The biggest let down in the movie was that Raiden never said " I must consult with the elder gods"
If you asked a lay person who had no MK knowledge to explain who Raiden and Shan Tsung are after watching this movie.. would they have any clue? Think hard on that
Or how liu kang never made the turkey noises when he bicycle kicked kabal
@@x-nova5957 liu kang is just the ancestor of putties from power rangers
That's because Raiden IS an elder god in this movie, which is all kinds o' wrong for me.
@@MrBopeel He always has been...
Cole is like the “create a fighter” in ps2 Armageddon
Lmao fr
Cole is more than „MoKap“ from MK Deadly Alliance.
Nobody needed him, nobody wanted him - Everybody laughed at him!
Why was that game so fun tho 🤣🤣
🤣😂🤪 lmao
No the create a fighter in armageddon was better because in armageddon there wasn't a "a little help guy" cole was really the a little help guy take Cole out of the next film dear god but no offense to the actor he could probably have wrote his own lines better his character too not just the lines was just bad sad for the actor
LIU KANG (1995) - The Chosen One
LIU KANG (2021) - The Useless One
❗💯💯🤦♂️
He should have been the main character 🤦🏾♀️
@@kaylabennett5897 exactly
Ever hear of a character growth arc? Maybe this Liu Kang is pretty young
@@gessnermatt character growth? Heck you must need character development to give character growth. And Liu Kang in this movie doesn't have any
Scorpion only speaks Japanese then says " Get over here!" in english, then goes back to speaking Japanese and y'alls concern was Sub-Zero speaking three languages? WTF??
Hell's english courses are severely lacking...
@@luissantana3996 because the lin kuei is based in China, where the shirai ryu is Japanese
they will complain too if scorpion said get over here in japanese lol
@@luissantana3996 despite the actor isn't chinese lol
@@aytothakay oh thanks bro , I actually didn’t even pay that much attention to know that
Dude every time they cast someone for Kano, game or movie, that actor knocks it out of the park. This Kano has to be my favorite.
He still can't top the original 95 actor(R.I.P. to him) that guy was the reason for Kano's default design in MK11.
@@DonYoGi8331 he topped it majorly but hey. Everyone's got their own opinion against fact
@@jackcutter2 nah you're is the opinion 95 is far better but you're opinion is you're own 🤷♂️
@@DonYoGi8331 he's the reason for why Kano's character is how he is now too.
@@lyricflowergaming432 nah YOURS is the actual opinion the best Kano is the middle one.
If Johnny Cage shows up in the next movie only to get his neck snapped within the first 2 minutes, I riot.
Should have done an end credits scene with him.
@@sabreeemneely I seriously skipped past the credits hoping to see that.
@@sabreeemneely they probably haven’t casted him yet
@@sabreeemneely Are you serious? The end of the movie was about getting Johnny Cage.. Did you miss that? 🙄
If they cast the miz I don’t mind if cage dies in 2 mins
I love how everyone had something badass and Cole just got a shirt from Wakanda
He got a microtransaction scorpion skin😂
@@guybrushthreepwood8174 bought from Wish :D
Yesssssss!! Oh man you nailed it there! It really felt like a cheap rip off of Black Panther's suit.
It was also so obvious thst Jaxs power ups would erm...regular arms?
literal plot armor
Shang Tsung of the 1995 movie was 100 times more interesting as an antagonist compared to the 2021 scrub we got
He was so good they brought his actor back in Mortal Kombat
No one can replace 95's but 2021 was alright
Being a fan of Goro is hard these days, first he gets destroyed by Scorpion in the animated movie and now he gets destroyed by some fan made character who's power is a shirt
They're saving Kintaro for Mortal Kombat 2. Killing Goro was necessary. He'll come back once they explore the time travel thing. And THEY will. They did it with Mortal Kombat 11. However, canonically - the story of "Mortal Kombat" prequel/reboot takes place around Mortal Kombat 10. They already referenced Mortal Kombat 9 ("9 tournaments").
😂😂😂
@@CarlosXPhone if this movie was to set up the story then why was it such a rushed piece of s***? Why did they rush it if they were trying to go anywhere with it in the first place?
@@t-par2950 Man, I don't know if you realize this or not... WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC.
Jesus.
@@CarlosXPhone hahaha. "Pandemic" shut up, nerd. Anyone who takes this covid crap seriously is ALWAYS a weirdo
Cole's plot armor so strong, he went from 'go back home you useless piece of shit' to whipping Shang Tsung's Champion Goro's ass in 5 minutes.
Just so he can lose to milena and nerd to be saved after. Great writing 😊👍
His arcana is literally armor, hence the plot armor
@@dominance666 I think meleena had a more advantage to beating Cole 1 she's fast and 2 she can teleport while goro is strong but a dimwitted soul lol but idk maybe I'm wrong
Be barely did that. Dude was getting his ass whooped and his wife stepped in to help.
@@ej13012010 goro was the mortal kombat champion for 500 years.... yeah cole beating him is absolute bs.
Scorpion, speaking Japanese: Get your family out of here Cole.
Cole, turning to his family: The fudge did he just say?
As least cole somehow understand what scorpion said.
@@benreaper4867 because...bloodline. lol
変だね?
変(へん) strange
"It's strange, right?"
@@hoviksmail Dom: because "FAMILY"
My girlfriend was so disappointed with this movie, said she needed to write a letter expressing how disappointed she was...I was 3 beers in from minute one so I had a blast.
I'm disappointed in this comment and Im sober
That's the key...."to unlocking your Arcana"
The guy who played Kano was a fucking absolute treat, hope he shows up in the inevitable sequel
Kano eye design is impressive, is not copying very much like terminator
Hmm he was doing to much like Johnny Cage lol
He‘ll be back in the next movie with a metal eye sense Sonya destroyed his eye
Didnt he die?
Nah that's not the kano we all know he's too much like Johnny cage. Now anyone who just makes jokes is a fan favorite 🙄
I don't understand why directors think quick cut editing looks good for action scenes. It happens so often you can barely follow along with the martial arts moves being used.
It’s so they can cheat scenes without actually choreographing and executing good fight sequences. That’s part of what makes John Wick action scenes so good.
Because without the quick cuts the choreography would feel slower and they wanted to make it faster like the game
Man that looks so look. Did you look it?
The best martial arts scene in the whole movie happened in the first, what, 5? 10 minutes? When Hanzo murders his way through Bi-Han's Lin Kuei. The rest of the martial arts in the film is largely disappointing, because it's overshadowed by the special effects superpowers. That's not to say I don't think some of the subsequent action scenes are entertaining...but from a martial arts' perspective, there's really very little of substance there.
@@bobbydazzlersesh at times you could tell they were really slow hitting eachother. Then you look at matrix and the speed and training is clearly there
Kung Lao is underrated in this movie. even though he didn't get to talk as much as Kano, he was literally the most entertaining just through body language and cockiness.
Kung
Kung Lao*
Kano*
Who the Fuck is "Kon lao & Kaino"???
😂😂😂😂😂
I liked kano and I think he may have been the only actual actor in the whole film.
I also like that he explained what he did ( in case the audience was too stupid to understand) that it was a "flawless victory"
Cole had literal plot armor as his power
Sub Zero: Kills Hanzo's family mercilessly!!!
Also Sub Zero: leaves Cole's family on a wall...
Cole got some broken powers.
I don't know whether to find that hilarious, depressing, or both.
I kept thinking Cole was gonna turn into Scorpion for his power since he was the descendent of Scorpion.
lol same here, but oh boy was I pleasantly surprised when the actual Scorpion threw his hook along with "GET OVER HERE"
Cole turned out to be boring and generic af.
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.
Instead, he became Black Panther with tonfas.
@@purefoldnz3070 They spent so much time on Cole and he matters so little in the grand scheme of things I felt like they really should have just focused more on the backstory of other characters like they did Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
Lost of clearly missed opportunities to maximize screen time without being boring, they did not even need to cut anything as it was only 1 hour 50 minutes long, they could have added another 20 - 30 minutes in there on other characters backstories, shit would be awesome to see.
Cole Young literally grew plot armor as the movie progressed. .😂😂
😂
im Dead xD
Glad I wasn't the only one that caught that lmao
he keep getting saved by his fam... so weak
Haven't seen the film, but it's still probably not as bad as the Daemon X Machina BS Cassie pulled at the end of MKX. That was some of the worst plot-armor I've ever seen.
MK has 90+ characters, and they decide to invent the most boring dude with the most unimaginative power to be the main character. Why? Shit, make Liu Kang the main character and have him go about recruiting people for the tournament before Sub assassinate them all.
And that arcana crap. Why do you need to explain where they get their powers from. Cause how does this mystical crap explain how Jax's, Sonya's, and Kano's powers work. Their powers are more in line with technology than magic.
They should’ve made the movie about scorpion and sub-zero because they have a lot of backstory and they fight each other countless of times. That alone could’ve made a better movie.
That's what I thought it was going to be, even moreso after I saw Scorpion's Revenge.
It was about them lol
@@rogerarteaga2665are you slow in the head?
Liu Kang’s power: The ability to control fire. Kano’s power: The ability to shoot a laser from his eye. Sonia’s power: Fires sweet looking plasma rings from her wrists. Cole’s power: A fucking shirt! 10 out of 10!
Jax power: Arms
@@gustavosantana7711 lmfaooo
His power reminds me of Bishop from X-man he absorbs the hits and it powers him up to do high damage, We also cant forget his baton and his baton blade.
Dude, Cole Young's power is a litteral plot armor
They should have just used the dude from the game man
Cole's power was literally plot armor.
He's a BDO Striker
When I was watching it with my bro I literally paused the movie and said that
He was straight up a bootleg black panther. I mean fucking hell they even used the whole absorbing damage thing.
It actually is lol
@@blazypoo1723 i used to absorb damage too, until i took an arrow in the knee.
Cole Young final fight: imma punch this ice aight?
Cole is from Hanzos bloodline but doesn’t get some kind of fire ability to use. Doesn’t use the spear. ......then why tie him to Hanzo at all!!?
Beacuse Scorpion's the mascot, therefore Cole, the son of one of the most popular fighting game characters must automatically be loved by the fanbase. I think that's the logic the marketers and writers were going by.
AJ: "You couldve had johnny and given him a family."
Sonya and Cassie: "Ummmmmm...."
Lmaooo
What messed me up is when Cole got his powers they automatically crowned him leader and started listening to everything he said.
Seriously ... five minutes earlier he quit on saving the world and ran home ... comes back and they act as if he's their hero.
Yeah the film had some major issues
Now new guy has better strategy thinking than Jax and Sony, two veteran hard bad ass experiencied marine soldiers.
well of course because he is scorpions descendent thats automatic mary sue
his power was plot armor, literally
It was a nice wink 😉 when Kano made a reference about people spamming the low kick
That was hilarious
My fav part
Lol thay shit was funny he tried to hop. And thats the sweep not the low kick.
@Derrek James Yes!!!!!
When you learn is more important do well 1 move than do many moves
they created cole young just for him to punch some ice while scorpion fights subzero.
The movies we didnt get: Scorpion: The Tamer of Hell. Kano: The Hero Slayer. Mileena: The Monster of the Flesh Pits.
yeah good thing those movies weren't made. lets at least get the mortal kombat movie to be good first.
Angry Joe when Johnny Cage isn’t in the movie: AREEEE YOU- AREEE YA OUTTTTAAAA YERR MINDDDDDD?!
Oh they mention him in the movie. Just not spoiling shit
Watch until the end🤫🤫
I was grateful they left Cage out. I've never liked him.
@@shadowjudge921 How many times can i dislike your comment. At least he grew unlike certain characters *cough* Liu Kang * cough* though i do have to say 11 did give him a good arc.... fuck 9.
@Gaurav Dosanjh
WB replacing Johnny Cage for a generic bland nobody who does not appear in the games = ARE YA.....ARE YA.....ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR MIND???????
Kano - Eye lasers
Liu Kang - Fire power
Cole - Armor
Jax - THE POWER OF ARMS!!!
Sonya - Onion Rings
Smoke...smoke.
So forget Sonya ?
Johnny cage -
Jax’s arm powers were the stupidest thing. They shoulda made his power be that purple light he can shoot and do ground pounds with.
its funny how Sonya says she wants to fight the "bitch with the teeth" even though when she fought her she had completely normal teeth
She had a normal MOUTH, she still had spiked teeth
@@xxTricky She did NOT have normal teeth at that time.
Cry
Joe: “As a fan, go out and see this film... as a critique... ehhh, continue to watch the review”
Me: Ah, shit, here we go again 😂😂😂
Cole's costume is like those commercials for pain relievers where they show you muscle pain. 😕
Bahahaahhahahahahhahahhahaa brahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I’m dead
OMG lmao it was!!!
HA!🤣
Yooooo lmfao nailed it man 😂😭
That was hilarious. xD
I lost my shit when Liu Kang put his hand on Kano and said "There's much to learn" and Kano was like "the fuck?" I couldn't stop laughing at that part. That and the "no Harry Potter shit" line.
Dude same lmaoo that sht cracked me up
🤣😂🤣🤣
That and when sonya was told she couldn't fight on the pit and Kano says " fuckin whoops" lol
I almost never do this when I watch a movie but I loved that so much I actually watched that part 3 times.
"Hey! David Copperfield!"
Everything about this seemed, to me, like a movie from the early 2000's.
Scorpion King was better than this movie
This movie made me want to re-watch the original mortal kombat. In that sense, it's a great movie.
The original one was good esp for the time at least they paid attention to the source material and didn't say hey let's just completely make up totally new shit
The original one would have been perfect if they made it a hard rated R movie. In the decade of “EXTREME RATED R ACTION MOVIES!” Why they decided to make a movie based on the most violent video game of the time period rated “PG-13” is just beyond my comprehension.
Well, like, I know why they did it, because they wanted kids to see it. But give me a break… Let’s be real here, kids would’ve watched it anyways. Even if it was rated X kids would’ve watched it. It was a stupid decision to make it rated PG-13 . Especially during an age when “political correctness“ was scoffed at.
Liu kang needed to be a major character, he seemed cool as hell they didn’t give him enough screen time. He should have been the main character over cole
He was the main character of the other movies so they probably just wanted to do something different.
@@jetsetatrophy67 yeah that really works out well in remakes lol
@@jetsetatrophy67 sometimes different doesn’t always mean better
Shang tsung said next time out bring and army so I know he will bring Kung lao back with his army and some other characters
Cole young is used primarily as audience proxy in the movie, needed to give non-MK viewer a bit of insight of MK world. Probably liu kang will have his time in the sequel...
The 3 sweeps on Kano and then him saying "Is that the only move you know?" had me in fucking tears laughing.
Literally the only part of the movie where I chuckled. Im glad to have gotten something out of it.
OMG MY STEP DAD DID THAT SHIT TO ME!! when i saw that i damn near fell out of my chair, especially when he jumped then got swept! my kids couldn't figure out why i was crying laughing.
@@gummibear696 you're the food critic from rattatouie right?
@@imoldgregg8571 Hilarious
I caught that video game call back too!
Cole's Arcana is basically....He has the ability to be Wobbufett
I’m gonna wait for the Zack Snyder cut of Mortal Kombat to be released
Hack cut 😅
When you wake up on Christmas morning expecting a good MK movie in your stocking, instead they just left you Cole...
Ha ha funny
Lmfaooo
Lmaooooo hahahaha
Toasty!!
FLAWLESS VICTORY
What's insane is Shang Tsung wasn't afraid of Raiden at all! In fact, their attitudes were reversed. I don't understand how they messed that up.
Exactly. I don't like seeing Raiden as a punk or a chump...he and Kung Lao both deserved better
ez , Tsung is from china and has the bat soup
Also what is insane is that AJ always interrupts and can never STFU
Get woke, go broke.
@@jessesisson2955 yup but all these new wannabe fans don't know shit about MK smh
Cole Young’s arcana is an under armour shirt. if you’re gonna make your own character you could’ve made the coolest character
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he had an under armor shirt when he got his powers lol
During some of the fights just before the fatalities was anyone else half expecting someone to say “finish him!”
I did
Best shit was Liu Kang low kick spamming Kano!
Nice little nod to all the people that cheesed that move over and over.
*sweep
@@matthewscottshea Cole's daughter shoulda yelled toasty when Cole used the uppercut
@@budgiecat9039 specifically when scorpion burned subzero. On the original game that’s when they would say it. Lol
The best part about Sub Zero just randomly speaking English in the 1400s is they still put subtitles for it!!!
Leader? I think it just made sense what he said and that's why they followed, not because he is their leader.
@@xstreampunk7662 Yeah they were just following him i.e. being led by him because it made sense what he said not because he was their leader
Probably because he's been working for outworld, where he learned various languages including English. 🤷
what is this thread lol
I had to rewind at that moment, because I thought I was tripping balls.
My favorite moment was watching this with my mom and she said “OMG I USED TO THAT MOVE ALL THE TIME” when Kano got his ass kicked.
Scorpion speaks in Japanese throughout the who movie, but say "get over here!"
This, some of the pandering to the fans was cringe. I get some pandering, or stuff fans will get. Actually the sweep kick done to Kano was pretty funny, and it's something that anybody who played the games would get. I'm a MK video game fan myself, but that moment of "GET OVER HERE" with scorpion in particular was so jarring and just took you out of the film. At least he should have shouted that in Japanese and it would have been fitting and a nice twist on what people expect. Also the serious disciplined Liu Kang just saying "Fatality" like the announcer in the game. Liu Kang who is supposed to be this devout disciplined Shaolin monk boasting "fatality" really? Just came off as out of place and lame. I enjoyed quite allot in different parts of the movie, and I will gladly go see a sequel, but they need to change direction in some areas. These films have the potential to be great and not just ok.
Look the man spent near on a thousand years in Hell. He is gonna learn every damned language in that time.
Did you not hear? Hell has a community college where you can attend a class for world language.
Well can you imagine him saying "Koko o norikoete" that would be badass.
@@coreyjones7894 ya probably no English speakers down there
Honestly the best parts of the film for me was the beginning segment, Kano, the game references the movie makes, the final fight, Scorpion snd Sub Zero.
I thought the invisible reptile fight was kinda neat and damn Kabal was ripped right out of the game
“Hello, I see your wife and child, which are my family descendants as well, were just encased in ice, which as we saw earlier is an actual threat in this movie because it killed my immediate family in the past AND destroyed Jax’ arms, also I learned to harness the fires of hell, but I’m going to jet off before unfreezing this room and even attempting to bring your wife and child to room temp. Hopefully there’s another guy with the arkana to control fire in your group. Cya!”
So 75% of the movie?
@@wrenegade2638 also scorpion was like take care of my bloodline.....like dude he is your blood, talk to him or at least hug him, the dude almost went through the same shit you did, it felt like Scorpion was a rando and not a ancestor to Cole, he felt like he didn’t care for Cole even though he should be very happy to see Cole, Cole is proof that his daughter lived a long life, had children and all that since she is his ancestor as well.
@@greyygoblinn5639 the destroyed reptiles character in this movie
I've spent 1h50m watching this movie only heard GET OVER HERE once, that really let my heart broken especially when i realized that the movie was over without the tournament even started
🤡🤡
Get over here was so weakly delivered as well. Woulda did better if they used the og voice over for that part
Sub Zero learned english from Shang Tsung's Academy of Outworld lol...
"Raiden, can you teleport anyone to anywhere?" is the point where the producer said "Whatever you guys have, you need to wrap it up and ship this thing, because we are out of money."
I know it felt like a fucking montage after that, like a highlight reel of what the fights were supposed to be; too rushed.
Lmao that’s really what happened
Plot sucked story was terrible and it was rushed
Something tells me that's when covid started to affect things beyond their control. I've noticed with a lot of material that has come out since the middle of 2020. Parts (usually the ending) are rushed wayyy to fast or just feel unfinsihed.
@Hi it was 1hr and 50 minutes of runtime, it doesnt need 2 hrs. it need to establish the characters
I'm Cole Young, and my Fatality is being saved by Scorpion...
And your wife and your daughter and jax, and sonya and liu kang etc. Lol
Hoping Scorpion gets freed from hell in the next movie so he doesn’t have to continue being tied to Cole. What a waste of Lewis Tan’s talents.
It was a friendship 🤗
@@piratekng looks more like suckshit
He's fatality is Bankruptcy, because he loses all the time
lol joe is back to not letting his guys talk LOL
Take a shot evertime he talks over someone or interrupts them
"It's a birthmark." "he was born with it"... You don't say!
*insert Nick Cage face meme*
In the movie, it's in opposite order, which makes more sense than in the trailer.
bro you dissing the jojo mark.
cole young is a jojo his stand allows him to cover himself as armour like white album.... get jojo lore right bruh
The nail in the coffin for this movie for me was when jax was tryna lift that rock off of Sonya and said bam my power is to grow robot arms wtf was that scene nobody gonna talk about that lol
Yeah I had to rewind that and watch again because I thought something got cut out due to a buffering error. That part with jax's arms made no sense, lot of bad writing in this but I expected that.
he didnt know how to use his arms at first. then he tapped into the right software or O/S so to speak...and was able to use the full potential of the arms!!
The whole arcana thing was a superfluous waste of time. We don't need a non canonical mechanic which takes half an hour to flesh out just to justify why Liu Kang has fireballs.
@@lorencostello6205 Damn Microsoft! Always installing shIt w/o consent. Well, at least Jax got a free update to Windows 10.
Yooo you should watch my mortal kombat review
Where tf was Raiden like the whole time? Shang Tsung shows up and kills your boy and Raiden is taking a damn nap.
I thought the same thing
exactly this movie fuckin sucked because of that, wtf was Raiden doing, jerking it
Like in the games, he can't interfere without punishment from the Elder Gods. He even said it in the movie. Hopefully they will dive into that more if they ever bring in Shinnok
@@christianvasquez873 he can interfere when Shang Tsung's sideshow freaks attack his fighters outside the tournament, and this whole movie was outside the tournament
Raiden was consulting with the Elder Gods...
All I wanted was to see the tournament.
Give Kano his own movie. I want to watch this guy develop from childhood, build the Black Dragon, lose the Black Dragon, and then survive in this chaotic environment.
Yoo can't believe Kreate a Fighter from MK Armageddon made his way into the movie!
Right ??!?!??
I see what you did there
With literal plot armour!
😂😂😂😂
Straight up
When Jaxs had those chicken bone arms i was laughing so damn hard
*_Him pathetically punching that bag will be a meme._*
yeah i was like WTF is this bullshit then his arms got legit and i was like OK cool.
he was a T-Rex lmao
Arms made in Hong Kong, or mainland China....whichever is funnier.
Me and my sister was too
What is this strategy of attracting "new" people to established franchises by alienating the core fan base and who was the moron who came up with it?
Warner bros pressured the director to put cole into the movie. Originally it was going to be Johnny cage
Cole's power should have been that when hes at almost defeated like 98% health loss, he swaps places with scorpion and now you get to use scorpions move set. They could bring scorpion back every movie and it would make sense
Dude that would've been bad ass! And it would make sense since he's the only human left carrying Scorpions bloodline and they could've made it seem like Cole was necessary for Scorpion to return to earth.
I thought the young girl was Coles sister and the women tending his wounds in the beginning was just a girlfriend or something. I had no idea those women were his family until the middle of the movie...
Thought she was his adoptive mom lol
Dude, same. I even said that to my wife closer to the end when he fights Goro
Bro, I thought the same, then the sis comes over and I thought it was both their mom and then they kissed, I was like WTF
LOL. So I wasn't the only one confused about that.
Same same
How you get submitted in a mma fight then beat prince Goro the next day?
😂
Goro was done dirty 😂😂. At least in the 90s version he whooped basically everyone until Johnny cheated to win against em xD
Yea a couple people got jobbed bad
It was so dumb
@@J64866 HEY! you'd cheat too if someone broke your $500 sunglasses asshole!
They could have turned Cole's role into Johnny Cage
The "arcana finding" part was just unnecessary. They could explain Cole getting his powers because Scorpion was his ancestor. Jax, Sonya and Kano powers could all be explained as technology, new gear they got to help on the kombat.
The whole Arcana was added just to give Cole his "awakening" moment with power up.
The movie wasted so much portion of its run time unlocking their arcana it doesn't even feel like Mortal Kombat during that time.
The whole training scene could have been the characters showing off their power & new high-tech gears to get ready for the fight instead of constantly searching for some inner power bs.
As an Aussie, Kano represents how much Australians swear perfectly!
This right here!
Yep
He didnt say cunt at all. 0/10
He was an awesome character loved every min he had
Is it true you guys have giant spiders
It was dumb fun and I liked it overall. It did make me laugh that Cole's power was literally plot armor...
SMH FACE PALM COLE
I said the same thing! Lol. Loved the movie regardless
It’s not power, I forgot the name but it has a name
He was basically the man with the iron fists if he he had a iron shirt rather than the fists lol
@@Ecl1pxe arcana
I hate how studios want to use a property without using the characters or stories that made that property popular in the first place
I kept thinking that Cole was going to be possessed by Scorpion as his power and then defeat sub zero, but nah, got him a shirt.
Exactly! No reason to tie him to Hanzo .... at all.
Lol him turning into scorpion would be stupid Wym
It would have been interesting if Cole was Takeda and he actually was studying the Shirai ryu, and gained a connection to scorpion.
yea thought the same
I hope that’s the case lol
I woulda been good with that.... or if they kinda used this movie as a Retcon kinda to say that he is Takeda and Takeda is actually a descendant of Hanzo Hazashi.
That’s Exactly what they should of done with it! Would of made so much more sense! Fuck cole
fuck yes
Nobody :
Kabal : “He’s getting the SOUL SUCC’D out of him”
dead ass bro! lol i was like Woah there partner!!! pause on that!!!
@@G-Tang pause 😂 son wild out on that part
Kang was like whats going on with my brothers screaming with his facial expression but I guess kids now don't see faces very often anymore
Someone needs to make an edit where they cut out soul. "HE'S GETTING SUCCCC'D!"
pause.
Josh Lawson deserves all the accolades for basically carrying this entire film and making it watchable!
And as we all know, death means nothing in MK, I'm sure they'll be back!
TRUE! Give the man a flippin' OSCAR!...or even better...A Golden Gnome /wink
IMO Kano was the best character in the whole film. We need to get a movie about him and his history with Kabal and the Black Dragon clan.
He was by far the best Actor at the very least, and the only one who was actually entertaining to watch and really portrayed the character well, he pretty much made the movie for me.
I'm surprised he's my favorite too.
Australians are taking over.
Bout time. Theyve always been pretty cool.
You too NZ
Was he? I just thought he talked a lot but I don’t blame him because the movie fucked his role up
Meh he killed the immersion of the lore
This film should've focused on Liu Kang imo
Liu kang and kung lao, shaolin monks style
Nah the old movies were about Liu I’m glad they switched it up
@@natedog2I0 switched it up to a... vanilla create a character default no one asked for? Not a single memorable line.
There are more movies coming out
I think the second movie will focus on Liu Kang alongside Johnny Cage. Idk what role Johnny will bring, but Liu Kang definitely gonna have a fight with Shang Tsung after what he has done to Kung Lao. I'm glad they setup some heat between Liu Kang and Shang Tsung. Just like Scorpion is archnemesis to Sub-Zero, Liu Kang is a archnemesis to Shang Tsung. Also notice that this movie is not about the tournament at all, just them having a fight outside of ring. Therefore there is no champion. They can make this Cole as a lead character, but Liu Kang must be the one who defeat Shang Tsung and become the champion. It will be stupid to see someone else take down Shang Tsung instead of Liu Kang now after they make the sorcerer take Kung Lao's soul
imagine not having Johnny Cage in a Hollywood MK movie.
"Hollywood MK movie" is redundant.
Yeah, personally I thought the new character Cole was completely pointless and stupid. The director's reasoning for it is nonsense - Johnny Cage could have easily been the "audience character" who is discovering all this stuff for the first time. Cole is ridiculous.
@@dereksbooks bet you're a blast at parties.
The thing that gets me the most is cole is the replacement for Johnny cage like whaaaaat!?! At 22:00 raeko isn’t a mindless brute from what I remember he’s like a super genius general that wins wars with his genius strategy
anyone else thought Sub-zero was going to be Quan Chi?
Alex fucking nailed it! "Why did we only spend 5 minutes on the Mortal Kombat part of the Mortal Kombat movie"
Exactly, he closed the doors shut. 29:17
I called it a week ago after seeing this horrendous crap. Its an *5/10* at best.
@@blessethishe you’re fucking taking the piss. It’s easily a 8/10
@@threat9231 6 and a half out of 10. It wasnt a bad film but it wasnt great
@@blessethishe LMFAO nah fam. It was a 7.5/10 😂
Because it was setting up a franchise of movies and this was the first one. IF every movie was about a tournament it would get stale.
Kind of hated the CGI for Raidens eyes lmao dude literally never blinked!
That's one of the perks of being a god i think
That shit was TV show levels terrible. I seen better effects on CW DC shows.,
@@EduardoOliveira-fd5bg lol
cgi for liu kangs fire in his hand was bad too
@@ACE112ACE112 looked fine to me
Come on guys subzero learned English through the centuries....he’s been around for thousands of years, that’s why he can speak English because it’s present day when he resurfaces
🤦♂️
They are saying about the opening scene, where Sub Zero/Bi Han attacks Scorpion/Hanzo’s family in the year 1400. Sub Zero at that time is not thousands of years old ninja. And both Japan and China in 1400 doesn’t really have contact with the only country using English, the British Empire. Not to mention, in the 1400, their English is not the same as today’s English.
So, it’s quite strange for the year 1400 Sub Zero to know English, and the modern version of it as well lol
@@AtriasNaradan I was being that deep and the comment was sarcastic and they never spoke English in the opening scene but subzero did know Japanese and Chinese that’s why Scorpion 🦂 said he did not understand what subzero was saying because it was in Chinese...but it’s a freakin movie enjoy it it’s not that serious
Cole’s superpower was essentially black panther, but the kinetic energy created weapons for him lol
The best part of this film was hands down Kano freaking out over the egg roll
No way kung lao fatality.
Lui kang using the leg sweep cheese move from game 3 times and kano saying that the only bloody move you know
the "a laster beam, thats better than fireballs, ya pussy" got me for some reason.
It was KAno and Kabal for me, especially the soul sucking part, I was genuinely happy when he said that lol 90% of everything else sucked though.
The Bad: Raiden, Mileena, Cole Young, Nitara, Sonya, no real tournament. The good: Kano, Kabal, Scorpion, sub-zero, effects, game references
Kung Lao and Liu Kang were done well too. It was pretty trash there was no real tournament, maybe in the next one
İ liked Raved and sonya.
I couldn’t get over the fact that that they jumped out that plane into the desert with no equipment. Cole had on jeans & tshirt knowing he was going to train. No backpack or water bottle. Just jeans & tee
I thought that weird background prop in Raiden's temple was a nod to Chronika's time machine thingy from MK11 ?
The actor who portrays Cole gave the worst acting performance of the whole movie and the worst I’ve seen in a while. I don’t understand how you guys can’t see it
This movie gave me war flashbacks of seeing live action dragon ball z in the theater with my friends
How dare you.. that was DBE.. Not DBZ. How dare u besmirch the name.
Arkana means family!
Family means nobody gets left behind!
Dead😂
Make this a shirt
Lol I was thinking they meant ARCANA but this is Kombat so you’re right 🤣🤣🤣👌
"For family!"
-Dom Toretto
Lmao
Nah, this movie absolutely sucked. The writing was terrible, the lore was completely fucked. Cole was a worthless character.
And what they did to characters like Goro, and Kung Lao was just insulting. Leaving out Johnny Cage because “wE dOnT wAnT aNoThEr wHiTe PerSon As LeAd” is the most insulting and frankly, offensive bullshit of an excuse I’ve ever heard.
It seems like they wanted to make a movie about Scorpion and Sub-Zero, and they should have just done that. They should have just told separate, stand-alone story about Scropion and Sub-Zero. And that would have been great because just that story and those character alone have enough lore and backstory to make a movie.
For reptile they couldve introduced Him as human ninja syzoth let Him do the slime ball and the slide amplified with todays modern cgi effects and then at some Point he transforms into the saurian raptor
You know what is funny? When Liu Kang was telling his backstory of how he met Raiden and how he got the mark I was like, I wish I could watch that movie instead of this.
Jackie Chan for Bo Rai Cho please!!!
This is exactly what happened to me during this scene. That would've made for a much better story to follow, and one that actually meant something.
@@argelisplanchart9438 Or Sammo Hung
Liu Kang was so corny. Terrible cast
I thought that was a better option as a base for the story too!
Glad that people missed Johnny Cage.
I am too, actually.
The next movie will be based on Cage, and intro more characters, but not in a bad way! Lol
Look how they massacred my boy.😭
I didnt really miss him honestly kano was that good to me lol
Cole was a Tekken character that took a wrong turn and landed in Mortal Kombat
11:15 "won't spoil?" it's been playing on the trailer footage that his arms get popped for the past 10 minutes you've been talking 😂
Cole's arcana was literally plot armor 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh that had me weak. They literally created a fake character just so he could absorb hits as his power-up..... 😂
@@Geeandrezzi fuck so he doesn't exist in the game😶
@@logic2015 lmao no bruh
@@logic2015 no but they probably gonna add him, that’s just my take tho
@@miketiger6050 I'd honestly rather play as Art from the first movie.
Finding your arcana in the new Mortal Kombat is the equivalent of finding your animality from MK: Annihilation
Exactly, but with more plot holes added on.
FEEL YOUR ANIMALITY!
or in Cole's case:
FEEL YOUR PLOT ARMOR!
Kano got a bit of a build up to waking up his power. He was getting angry. His anger worked as a catalyst and it happened. And by accident actually. Clearly telling us he can't control it just like that and needs to learn to.
Cole? his family was in danger, and even tho it's cliche, it's still kind of world (Cassie Cage is under a similar situation in the last chapter of MKX, family and friends in danger, bad guy about to win and boom... got daddy's green stuff). I gotta admit tho, the fact that it gave him like an armor and then weapons... he meant to do that or does the arcana itself conveniently does things for the user? Now that I think of it, it wasnt that good neither.
But Sonya was def the worst. All she did was to kill Kano. We see the mark on her skin... Next scene she shows up in, she's already shooting ring projectiles off her arms, as if she somehow knew exactly how to do it.
And Jax... I mean, I don't plan to try to understand how the arcana would or should work at this point, but it literally gave him a tech enhancement upgrade. If it gave him metal skin(a mutation like that one X-Men character or the other guy from DC's Legends of Tomorrow) but that was just weird. Went Cyberpunk in a split second there.
Idk. I honestly wish I could stop seeing all those things and just enjoy the movie for what it is. That's how much I have wanted a new MK movie and want sequels to for a legit MK universe... I also want it to be good tho. Yet this movie ain't exactly that.
And it has tattoos. Lol.
Arcana was one of the dumbest plots in the movie.
What was Goro doing in that shed? Lol
When Jax gets his "arcana" it looks like he just pooped lol
I'm sure we can all agree Kabal looked AMAZING. And his dashing CGI looked legit. It could have easily looked horrible, but the special effects team did an amazing job. His costume was beautiful.
Was not expecting much for the plot, but I agree Kabal looked pretty damn cool
Kabal was great
Kabal sub zero and kano were literally the only good things about that movie
@@afromachado82 I think the first ten minutes of the movie with Hanzo killing those dudes was the best part of the movie
@@Slim0721 that's what made the movie so disappointing was it started off awesome lol
