Some of them I was glad and some I was like wtf they are doing this now? I was glad they included some of the characters they did because honestly I never thought they would be included in a movie.

I honestly don’t give a crap about what the MK haters say. The movie exceeded my expectations and was purely amazing. Yes, it didn’t follow the MK canon, but the canon is already so convoluted that it doesn’t matter anyway. Them making a clearer more straightforward storyline worked a lot better than the convoluted mess of the games canon
As a movie in itself it’s not bad, but that shit ain’t mortal kombat. Straw armor washed up MMA main character can take out Goro, prince of dragons and slayer of hundred of the finest warriors in the realms in a 5 minute bout ? Na man. Scorpion hell bent on revenge and one of the most powerful in the franchise needs help from Straw Armor Washed up MMA fighter to fight The 1st subzero? Na man. Straw armor Washed up MMA fighter now leads Liu Kang (the chosen one) Sonya, Jade and earth realm? Na homie. MK is what is it to people who look at as a popcorn good time. To fans that’s been rolling since day 1, it’s vomit.

You’ll see. You don’t need a new character to introduce MK to new people.
You need a good story with the OGs Which this one doesn’t have. But like you said. Mixed. It’s mixed for a reason.

I get what you’re saying, but straw armor man helped non MK fans understand the storyline and the world of MK better than just throwing you into the mix. My dad (who knows nothing about MK) was pretty much only able to get the whole thing because of straw armor man. He’s a new guy to introduce the brand to new people. But yeah, I do understand what you’re saying and agree with those parts being dumb, I just personally think the good outweighed the bad by a lot.

Saw the movie, I thought it was decent. 6 out of 10. Good for what it was, could have been worse.

Ultimately my biggest issue were the fights. Almost every fight is a montage with other fights-makes it choppy and hard to appreciate and follow the choreography- which was underwhelming considering the amount of legit martial arts talent in the cast.

Totally needed a johnny cage nut punch to goro. That was unexpected in the og movie and made me both laugh AND groin grab in solidarity pain.

None of these descriptions are making me itch to see this movie. Maybe just because there are more exciting movies coming later this year.
