New Mortal Kombat movie - Page 2

BoggleKng · 06-09-2010, 07:15 PM

Looks like this one will be rated R.. or it won't be worth all the blood, gore and Fatalities..

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-09-2010, 08:12 PM

well this ain't your daddy's Mortal Kombat that's for sure. right after watching this, i'm now like wtf is this?

yeah i'll maybe give the first two movis this, they were bad, but at least they stayed true to the franchise and gave us familiar versions of the characters.

this, this don't give me familiar versions of the characters. not everyone is going to look at it and be like "oh yeah i can tell that's who that's suppossed to be". the characters look nothing like their gaming counterparts. and Johny Cage dies in it? wtf?

nah, if this is a taste of things to come, i can't get on board with this "reboot"

my point is why do it again. Johny Cage is a good character.

*The Stryker* · 06-09-2010, 09:33 PM

That's exactly why they kill Cage all the time. He's likeable so you actually give a crap when he dies.

*Koi* · 06-09-2010, 09:42 PM

I am so happy I can watch rated R movies now.... that looks way to epic. Scorpion and Reptile are way past cool.

What year are you from? Are you channeling Jaleel White as Sonic the Hedgehog?

Even though I know you're being sarcastic, I truly wish more people DID feel this way. I can not stand it when people try to fix things that are not broken and do not need to be changed. "Change" can end up being a far worse tragic/destructive mistake to any franchise than no change at all. I've seen "change" destroy far more often than it saves.

This still feels very weird me. A pitch that appears in the web probably before it's even shown to the prouction company they're trying to sell it to, made by people other than the owners, with good production values and familiar faces. It's kind of cool that the guys in charge obviously know about Mortal Kombat and love it enough to make this. It could be a cheesy but fun movie and I hope it gets made but with different character names and a different title. Because, as some of you have already said, this just isn't Mortal Kombat.

And I say this at the risk of sounding like an ignorant if someone comes up later and says that MK was originally an underground comic wich was noir and gritty, and it was later that Boon and Tobias sold out and agreed to make a more mainstream appealing videogame with fireballs, portals, gods and color coded ninjas, and what the hell do I know, I'm not really a fan, go back to playing with your kiddie games etc.

What WB should take from this short:
- Actors
- Interest and knowledge of MK
- Fight stunts
- Actual martial artists in the roles
- Michael Jai White (but tone down the acting, please)
- Jeri Ryan (but maybe not as Sonya)
- The way everything is hold together, making you want to see what happens next.

What not to take:
- Everything else.

Also I hope this tone is not used for a future Thundercats movie either. Someone should tell the Warner people that the Thundercats come from Thundera and Jaga is actually Obi Wan in disguise and to drop that would be a very bad thing.

(I'll read that interview now.)

Oy. You wish more people were close minded and scared of change. That's wonderful. Gotta love that kind of progressive thinking.

Nelson · 06-10-2010, 10:04 AM

OK, let's not get personal. Some people like change, some not. Let's leave it like that.

*sdp* · 06-10-2010, 10:09 AM

Well the new MK trailer is definitely not a realistic take. I have to admit that the trailer wasn't very impressive but it was definitely nice to see that it WAS MK and not this ****** take on it.

I have a feeling they leaked the video to get WB to see the approval. And sadly it might have worked, I really hope it doesn't though, his vision is terrible

Matt Mullins is an actual martial artist, in fact his "movie scenes" are from Kamen Rider Dragon Knight and promos he did for the show.

I'm pretty open minded to change actually and always give a chance and see the positive things on different takes of franchises that I like. Very rarely do I not like the changes because it is taking away an integral part of the franchise. Only other example I can think off the top of my head is the Turok reboot.
