    Yes this are rebooting this thing....kinda excited about it, only because the guy from the web series is behind it and he seems to have a strong passion for the film. He also said it will have nothing to do with the web series.

    What could make this thing more exciting: a very hard R rating....

    I wish him luck and an R rating is a good start.

    I agree about the rating. I really hope this is dark

    I don't want another beefed up Power Rangers type of flick...

    Can't wait for the DVD/BLURAY to come out and that this being made into a NEW movie by the same filmmaker/writer, it should be really cool to see how this ends up...

    Looks like it could be fun.

    Is Cole an MK character in the new game? I've havent played the latest one.

    Cole is an entirely new character set to debut in this movie. In essence, he is Alice in "Resident Evil". That's enough to give me pause about this whole thing.

    Damn, I was hoping it was something from a game.

    This looks insanely fun. Hammy acting, over the top dialogue, mindless violence, fatalities, being R rated.. Count me in Although, I'm gonna need a full length MK theme to properly judge how this movie is going to be.

    Exactly this! What other than this could anyone be expecting from a MK movie? It is 100% mimicking the tone of the games it is based off of.

    Credits are literally rolling as I type this, and IMO, you got two out of three. Totally mindless, very violent, but man, what a slog. After the strong opening in feudal Japan setting up the rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero, it goes downhill really fast and pretty much stays there. Lots of fan service, lots of CGI gore, some decent if unspectacular choreography, but zero characterization and the writing is IMO even worse than the original MK flick from '95, which, all kitschy nostalgic value that movie might have notwithstanding, was pretty sub-standard itself. The pacing is all over the place as well. Also...


    Spoiler...
    I still don't quite understand what Cole's unlocked power is supposed to be. He develops a magical hide that not only resembles Black Panther's vibranium suit (with all the lines and cross-stitching to boot, though it's gold-ish instead of black) but also seems to have the same ability to absorb force and then redirect it. But no effort at all is made to explain exactly what it is, and its effects are inconsistent.



    For me, the best thing about the flick is Aussie actor Josh Lawson as Kano, and even though he's playing your typical foul-mouthed, tough-talking arrogant prick, it's so amusing to me to see him as this kind of character after only having ever seen him as the dorky pharmacist on the sitcom "Superstore." Between that show and this movie, he clearly has range as an actor.

    Anyway, as far as big HBO Max premieres go, they're now 1 for 3 for me this year (between this, Kong vs Godzilla and the Justice League Snyder Cut, which is the only one I actually enjoyed to any real extent). But if all you're hoping for is the aforementioned digital splatter, a bit of fan service, a very clear intent to establish its own MCU-style film universe, truly awful dialogue and characters written so thin they're nearly transparent, you'll get all that and less. A huge swing and a miss, IMO. CGI Goro isn't too bad, though. 3/10

    I wanted to like it. I remember getting the first game for Christmas of '93, and I played that thing for weeks on end. Same with MK2 and 3. So though obviously a fan of the games, I also enjoyed the original movie despite its many flaws (and what is now some terribly dated CGI). I saw that one opening day, too. Suffice to say I went into into this one with an open mind and tempered hopes. But was still wholly disappointed.

    But -- and I'm not spoiling anything by saying this -- this flick very intentionally sets itself up for sequels, so while this wasn't the MK movie I would have hoped for, maybe one of the sequels will be. Fingers crossed.

    I'll give more thoughts on the podcast when we record it this weekend, but this was the best Mortal Kombat piece of media since 1995. The intro was stellar, it had solid choreography and the budget was faithful to the look of Mortal Kombat. It was violent, ridiculous and stayed true to the games. I thought it was really good overall.

    It did dip in the middle. It definitely got slow and I was waiting for some more fighting. When the fighting did happen though, boy was that fun. I wasn't a huge fan of the new character and felt like his powers were a bit tacked on. I thought the climax wasn't too satisfying either, but it did give more of that action I was craving. It was definitely over the top in the best way.

    I feel like if (and when) this gets a sequel, it will be 100x better than this. This is definitely the origin story of the franchise. I can't wait to see what they do from here.

    7/10
