Looks shitty. Jeri Ryan is too old for Sonya. Killing off Johnny in the trailer is a mistake. The black dude was a terrible actor. The only thing that worked for me was Scorpion.

Reptile also worked. Baraka and the black cop are terrible.
I'll watch it.

Yeah, I always thought Mortal Kombat was too soft and needed a dark re-imagining.  I'll watch it. |

Thinking about it though, the travesty of this movie will be if they end up following an uninteresting character like sonya. If the whole movie were scorpion? yes but I get the feeling we'll be stuck focused on liu kang again.

Johnny Cage punches men in the nuts as standard. Ergo, he must always die.

I wonder if the black cop dude (Jax) will start yanking people's arms off at some point.  |

"We had Johnny Cage working for us undercover. Yeah, the old action star. Because I figured, hey, a guy whose face has probably been seen by everyone in the world would make a great undercover cop. Inexplicably, he was somehow beheaded on his first case."
But yeah, a Mortal Kombat flick with a hard R rating? I'm down.

If you start to pick away at that, next you'll be asking how a deranged plastic surgeon became a martial arts expert, or why he didn't just stab Cage first thing.

Chaps, it's a mortal fucking combat movie. If you're watching it for dialogue, acting talent or plot, you're doing it wrong.

Christ, the '95 movie was perfect imo. What's next, a dark reimagining of SUPERMAN???

Looks like it was simply a pitch for someone's vision for a reboot. Not even sure how I feel about it. I may just not care enough about MK anymore. The only thing that made me giddy a little bit is hearing the "GET OVER HERE" after the fade to black. Well, and Cage dying was great. http://kotaku.com/5558850/that-mortal-kombat-trailer-jeri-ryan-explains"Okay, so... Mortal Kombat," she tweets. "It's not a game trailer. Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film."
Ryan said she did her role as a favor to a friend. "No idea yet what WB's reaction to it was," she adds. I can tell you what my reaction was: stoked. |

That was just completely stupid.
I'll probably watch it via one of the free networks at some point in the distant future. If it gets made.

I like how they explained everything with science. That's what made the Street Fighter movie such a hit. And it's DARK!!! Like Batman. So the two together should make it AWESOME, LIKE HOW UWE BOLL DESCRIBED THE DUNGEON SIEGE MOVIE AS A CROSS BETWEEN BRAVEHEART AND LORD OF THE RINGS!!!
Christ that looks stupid. It's trying way too hard to be taken seriously.

I mean doesn't a MK film have to be dark? It was the most violent and hardcore fighting game of its time. Seems like a pretty natural direction.

I'd be ok with violent and hardcore, if it was still apeshit weird. Giving Reptile a skin condition is like making vampirism a disease.
I didn't get past "Code Name Baraka" before turning it off. I imagine "Code Name Shang Tsung" as a stage magician who went insane and cut himself, and "Code Name Rayden" as an electrician who went insane and cut himself. And "Code Name Sub Zero" as a dude with fire extinguishers...who went insane and cut himself.

Yeah, that's what makes this whole thing insanely moronic. The looks and such are ok, but the premise is ridiculous. What, did they look at the existing Mortal Kombat movies and go, 'you know, what was really wrong with these was the Mortal Kombat universe/storyline/mythology/etc, let's take all that out.'?

Mortal Kombat should be dark but not "gritty" or "realistic." Mortal Kombat is stupid and makes no fucking sense, trying to force it to make sense is retarded.
I watched the trailer without sound, it looked like a boring generic martial arts movie with goofy characters. Yeah, it's more "serious" compared to actual Mortal Kombat but it's still goofy as hell compared to a real movie.

I imagine "Code Name Rayden" as an electrician who went insane and cut himself. Raiden’s not going to be an electrician with lasers on his forearm or anything like that. Lol. |
