The visual effects made me think it was going to absorb and reflect back attacks but yeah it was literally just armor.

I feel the movie has too much fan service jam packed into it for me to even take it seriously.

Pretty bad when the first mortal kombat movie is STILL the best video game adaptation to date.

His portrayal was better here than in the first movie -- he actually got offense in this fight -- but it still left a lot to be desired.

Your suggesting Johnny Cage is a descendant of Hanzo the ninja?

No one likes Nitara / Reiko etc. It's clear they were chosen to die unceremonious deaths with as little screentime as possible.

The hell you're talking about Goro in the 95 movie was a beast killing off other fighters. It only with Cage that he got no offense.

Way better than jobbing to Cole.

That was really my only issue with the movie, I liked the rest of it.

Also while I don't appreciate Goro jobbing....that is what he has been doing since the first game lol he jobbed in the old movie too.

The only time he hasn't was in Scorpion's Revenge and the MKX comics.

That had no bearing on the plot and was likely a last minute rewrite.

More like he was a jobber who took out a bunch of lesser jobbers. The only thing beastly about 95 Goro was his face.

It's better to lose a single fight and make a good account of oneself than it is to have a winning streak which ends as badly as Goro's did. I get that they had trouble getting the costume to work, but surely they could've had Johnny Cage getting thrown from off screen or something.

Not at all considering we already knew part of the story from a long time ago when the cast choices became available

The story still would've played the same without the revelation. He's hunted because he's one of the chosen ones. He teams with Scorpion because they have a mutual enemy. They could've just as easily said he was Johnny Cage's half-brother.

No, it not. He literally jobs a guy with plot armor.

You're really telling me it's more humiliating to a competitive fight because your opponent picks up a weapon and hits you with it than it is to be lured into an ambush and make no accounting of yourself whatsoever?

From the way you use it, neither do you.

A jobber is not the muscular henchman who beats the hell out of the hero before going down to defeat. A jobber is the unnamed bastard who gets little to no offense.

Fine. Throw a fit. Pretend that was a bad loss for Goro.

But go troll somewhere else. I'm tired of humoring you.

It was a bad loss for Goro. Hes the Champ, the whole reason they've won 9 tournaments in a row and he gets punked by the power of Plot just moments after showing up. He should have been the Penultimate fight with multiple people working to take him down. Not a washed up MMA fighter.

He didnt Job, but he didnt hold up as well as he should have/could have. He didnt even get a fatality.

It's not clear if he won 9 tournaments in this movie. Shang Tsung treats him like he's new to the party.

True, but he still there to make the OC look strong. Let not mention him making the plan on how to work together and beat them.

Animatronic Goro was cooler than CGI Goro.

I liked the new movie.. The sets were cool.. Kano was amazing.. Jax was cool.. Fights were generally cool.

Critical nerd side says it was rushed and we needed another half hour to explore the characters. Very much relied on our prior attachment to said characters.

I very much did not care for Liu Kang or Shang Tsung.. Perhaps partially because as a kid I adored both actors in their '95 roles. Liu Kang just seemed like a neutered bitch ans Shang Tsung wasn't half as intimidating as he was in the original. Sonya was better than Annihilation Sonya but not '95 Sonya.

I'm willing to bet the 2nd movie will be considerably better with an actual tournament, fan feedback and I'm assuming we'll see more of Scorpion.

Yeah chances are it was Bi Han that was the tournament winner considering he was treated as Shang Tsung's ace fighter.

Yeah. He was way stronger in this movie then basically all the other characters. We haven't seen much from Shang Tsung but I bet he could probably take him, too.
