Eh.
Kano is a highlight, but the movie itself is extremely forgettable
And is still one of the few actors there worth watching, along with Kano.
The first seven minutes are great! They're also available for free on YouTube:

Uhhh...Sub-Zero is pretty cool in it, no pun intended. That's all of my positive notes
The first movie starts and ends with some decent action. It also has literal plot armor and a terrible self-insert protagonist. Im very into some of the casting for the sequel and will give it a shot
It's terrible. I don't think there is one redeeming element. Even Kano was fucking lame.
It says Zach Cregger is producing, which is either wild, or a typo. I think they conflated that producer list with some other movies at the studio.
It's got a legit decent first act, and a campy and fun third act, but the second act can be tough to get through. Reeks of executive meddling.
Speculation and spoilers and conspiracy theorizing for those who have seen it:
The whole "unlock your Arcana" subplot feels like a Producer's note taken to the extreme, and I suspect it was not part of the original script. In the movie, we see Kano get his eye gouged during the fight with Reptile. Perfect place to introduce the metal laser eye, right? But, no, doesn't happen. Instead his eye is now just magic arcana like everyone else's abilities.
I highly suspect that "unlock your Arcana" subplot was a studio mandate when some suit decided there needed to be a unifying explanation for everyone's abilities or else the audience would be confused.
Cole Young is the least likeable character in Mortal Kombat, both game and movie series.
Hsu Hao is more likeable.
Hsu Hao is more likeable.
Extremely mediocre as a film and a bad adaption imo. Mileage may vary.
If you have access to it already through a service you sub too then sure why not..but I could never recommend someone pay extra money like renting to see it
I feel like they could pull a Highlander 3 and just ignore the first movie mostly and make it more of a traditional MK movie. Like with a tournament. And no Cole.
Holy shit! Kano is played by the pharmacy dude on Superstore? lmao
frustratingly mediocre and somehow a worse/less faithful adaptation than a movie that came out 25 years ago.
Thank God Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa wasn't Shang Tusing in that movie. The man got the right proper place in MK11.
Sub Zero is the highlight of the movie, Joe Taslim is on another level, for him alone perharps, everything else is mediocre to straight out bad.
It does not hold a candle to the original, this is the real deal:
I really hope they retcon the stupid idea of how fighters get theor power. Dumbest idea ever created. Who really did come up with this? How Ed Boon accepted insanity?
And didn't Sonya splash something in Kano's eye and it caused it to malfunction, sparks an all? It has been a while so I might be misremembering, either way the Arcana shit really brings the movie down.
The only true bright spots are the opening and the bizarre choice they made with Kabal.
Hell yeah.It does not hold a candle to the original, this is the real deal:
Relax!
Relax,
When you wanna go do it
I say yes... If it is free to watch lol. Some decent scenes in there and Kano makes the movie IMO. Sub Zero and Scorpion are cool. Other than that it is forgettable and don't even get me started on the barn scene.
It's ok. The fatalities are really cool.
The intro, subzero and Kano are the highlights. Yhe rest of the movie is rather forgettable.
There's no way it can be worse than the previous movie, I refuse to believe that!
It's pretty bad, but it's not a total misfire. There are occasional cool scenes. Mostly bad though.
I mean, that could honestly just be strategic Halloween placement. MK isn't horror, but it is full of violence and monsters.
