Memorable, crazy movie
best movie i've ever seen.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
I may be 17 but I am a big fan of mortal kombat, loved the games and then liked the films, however I must say that you guys need to stop looking at this film as a remake, look at it as a brand new film. The concept is great, having the same old storyline would just be too boring and predictable whereas by bringing in a whole new concept for the film they are able to play with the storyline a lot more. And about the whole fantasy element, I would like to see a slight fantasy element but not as much as in the previous films or the games as that is too much fantasy, but the trailer doesn't mention any fantasy but then again it doesn't mention lack of a fantasy element, you really cant be sure unless someone actually does make a full film out of it. They chose a great actor for the role of jax as he is so bad ass. And as for the other characters I think I would enjoy watching the film and trying to figure out who is who before you are told, it would be interesting to see how the characters came to be. So again look at this as a brand new film, a "rebirth" of the film ;)
OK this is my first review first of all i'm a big m.k. fan,have all the games,and when i heard that this is happening i was more than excited.... so this movie looks cool at first when i saw it,but after thinking about it this movie will suck.why you ask 1.this director hasn't any skills in this sort of movies-look him up- 2.this is the real reason why will it suck,hes trying to make this movie to look more realistic and by realistic i mean he will cut the origins of the the characters by trying to make them from ''this''world.as every fan knows there are realms in the game and he wants to skip that and make them from one realm i mean have u heard the reptile ''skin decease'' wtf sub zero cyborg,and i cant wait to hear what will he say about kano,and liu kang if they appear in this movie so think about it and think how this is a bad idea to make it like this i'm sure not so hyped now this is my opinion,and u can agree with it or disagree if u want
I think this is what the MK franchise needs to generate some more interest in its direction for live-actions. MK Conquest was good but due to costs it only ran for one season. Interesting cast that's been assembled here (Michael Jai White, Ian Anthony Dale, Matt Mullins, Lateef Crowder), seems more believable than the first. MK Annihilation should just be forgotten about. MK 1 had cheesy SFX as well which didn't really add much to the fantasy aspect of it. And I'm sure the producers of this trailer aren't completely resigned to one direction as far as creative input is concerned. It could turn out that there is some whole underlying "Supernatural Element". What I would like to see and I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but this meets "Big Trouble in Little China". Shang Tsung could be this innocent enough "mob boss" who is actually like Lo Pan, a centuries old sorcerer on a quest to rejuvenate his immortality. This could work, we just have to get on here like we are now, and give these guys more ideas to work with.
This 8 minute short movie is 10 times better than the two stupid originals combined.Mortal Kombat brought into the real world. It worked for Batman and it definitely works here. If you haven't seen it yet go to you tube and watch it now! Michael Jai White is the perfect fit for Jax. The characters are more horrifying than they were in the video game. This is the movie I wish I saw when I was 12. Mortal Kombat was built on blood and gore and that is something that both the original movies lacked. In fact I don't remember seeing any blood in either movie. They should've been rated G.Mortal Kombat Rebirth would be perfect for the die hard fans who grew up playing the video games back in the early 90's.I hope to God that this is made into a full length movie.
