Mortal Kombat (2021)

I finally saw this. I have the Blu Ray but had not gotten to it. Have not read or watched reviews cause I wanted to see it first. Thought it was great.

It exceeded my expectations. I was surprised to see Kabal and Nitara. She didn’t appear until Deadly Alliance I think. She’s doesn’t do much but they used a lot from the games. In good way.

I guess Shang Tsungs “henchmen” could have been almost anyone but everything was well put together is what I mean.

I remember people said the trailers looked generic but it’s definitely not once you see it. Having gore this time was nice but glad it was not overboard. All the special effects looked good but Goro’s cgi could have been a little better.

The Cole argument is stupid. It adds to the rivalry of Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Off the top of my head I can’t remember how the games tell it but do people genuinely think they purposely made Cole to replace Johnny Cage to be Woke? I feel silly even typing this.

Some game characters are actually copies/related. Why can’t Scorpion’s son be a main character? It’s not strictly about him. Once he he meets Sonya it really becomes about MK I think. It’s not “The Cole Show”.
