It’s not a movie.
It’s just another bland, soulless mass product that’s primarily aimed at the Chinese market.
Now that WB is the only real studio releasing big movies, it really shows what a joke of a studio they’ve become during the last 5 years.
Not that they didn’t release crap before that, but at least there was something like a good Mad Max, Harry Potter, Matrix or Lord of the Rings film somewhere to be found in their slate.
It would seem Villeneuve and Nolan are the only real talents that are left at the studio.
For nearly every other film they make, they seem to think that appealing to the lowest common denominator will give them the biggest return on their investment.
I.e. the action scenes are more important than the story or the characters, and the scale needs to be huge, even if it looks tacky and fake.

3/10

@jordyep I had to say you're wrong about the Chinese market part. Chinese have no recognition of the Mortal Combat franchise whatsoever, since the games never made it to the market. If you said so based on the amount of Asian faces you saw in it, we all know what that means.

@iken it’s not even necessarily about casting Asian actors, though I will say they should’ve gone with Asian actors that were a lot better than the ones they ended up with. What I said about the Chinese market mostly has to do with the last sentence, i.e. the fact that everything is dumbed down and soulless.

@jordyep Yeah, watch a good American movie like "Skyscraper." Art at the highest level.

@jordyep This film is for the fans of the video game, and by the trailers we saw, we know what kind of a movie it will be. It caters to the fans of the franchise and they made that choice, not for the critics.

@helmheim You're right, they chose to make a product, not a movie.

@jordyep <br /> &gt;that’s primarily aimed at the Chinese market" <br /> <br /> A quick Google search will tell you this movie isn't even released in China. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293429/releaseinfo<br /> All the filthy load of money they are getting there is from the illegal downloads, which is, surprisingly, zero.<br /> But truth probably doesn't matter because China bad.

Overall, the movie was kinda bad. It has some good easter eggs (tho some of them are nonsense), but also too many cheesy-one liners noding the games (you know, "flawless victory", "fatality", "finish him"), kinda force them into it just to look cool. The acting was meh (except for Sanada, who seems the only one who can actually act); the story was rushed and without too much development. I liked they included some less-known characters like Reiko, Kabal and Nitara. The only cool thing is that the keep their promise on the bloody/gore side, so at least we had that. No more than a 5 over 10

Better than all the others. This was great, a lil bit of fan service and Easter eggs but its a common almost a must nowadays. Nothing felt ridiculous or out of place, this is a great reboot. I hope the next installments just get better.

Campy acting and cheesy dialogue, but it's damned entertaining with the action and when the main theme song kicks in you just can't help but get hyped up

Dumb fun. You can tell how the cast and crew are fans of the property. This is also targeted at fans, since they don't really try to explain things. This definitely requires you to check the game wiki (or to have played a ton) to understand what's going on.

Very cheaply made. Terrible acting and story. As usual, trailer is better than the movie.

@brilpoetsdoekje Surprised the director was that honest why Johnny Cage wasn't in the movie. Could've just had some excuse, but nope, he left him out because he didn't feel comfortable with a white character in the cast.

Just finished watching it, 6.5/10 for me. It was interesting but I guess I was too excited to see what they make of the movie, not a solid hollywood production but it was good. You'll like it but get bored at some points. could have been better
