I LOVE the original Mortal Kombat! I would have watched this reboot already, but my husband demanded I wait for him to get off work. I'll be back later with my review.

I'm on my way to watch it now. I have low expectations but that's ok cause I had an edible so it should still be fun. :b21

I thought it was pretty entertaining, not as charming as the first one but it was a fun watch. I didn't need the new character though, he was kind of boring. I loved seeing Liu Kangs dragon though and I thought they made Milia look the right amount of creepy and scary. I also loved the Flawless Victory moment. So my favorite things were moments from the video games. But my favorite character Katana was missing.

Ok. It started off good, even though this plot has been done a million times. Did Scorpion have to be so damn old? New character dude & his family, ummm really? He should’ve been in a super hero movie, not MK. Sonya, my fave character? Dry & long faced! Couldn’t take Jax serious with that voice. Mehcad looked the part, but no. Lui Kang looked like a damn trans Asian Michael Jackson. Kano & that Leprechaun ass accent & corny jokes. Mileena really?? Those rotten ass teeth weren’t even scary. I’m sorry, but I could go on & on. Subzero was the best thing about the movie & I’m not even a Subzero fan like that! His costume was dope, but I wish they would’ve made it more blue, because I definitely thought he was Scorpion at one point (I’m not even gonna talk about Scorp’s costume). It seriously was a let down. Was not worth the fµck!ng traffic I had to sit in, when I could’ve watched the bµllsh!t from in my damn living room. I surely made sure to get my money back.
i was gonna go to the movies but i had the 6gig file sitting on my laptop and it was expensive to see it. maybe i would have enjoyed it more in the theater

I just got done watching it, and if anyone seen the first 2 this one is a huge improvement, The epitome of " Yes girl give us nothing!"

Nonetheless

Who want these hands and feet??!!

I enjoyed the movie for what it was, but I'm still mad they hit delete on Johnny Cage and outsourced their white man and got Kano.

Didn't like that Scorpion couldn't handle Sub-Zero alone, but still Scorpion gave ol boy a hot girl summer.

Fight scenes were good and ticked every nostalgia box.

Weak casting for Liu Kang and some of the CGI was lame.

Yeah Liu was looking white washed, but my boy Kung Lao was there!

I was surprised at them casting a black chick for Melina.

You can pluck any Australian guy from the Outback and put him as Kano and we would be like "YUP"

I don't remember Kabal having any beef with anyone..so that surprised me.

I will watch it again because besides Sonic 2, MK was my first Video Game

The beginning is very similar to the cartoon Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.

As a 90's kid, the OG Mortal Kombat will always have a special place in my heart (even though it was nowhere near a masterpiece)

This movie was alright. The actors were a bit stiff but the fights were entertaining enough.

Few notes:
  • some of the special effects were questionable (Mileena's mouth, Raiden's eyes)
  • Kano was a fµck!ng nuisance!! I miss Johnny Cage
  • Liu Kang looks like he's 15 and it's making me uncomfortable
  • Cole Young has the personality of a cardboard box (but he's fine asf)

I enjoyed the fight scenes somewhat but yea big disappointment. It felt rushed. I liked the opening scene though.

Movie was mediocre imo. The best character was Sub-Zero, and the worse was Cole Young. Boring asf, and the fact they left out Johnny Cage for him? And as a Mileena fan, I was disappointed with her. And how the hell Kitana wasn't in there? The gore and special effects were good. Movie was 10x better then MK: Annihilation though. But this is a one time viewing for me 6/10

One word..... trash!

The fight scenes are decent. The movie is more nostalgic than anything.

I know that a movie is bad when I start rooting for the villains, at least they were giving me something to work with!

I was half way through when I blurted out where’s Johnny. This plot was meh. The action was great. I’m slightly disappointed. But they set the groundwork for a better one. Not happy what the did to Mileena. Kira a better be in the next and they better put some respect on her name!

It wasn’t bad, bad I’ll give it 3.5/5 .The fight scenes were good IMO. We didn’t need the new character story line MK has soooo many storylines we didn’t need to make up one. If they would have taken that out and focused more on the main characters it would have been better. Not having Johnny didn’t make sense to me. Johnny should have been in this one so we would have the foundation for Cassie. I liked Kabal cause he been there from jump and they never gave him no shine. Them exploring their powers was cute cause they never really did that. It was really just the story that fµcked it. It’s there but it’s not there. No Kitana? But like somebody said maybe this is the setup for the next filmed they can keep it going if they make sense. Story mode on the game gives a better illustration.

I liked Annihilation and I see y’all dragging it lol

I thought the movie was cheesy and very 90s. I had so much fun watching it.

I actually liked Liu Kang. He was vulnerable but could still whoop ass.

Cole was boring and I thought it was weird that he didn’t transform into Scorpion. Like what was the point of having him and his great great great great grandfather fighting together?? And the ages of his family was weird. His wife looked a lot older than him and he and his daughter had brother-sister chemistry.

I wish Kung Lao lived. He seemed like a cool dude and was one of the best fighters.

Kano was soooooo annoying.

Sonya and Jax felt like afterthoughts to me.

Subzero was eh.

It wasn’t a masterpiece but I enjoyed it. Would def watch a sequel
