Otherwise idk, the opening looked kinda crappy, the tattoo thing was interesting, and then it got crappy towards the end. Personally I'm not sure how they keep making the movies suck. Although the franchise's story is unnecessarily convoluted, the bullet point is that it's a fighting tournament with superhuman contenders. Simplest shit in the world. How the fuck do you mess that up? At any rate, I'm annoyed that instead of giving us Johnny Cage, we're getting a new character. It's fucking stupid. Maybe we'll see him in the sequel, provided that this movie doesn't bomb. CyborgSage00x0 posted... Not sure I like the protagonist not being Lui Kang, and is some rando. Also, where's Jonny Cage? Yeah, it's fucking stupid. And it's not even a matter that they wanted to cast an Asian in the lead, because Liu Kang already is Asian. Maybe they wanted to change the backstory and were worried about annoying purists (unlikely), or they just realized that he was the main character in 90s one and wanted to go a different direction. No Johnny Cage is a shit move regardless. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:950818106] in Mortal Kom...

Honestly the latest game with Kronika or whatever her name is, is probably the most coherent mortal Kombat story Ive ever come across and really made me appreciate the franchise even more. Just because I could follow a lot of the who and why of the universe. I mean Shao Khan being Khan of outworld has never even registered in my mind in my 20 or so years of playing MK till this story mode in MK11 (or was it 12?).

The only other video game movie I ever heard get mostly positive reviews back then was the first Resident Evil (ironically, also a Paul W. S. Anderson film). Sure, the second MK movie was ass, but he didn't have anything to do with that one.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh Ive got sure been burned in the past by thinking a trailer looked great but then the movie doesnt measure up. Max Payne is probably the worst offender I can recall, I thought the trailer looked great and it ended up being one of the worst movies Ive ever seen. Also pretty much every Zack Snyder film. It feels good to be excited for a movie though and this one is dropping on HBO so theres no real investment from me to see it, so Im gonna ride this hype train and if I crash then bury me where the largest piece lands lol --- YOU control the numbers of leches. -Sal Vulcano <cite>Mead posted [p:950910192] in Mortal Kom...

Zeus 02/21/21 3:10:02 PM #45:	ParanoidObsessive posted... The only one he was involved with was generally considered for years to be one of the very few video game movies ever made that was actually worthwhile. Take a look at this list, and try and see how many films you can find that were actually better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_video_games Even excluding SF (which was good because of camp, so I'm fine with overlooking it... and, honestly, I always enjoyed the Double Dragon movie even though it was pretty bad), it's a pretty fucking long list. Granted, most of the better ones came AFTER it (although not much came out before it), so there's a little leeway there. A lot of the other stuff that came later worked as a normal film, not just as a cash-in on a game. ParanoidObsessive posted... You may not like the original movie NOW, but it was extremely popular at the time. It really wasn't, or at least not on its own merits. And I'm trying to think of one MK fan I knew who wasn't let down by it. I didn't think it terrible at the time, but it was massively disappointing on almost every level. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:950914513] in Mortal Kom...

It's not that I think it was a great movie or anything. I don't think anyone would argue that. I think it's probably just because we were preteens/teenagers when we first saw it and were just excited to see these characters in a movie. Now we probably just remember it fondly because of nostalgia. I just watched it again yesterday and was pretty entertained at how cheesy it was. <cite>GunslingerGunsl posted [p:950919435] in Mortal Kom...
