The new one wasn't terrible. It wasn't even bad. It's always tough to beat the orginal if the orginal is memorable after so many years.

There's just some silly glee in seeing Christopher Lambert as Raiden for no good reason.

2021 is better in pretty much every conceivable way except for the soundtrack and some of the casting choices.

So, in terms of Transformers, are we looking at 1986 or Bumblebee?

2021

It actually had some gnarly fights, unlike MKpg13 from 95.

It's up there with Manos and Super Mario Bros as a good-bad film.

It's the popular opinion in internet nerd culture, just like Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones suddenly being good movies now.

MK 1995 > MK 2021 >>>>>>>>>> Annihilation

The new MK kind of sucked honestly, but it was nowhere near as bad as Annihilation was.

It has been a long time since I saw 95 MK but I watched it a few times when it released back then, granted I was only like 15 years old.

It gets a pass for being significantly less terrible than most video game movies. Its not "good" but it's not so bad that it's a guilty pleasure, either.

ill say Lamberts raiden and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa Shang Tsung were actually awesome portrayals.

This, plus the original Lui Kang is pretty much my Lui for life. Same goes for Johnny.

Sonya/Jax/Kitana could be forgotten but the rest of the 95 original film is pure gold.

Can't vote or judge the new one since I haven't seen it yet, but I'll defend the original MK. It's fun. Yeah, it's corny, but it's fun. It's not Citizen Kane, but it's fun. I don't see why people feel the need to trash it. Been seeing it bashed more lately.

Haven't seen the new one but to be fair the 1995 version has to lose a few points for being a total rip-off of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon

The original doesn't lose points for anything. Art design, set design, costume design, cast, crew, AND the Director's vision of what a 2D game with (at the time) very limited (to no) source material made a BAD ASS film for the AGES without meaning to.

In fact: the only thing the new mortal kombat movie did right was embrace that mortal kombat can take place anywhere, not just in "arenas".

Agreed. This guy NAILED Tsang Tsung and at the time, Tsang was just some boss fight of some old ass mother fucker that can turn into other people. (MK1)

I am not trying to take pot shots are people likes... because you like what you like.

But Personally I don't understand how anyone can like that movie. At like as story it just falls apart so much.

Okay think about this.
Reptile could have beat Cole,Sony, and Kano on a one on one fight. It took all of them to beat him.
Subzero could have beaten everyone with one on fights.

With this in mind the whole idea of attacking these people before Mortal Kombat just seems stupid on the part of a villains .

The 95 film is the classic "bad-good" movie. It was cheesy and PG, but I enjoyed it...as a kid.

The 2021 film gets more points for me because I've always been a huge Sub-Zero fan, and he was badass in this one. Kinda wish he had his classic outfit on instead of the Shredder outfit.

It was campy and hammy, how could you say it was LEAGUES better when it was predictable what was going to be said in the next one liner based off of who was saying the one liner.

I could tell "it has begun", "your soul is mine" and "get over here" 100% to the moment it was about to be said by the actor.
