they hyping up a big actor for that role(which they shouldn’t) since it’s once again sideline Liu Kang
@@ogsloppnbiscuiitz1108 it’s a movie. Y’all want the storyline? Go play the games again. You ain’t gonna find 12-15 games packed into 1. 2 hour film. Period. Don’t know what y’all expected doesn’t take place in the game universe so stop crying about it..

That's a weak explanation of why the realms fight each other. They could've done better job going way back back at the beginning of the tattoo, origins of Raiden/Shang Sung, what is out world how and why they want earth realm... . It feels they want to explain the movie for non fans but leave stuff that only fans can understand....
@@xzgun100 yes it is weak explanation but I think that's what the Warner bros and nether realm wants. It's like if you like the movie ( non fans of MK) and if you want to know the stories behind these characters then you have to play the game. In the end I think it's their marketing strategy.
@@Krishnakujur78 yeah I understand but it was poorly executed as a cinematographic point of view. It was too casual not enough depth. It felt more like an episode of a serie than a movie. I thought it was a fine movie. It was just missing some umph here and there to make it epic.
I loved everything and everyone. Sonya was my fav to my own surprise. Kano was great as well. Like I said I loved everything and everyone. Phenomenal. Edit: One small detail I liked was how after Shang Tsung gushes about Nitara's beuty you can see Mileena glaring at her, most likely out of jealousy. Fitting imo.
Idk, I just want a 'Fire & Ice' spin-off movie. Opening scene was awesome. Sub-Zero and Scorpion together on-screen.... Pure gold. I need that movie with Hiroyuki Sanada and Joe Taslim.
My two biggest complaints with this movie were the pacing and some of the editing. Since it was a short movie they weren’t able to focus on certain things as much as I would of liked. What I mean by the editing was that the cuts to different characters and scenes felt sorta messing and uneven, the cgi was great. Other than that I think the movie is good.
What you said about having Goro killing Lao would have definitely resolved the issue of Kung Lao being off’d so easily and generating a feeling of Goro being powerful.
I have my fair share of criticisms, but the positives outweigh the negatives. I give the film a solid 7/10. Personally, I think the movie acts as a good foundation and a series on HBO Max would be the best route to flesh the characters out.

- Kabal can comeback by simply surviving and having more burns
- Mileena can comeback as another clone since in the games there were a lot of mileena clones

I personally think Cole is actually pretty cool, but this comment was funny so I had to leave a like.
It was reptile because they referred him by his real name Syzoth
I made the same mistake trying to prove that this was some reptilian, then I was told that "Syzoth" is the real name of the Reptile. As a fan of MK, I felt like a poser😂😂😥
The origin of Reptile should be of a famous ninja clansman who ends up hunting and killing Predator and then captures the ability to use his cloaking device and so becomes known as Reptile.
@@predictonmisson2772 lol but since predator was a dlc I don’t think he’s canon to the universe (are you talking about that predator?)
@@vincentcordi very true but yes I was talking about that one in the game that came dlc
The problem I had with Shang Tsung is that he didn't show any facial expressions.
Yea in the original he did a lot of stuff plus his outfit was fuckin awesome and im glad it got added in mk 11
What i like: new generation adaption of mortal kombat characters and their interactions with each other
What i didn’t like: felt way too rushed and i noticed it from the beginning, but hopefully they can adjust it for the sequel
I wished they would’ve waited until next move to kill off Kung Lao
It's ok like Kung lao died in the game too. He will probably get resurrected
@@niccolai_o3680 yeah I’m hoping because I was kinda hoping for his mk9 death
Or a spinoff movie where Liu Kang journey to save Kung Lao from Netherrealm.
Nah killing him now means we'll see more of him in the future.
yeah that didnt quite fit well with me they shoulve done it in the next movie
The problem was Cole Young. If he wasn't in it you would had plenty of time to flesh out the legacy characters.
Honestly yeah. I liked Cole Young, but so many other characters could've gotten the stagelight.
Why would they even introduce new characters when the MK fans are completely fine with the current cast/roster. They could’ve given us Liu Kang as the main character and i woulda loved it
I think Cole young was necessary. Because without Cole, it's a total repetition of the story we know. With him it's a different storyline but still basing things from the games. That way non-gamers dont just suffer with gamers spoiling everything lol
18:07 "Idk if you guys remember the story, but Cole Young is a failed MMA fighter. He's fighting against a trained assassin." "Of course he's not going to win, he gonna get his butt kicked!"
18:24 "If Cole Young showed up and beat Sub-Zero one-to-one, I would have been concerned." "Come on, guys, of course he's going to lose."
24:54 "We gotta gave the newcomer show some dominance here! So, Cole Young taking out Goro? Okay, sure, sure."
Dude goes on about how unbelievable it would have been for Cole to have beaten Sub-Zero, but then is all for Cole slaughtering Goro on a farm no questions asked. Hmm...
is mk the victory of the fight depends on timing, fighting ability, fighting style, and intelligence like kung lao said goro got caught off guard coles armor appear are of nowhere it makes sense if you think about it
Imagine if Timo Tjahjanto would of directed mortal kombat 😳🤯. Watch “the night comes for us” on Netflix if you want to see how mortal kombat fights would look without the restrictions of Warner Bros. Joe taslim stars in it as well. Mortal kombat feels like a pg movie compared to that lol.
23:45 yep unfortunately it was Reptile. Shang Tsung said "Send the reptilian Syzoth" or something like that in the movie. Syzoth is Reptile's real name. In MKX there is a intro dialogue between Reptile and Raiden. Raiden says that name and Reptile says "you know my true name". So it was Reptile and he died. :(
Ok reptile was so nerfed in this movie i really wanted more of him but hopefully we get baraka in the sequel's
@@jessejames1175 if you ask me his design was bad too. I would like to see him with his ninja outfit like his outfit on MK:Shaolin Monks. That outfit was so good.
Reptile could be a ninja if his soul was retrieved and transferred to a random dead ninja tho
I do think that this is going down the Quan Chi path, you can hear faintly when Scorpion is returning to the fires of hell "Hasashi Hanzo, Scorpion..." like a voice is summoning him there, this would likely be Quan Chi.
I also believe that it could be revenants with quan chi cause shang stung took his dead soldiers bodies and said he would come back with armies
or it could be Havok 🤷🏻♀️
@@rayhayden3632 Havik is from Chaos Realm not the Netherrealm
@@czyBoyJay would love to see revenants and quan chi! quan chi is my fav villain in mk!
I actually hope not. Hanzo/Scorpion showed up because his bloodline survived. I think he'd rather burn himself than be forced to fight against his descendant.
Shang Tsung said ,”send the reptilian Syzoth.” Which is his original name. So it was reptile. Your welcome
Maybe we will get Chameleon in the second film
Nooo
Maybe it wasn’t Reptile. In his story, Reptile is the last of his race. In the next film, his race could already be extinct and then we’ll see Reptile in Ninja form. Just a guess....
@@lonreed9743 no. They said it was him. His race is called the Zartaran. I spelled it kinda wrong i think but thats his RACE. His birth name is Syzoth. As in, Hanzo is Scorpions birth name/real name. So if you said Hanzo or Scorpion, its the same person. Shang Stung said,” send the reptilian Syzoth.” The only character in mk called Syzoth is Reptile. Reptile is a Zartaran, but his name is literally Syzoth. The reptilian creature we see in the film is referenced as Syzoth/aka Reptile. Its reptile no doubt. The real question is will they bring reptile back from the dead. But thats a different question from,” was that reptile?” Because it was Reptile,
It was his race . Not reptile tho
One thing I noticed the second time was Liu Kang said he unlocked his Arcana instantly as well after killing the guy with the orphans.
Sub-Zero needs his own flim!!!
When Shang says he'll come back with an army might be a way Baraka and the Tarkatan horde get introduced. Be sweet if the Shokan and Centaurs made an appearance also.
Make it $100M box office and we definitely get all of em! 😀
I was hoping they'd have Reiko wear the mask at some point and then when he gets defeated it falls to the ground and at the end someone picks it up and puts it on, which would lead to the tease of Shao Kahn being in the sequel
He was my guy in MK4 ☺
Everyone got super powers and Cole got literal plot armour for no reason
Ngl i would've preferred it if it was just a vest and a pair of gauntlets rather than actually covering his body
@@jj_zeroshiki Yeah but he was described as a "punching bag" so it makes sense on why he got that certain armour and power
@@48wonder I actually liked it, energy absorption is a power used in fiction all the time. I don't know about his weapons, dialog, weird suit, and his character giving up to go back and put his wife in danger.
@@felixfungle-bung4688 Considering he tapped out in a fight he could win at the beginning of the movie, it was already established that he gives up sometimes. Though, Raiden basically pushed him back to his family.
@@zackrose6261 True that's a detail I overlooked. With that being said I picked up on most of the subtitle details about the character but they could've flushed it out more.
Please don’t make me wait until I’m 30 to see Shao Kahn at the end😭😭 I thought I would see him in the movie but nope. I don’t even think they said his name.
i mean they mentioned him in like some sort of picture when sonya introduces Cole into the mortal kombat thingy
@@blindedd yea but would you like to see him break someone’s nose and then rip off the front of their face and then laugh.
@@carterwilson7824 nah for me i would just like to see him do a fatality and just say "You Suck"
@@blindedd yes that to
I wish they did not kill off mileena, because I wanted to see her interact with shao kahn😩
it would be cool if johnny cage’s dragon tattoo is on his chest and he makes it the “o” in the “johnny” tattoo.... if that makes sense....
J🐉HNNY
Yo that would be sick design, I agree
man this is a very good idea I really want to see that
I can feel this review. Probably one of the fairest and balanced reviews I've seen to date. I'm a fan regardless.
I mostly enjoyed everyone's interpretation, as I think the goal was for the production company to do well enough to secure a franchise, no big deal...
I was captivated by Sub Zero's interpretation, he was basically the MK edition of the Winter Soldier. Pun intended 😁
Epic Winter Soldier pun lol
Idk if you watched his non spoiler review vid but if not, the comments on there from those that didn't like the movie was insane!
This guy makes me joyous and proud to be an Mk fan
His devotion to MK is great for the fan base and the game itself but I felt in his review he was way too generous. I get it, he wanted to show love but the writing was bad. Mk is rich in lore, and the movie doesn't capture it. But I'm hoping that sequel brings forth better writers
@@yadielayala I mean, it is all opinionated anyways. I, personally, loved the film for what it was. It had flaws but it was a fun watch which is all I truly ask for from a MK adaptation.
The review was amazing!! Definitely want Sequel.. close to the games... also just realized that you didn't speak at all about Mileena!!
What's to say?. Shes just a boring outworld lady......
@@masteryoda7366 excuse me but Mileena is the best female mortal kombat character there ever was in human history
@@gaymerlol4778 I'm talking about the movis version. Not the game version 🤦♂️
Hey 👋 guys
Big fan
I hope they bring Mileena's actor back and recast her as Kitana ( since they're twins in the game ) I would definitely would like to see her back.
I want to see her back she was hot especially before her death when her mouth just cracks open she’s thicker than a bowl of oatmeal
@@richardjarquin9498 😂
I disagree that Jax is a "token black guy". He's been with the game since 1993 and has earned some respect.
I really liked the Reptile. I was concerned when they showed him in the trailer, but he looked really cool in the movie.
I enjoyed the movie for what it was, a video game movie.
I would love to see Erron Black, Jade, D'Vorah and Fujin in future MK movies.
Here's some castings i think would be cool to see happening for other movie installments
Ursula Cobrero as Skarlet
Scott Eastwood as Erron Black
Joseph Gatt as Baraka
Luke Hemsworth as Stryker
Dude im Native American and I hope they add Nightwolf to the next sequel of MK.
I'm speaking this into existence! He Will Be In It! 💯🎬❤️
Yess
I'cant wait until next sequel
Question is will it be the same Nightwolf they showed in the clippings? Or will it be a new person taking up the mantle like they hinted at in his intros and ending for MK11?
Nightwolfs bad ass
Yess
But we don't know Nightwolf will appeared in MK 2,MK 3 or Mk 4?
We also know Mortal Kombat will make a sequel after Joe Taslim signed His acting for Sub-Zero not 2 not 3 but 4 sequel
Wooooooowww!!!!!
Sonya most likely had the training she needed without the marking, so when she got her mark she new what she had to do, and she grew a bond with cole and wanted to save him
Very plausible
It’s also possible her will is so strong that she was able to find her ability
hell no
I liked how raiden sounded like the original raiden when he first appeared
(Kabal steps on screen)
Shang Tsung: Anyone smell bacon?
Cole Young had literal plot armor.
i just wish takeda was there
I can confirm that Reptile indeed was in the movie. Shang Tsung called on the reptilian, Syzoth. Syzoth is Reptiles real name. His minutes on screen were awesome and I loved his look.
Very much inspired by his dark alliance look minus the outfit
Actually yeah that fight was definitely a standout for me.
@@loneshinobi2682 when I saw him in the trailer is was already 100% down with it. I think they did reptile justice after his appearance in the 95 movie and annihilation
@@codyd13 I liked his reveal in the movie and it gave me chills and I can detect a sense of fear with that because this is a more powerful version of reptile since the older movies.
@@F0NZ13 absolutely. He looked, moved and fought exactly as I would expect from Reptile. Especially the invisibility aspect. The bit with the flare to make him “visible” was really clever
I think kuai liang will appear as sub zero's descendent because bi hans age is nearly 200 years as he said he killed hanzo centuries ago.
Not really. Cryomancers have a long life expectancy. He will turn up as his sibling not descendant.
But I mean could it be that cryomancers in the movie don't age, so if that's the case they could still make kuai liang his brother and not his descendant
Definitely his brother. Joe Taslim confirmed on social media that Sub zero is half-edenian and half Chinese-American. That why he lives so long.
@@aldojaramillo1390 it can be but my theory was that maybe shang tsung granted bi han that he can die only if he is killed. In games he also granted erron black that thing so the theory i am stating is possible.
@@user-ux7ks7ec8l yup i know that from games. I just thought that they must be having a different take for cinema. If joe confirmed maybe they will follow the games itself.
I cant wait for the sequel and hopefully they get more characters in and I also hope they bring back KANO and KUNG LAO
And cole young too
Cyber-eye revenant Kano and revenant Kung Lao!
And Kabal, all the best characters start with K 🤔
they should get johnny cage for the sequel. many people were sad he wasnt in this one. trying to think of an actor who would be a good fit for the role. someone who can do jokes & dark humor like ryan reynolds in deadpool.
@@nijaitheleakerunderminerof4144 I agree that cole young should comeback maybe he can be a counsel or they can make him into a better character
Kabal has been treated amazingly well, considering all the characters featured and the few lines he was given. The voice actor was amazing too. Subzero, Kung Lao and Sonya were extremely accurate imo.
Last but not the least, the decision to threw Reiko and Nitara on the movie was a great call for me. I played the 3D era games too so I definitely enjoyed that. They can always bring them back, nobody really dies on the MK universe.
If I can try and get one point across as to why I'm positive even tho the movie was subpar. It's that if we support this movie it opens the door to other MK projects and they can take the criticism and make the perfect MK movie for part 2. I mean we didn't even get the torny yet so there is hugeeee hope!
I hope we see the “toasttyy!” Guy in the sequel
The toasty guy is called Dan forden
If ed boon says "toasty" I'm going to scream my lungs out
I just finished seeing the movie and you upload the review of it, it was awesome!
In the sequel, I can see having Cole Young becoming good friends with Johnny Cage and they have a Buddy Cop relationship. Might make people like Cole a little better.
True that
The movie is the reason how I got into MK. My mom used to play MK when she was young, one of the first three games. She found the movie on NOW TV and decided to watch it. I didn’t have interest but at the same time I stayed in the same room with her and when we finished it, I loved it and started playing MK11. I watch some MK storyline summary here just to at least know what’s going on with the story. I understand some, but I kinda need to know characters that aren’t in or are just cameos in MK11 and maybe watch some story mode gameplay from previous games
Forget a custom character, Cole Young is this MK Universe's Mokap!!
Scorpion was legit. Would love to see the full backstory.
My guess on Kung Lao coming back is, they figure out a way to extract his soul from Shang Tsung. That way they can setup that Shaolin Monks movie without it having to be a prequel.
Well killing him would free Kung Lao’s soul.
Probably Revenant stuff in next movie..
My guess is we might be introduced to Kenshi and Ermac in the next movie. I'm thinking that Ermac would be like his old timeline counterpart, having defected to Earthrealm's side after fighting Kenshi and the two have journeyed together since then. Ermac could use his powers to free Kung Lao's soul from Shang Tsung.
The Kabal actor said “death is only another portal to another realm 😏”
That is the line Shang Tsung said to Raiden after Subzero died. Shang said "Today you killed my warriors and you think you have won. But death is only another portal."
Why would Kabal have said that at any time throughout the movie, he was burned not killed.
@@soulblade2099 bruh the actor said that
He’s teasing that he’s gonna come back
ehhh thats not kabal dude lmao .....
@@Makaveli13Xroy on Instagram the actor said that
He’s saying Kabal will be back
Bi Han and Kabal were the two best characters by a mile.
That being said, Scorpion, Kung Lao and Kano were also pretty rad
Biggest thing I want to see is a longer run time. Next film should easily be 2.5 hours. It would be nice to also see Raiden in combat.
You know it would be amazing, that Joe Taslim Interpreted Kuei Lian claiming to be the twin brother or could be the direct descendant of Bi Han having the scar, but without any doubt, Sub Zero as much as Bi Han or Kuei Lian has to be played by Joe Taslim without any doubt, greetings from Argentina !!!!!
The only thing I can say is that she’s a badass with her energy rings
The tv series could be called White lotus and be centered around Liu Kang and Kung Lao and some of raiden training them.
Good idea!
If Jax had tiny Rex metal arms and got a upgrade, Sonya easily could have a weak arm gun, some kind of shooting machine attached to her arms, so when she shows up to shot Mileena, the gun would shoot the stronger energy as a surprise.
It's THAT easy.. How they can screw up things like that?
I loved your spoiler review, by far the most unbiased I have watched so far, thanks for keeping it real
They need make lui kang main character point period he was so underused and actor perfect for the role the kast was perfect
Talk to em bro. He should of but instead we get cole 😑 n I almost guarantee Johnny might be the main since they hyping up a big actor for that role(which they shouldn’t) since it’s once again sideline Liu Kang
@@ogsloppnbiscuiitz1108 it’s a movie. Y’all want the storyline? Go play the games again. You ain’t gonna find 12-15 games packed into 1. 2 hour film. Period.
Don’t know what y’all expected doesn’t take place in the game universe so stop crying about it..
@@Monkforilla foo that’s EXACTY what they did 😂 tf movie did u watch? N nobody cryin it’s called criticism goofy n now lemme ask did u like this movie cause u defending it like u love it
Nahhhhh erron black is the real main character because he's sooooo rich
@@ogsloppnbiscuiitz1108 lui kang as main character? Didn’t you hear like a year ago the main character was just going to be a new, guy.
I did enjoy it a lot tho and I can’t wait for da 2nd one :P
THIS MOVIE WAS SO FREAKING AWESOME! KANO WAS SO FREAKING FUNNY!
Mortal Kombat 2021 is just like a pre-qual which explains about how the kombat actually started
between realms.
Which kinda make sense.
That's a weak explanation of why the realms fight each other. They could've done better job going way back back at the beginning of the tattoo, origins of Raiden/Shang Sung, what is out world how and why they want earth realm... . It feels they want to explain the movie for non fans but leave stuff that only fans can understand....
@@xzgun100 yes it is weak explanation but I think that's what the Warner bros and nether realm wants. It's like if you like the movie ( non fans of MK) and if you want to know the stories behind these characters then you have to play the game. In the end I think it's their marketing strategy.
@@Krishnakujur78 yeah I understand but it was poorly executed as a cinematographic point of view. It was too casual not enough depth. It felt more like an episode of a serie than a movie. I thought it was a fine movie. It was just missing some umph here and there to make it epic.
Kano died, gets resurrected, lost his dragon to sonya... so in the sequel, kano kills cole and gets his dragon back in order to get his powers back.
I loved everything and everyone. Sonya was my fav to my own surprise. Kano was great as well. Like I said I loved everything and everyone. Phenomenal. Edit: One small detail I liked was how after Shang Tsung gushes about Nitara's beuty you can see Mileena glaring at her, most likely out of jealousy. Fitting imo.
I feel like Raiden they treat him like a human in the movie and the game i want more of him he a God he was made to destroy people
Idk, I just want a 'Fire & Ice' spin-off movie. Opening scene was awesome. Sub-Zero and Scorpion together on-screen.... Pure gold. I need that movie with Hiroyuki Sanada and Joe Taslim.
I like how lui kang spammed his kick against kano when they were training lol
I need Kitana in the next movie! I wished Shang Tsung and Raiden had a more commanding presence. The characters were okay
My two biggest complaints with this movie were the pacing and some of the editing. Since it was a short movie they weren’t able to focus on certain things as much as I would of liked. What I mean by the editing was that the cuts to different characters and scenes felt sorta messing and uneven, the cgi was great. Other than that I think the movie is good.
And the kung lao fatality was awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
i graduated from high school yesterday 😁
Congrats 🎉
Nice
Let's goooooo
Imagine a TV series of mortal kombat live
What you said about having Goro killing Lao would have definitely resolved the issue of Kung Lao being off’d so easily and generating a feeling of Goro being powerful.
I have my fair share of criticisms, but the positives outweigh the negatives. I give the film a solid 7/10. Personally, I think the movie acts as a good foundation and a series on HBO Max would be the best route to flesh the characters out.
