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

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.

Urban isn’t a good casting choice as the Johnny Cage the way we know him imo, but if they put some creative license into effect and change Cage from the younger, hotshot martial arts actor to an older, washed up martial arts actor, I think it could work really well. I have 0 expectations that MK2 does that though, considering how bad the first movie was.

Your ass theJaw. The first reboot was great for a popcorn flick. No way it would've ever won any awards, though. I agree with Karl urban, though. He will be interesting to see. He's a decent actor. But as Johnny cage? I agree with you and would love to see a pissed off old man who doesn't care

Thanks for noticing my buns. But yah, although it would be an example of typecasting for Urban to make him the grumpy, washed up character (Butcher from The Boys and all) I think that's the best route to take with the character at this point. It'd be a breath of fresh air compared to any other iteration of Johnny Cage.
And now I direct my ass to YOUR ass lordly_llama, the first MK was trash cabbage. I LOVED that first scene with Scorpion and Sub Zero, but the rest of the movie almost felt like a parody without the humor. But to each their own, I'll for sure give the sequel a fair chance.

He does rule hard. I loved him in Chronicles of Riddick, and just love that movie in general despite most folks hating it. I still need to watch Dredd, I hear that's a good one.

Yeah I recently added Dredd to my watch list, both the original and the newer one. I haven't seen the original since I was a kid, with my dad.
I didn't know he was in Chronicle of Riddick. I actually saw that in the theater way back when it released. It came out while my wife and I were dating, so we went to the movies all the time. I didn't even know who he was back then. I think it was Star Trek that really put him on my radar.

Like you said, theJaw, to each their own. But, "the first MK was trash cabbage" I disagree with. As someone was saying, maybe I am just on a nostalgic trip. It's not the greatest action movie, but for a reboot of Mortal KOMBAT, it rules. Way better than I was expecting. I think most everyone would agree that MK: Annihilation was hot poopy trash cabbage, though.
P.S. Thank you for noticing my buns, as I did yours.

The 1995 MK was amazing for what it was. I still will watch the hell out of it. The sequel was crap. The newest one was great but the new lead character was forgettable. Loved the scenes with Scorpion. Hiroyuki Sanada is a badass.

The reboot was good. Not great. Didn’t care for the new character but since the bar has been set so low by most video game movies, it was decent. Some odd character choices, but overall stayed true enough to the source material for me to sit through it. The 95 movie was good for what it was going for, and we can all agree Annihilation sucks. I do want to see the sequel, and I’m optimistic about MK12.

Maybe I need to rewatch it… that first time, I thought it was truly awful. The ending smelled like my own piss.

Nah it was trash. Opening scene was good
The rest is only mildly satisfying depending on how much you love the MK franchise
As a movie, even as an obvious popcorn blockbuster type movie, it was pretty crap

Yah that’s what I was thinking.
95 MK however- would watch until the day I die and I’d die happy.

Karl Urban is amazing. I absolutely love him as Butcher in The Boys.

I am looking forward to the sequel. I am hoping Noob Saibot will make an appearance since sub zero's body poofed toward the end. Noob is one of of my favorite characters. I wonder if they'll bring in Cyrax, Cinder, Smoke and the rest of the cyborgs, or whatever. Cyrax is another cool character, I think.

Wonder how real this is. Given what happened in MK11, does kinda make sense.
