Is there a discussion going somewhere? Half way in... Better than I thought it'd be, have some gripes, is Kano Ozzie Man?

Ah, I suck at big threads...
Overall, I enjoyed it. Definitely had quite a few beefs, but all in, I'd throw a solid 7 at it. Instead of harping on all the issues, I left entertained, a bit let down, and wanting more, overall I'd say a win.

I actually enjoyed it. From what I've read on the internet and Facebook, everybody seems to love Kano, some even going as far as to say he deserves his own movie, however, I found Kano to be very annoying with his childish insults. His one-liners just seemed forced into the movie for comedic value.
Most of the negative things I've heard about the movie are really just based off of the comparison to the original movie that came out in the 90's, which is unfair to this film, because most people enjoy the original because of the nostalgia.
Overall I enjoyed this movie. I would've liked for it to be a little longer so we can get more backstories on some of the other characters, but I have very little complaints about the movie.

I enjoy the original mainly due to nostalgia but that didn’t negate my ability to judge this movie off its own merits. I can definitely understand why it may have for some folks though. I gave it a 4/10 in the review thread. Fun schlocky action once in a while, otherwise cringey action/boring plot/awful editing/poor use of certain characters/bad dialogue.
I wanted to like it, the first scene is legitimately fantastic, but the movie overall did next to nothing for me. Totally understandable if someone digs this because they’re a hardcore MK fan though, I’m sure it’d be fun in that case

We loved it. Strong 7 from me as well. I didn't like Shang Tsung very much (he seemed more emo than anything.) Also Cole was okay but would have been better off sticking to all originals I think. Kung Lao was fantastic.
Read some stuff this morning that there will be 3 movies and rumors of Gal Gadot was Kitana but that might be wishful thinking?

I heard a lot of diehard fans of the original MK movie were let down by the newest release, also having a generic protagonist shoved in? Not sure how accurate the reviews are that I've watched, I'll have to see it. Although I can tell everyone the original Mortal Kombat film from the 90s is a lot of fun to watch, the sequel not so much.

Honestly it was better than expected, but the biggest issue was the generic protagonist. Kano was clearly the star though.
Need to rewatch this.

I did like the original MK movie, but it's not like it was some masterpiece or something, and the sequel was just horrendous, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It wouldn't be very hard for the new MK to at least be as good as the original.

New MK was a 5 or 6 for me. We didn't need the new guy. Not interested.
The most recent animated MK was terrible. That sucks considering the other one was pretty good.

Finally watched the 3 MK Legends movies while flying to and from AZ this past week.
I was ... pleasently surprised!
While all three were good in their own right, I feel like they started stronger and have lost a little per film. Kind of to be expected, but feels like they're building this to go wider/deeper.
I love how Snowblind introduced more of the later MK's with Kronica's Time Vault. I was wondering why they jumped ahead after Battle of the Realms, but now this gives more options.
I don't remember if they told us how/why Kenshi is blind in the game, but seeing his back story in Snowblind was also pretty cool.
I had no idea that these movies were all following each other as I thought they were seperate stories.
I haven't yet done homework on these, but I'm optimistic that they keep going.

The first Mortal Kombat (2021) was pretty disappointing, it started off strong and intriguing but was very meh overall. If it wasnt for personal connections to Mortal Kombat games in general, it’d be among the most forgettable action movies I’d seen in a long time
Bring on the sequel though, of course ill watch it

I've loved Karl Urban since Hercules and Xena. The dude has amazing range. I think he'd have been a better Kano but I think he can do Johnny Cage. I'm intrigued and excited for the casting.
