Kano literally had like 5 lines that were funny. He didn't do that much. Sub-Zero carried the movie imo Edit: haha pass me a fukkin egg roll, imo his best part was being leg sweeped cause that was true to the game. If he did a Kano ball rhat would've been cool but prob would look dumb as fuck

[@ВалентинЖданов-р9е]

- The sequel is already being filmed! (Ryan Reynolds even offered his candidacy) - The transformation of Jax's prostheses is explained by the fact that they are made of unearthly material - Kung Lao was specifically killed so that Liu Kang had a motive for revenge on Shang Tsung - Kitana and Jade were supposed to appear in the film, but the budget did not allow (they only set aside an Easter egg in the Temple in the form of Kitana's fan) - The vampire Nitara, in principle, did not play a particularly important role in games (this I tell you as a fan of the series) - Mileena will most likely be resurrected by Shang Tsung in the Pits of Flesh...As it was in the games (for it is not by chance that the bodies of Bi-Khan and Goro were moved because Bi will become a Noob Saibot and Goro is the prince of the Shokan race)

I'm a sub zero guy myself, so I was stoked he was a major kharacter, and they showcased him perfectly. This movie did exactly what it needed to do. It gave us the rated R mortal kombat we all wanted as kids. I agree, I didn't like Cole all that much, but everyone else was kool. Kano was hilarious.

Jax was in both Mortal Kombat movies. He has a small cameo in the first movie, and he's one of the main characters in Annihilation, played by a different actor.

[@hellbillyjr]

We can break down the movie and point out its flaws, but overall, I feel like it grounded MK enough. I'm excited to see the sequel and the actual tournament. Cole's story resembles Takeda's in game, but I can appreciate a movie original kharacter. A little disappointed my boy Reptile got bodied so early, but Noob Saibot being teased was cool, just hope Ermac makes an appearance soon

[@phousefilms]

Truth. Reptile is my favourite character, but he's usually the one who gets the most screwed over in game and adaptation, little more than hero fodder as a filler villain(in "Scorpions Revenge", for example.)

[@thatonkgau5221]

I love Johnny Cage but I kinda like Cole Young he's a welcome and great addition to the franchise

[@maxdonahue210]

Cole is an anchor character. He gets everything explained to him so the audience gets exposition. They could’ve done him better but what’s done is done

Was never a big MK guy growing up but this movie was still cool to see. My favorite fighting series is still Tekken and that probably won't change

[@RckrGrl2010]

We need to give all the credit to the guys playing subzero and scorpion. How crazy good and skilled they are at fighting still and fast. Dude playing subzero in his 60s and I read they had to ask him to slow down because he was moving too fast for the camera

[@oIRONITEo]

My problem is it's a movie about a tournament, that never happens lol. Also Cole was a requirement for the studio as an audience substitute. My problem with that is Johnny Cage was always that in the games, so he wasn't necessary.

[@Endru85x]

Yep, in Mk95 Johnny was the guy that audience feel connected to cause he did not treat anything seriously and had that autoirony touch. Cole is boring and unnecessary as fuck.

[@laticiadavis8627]

I've always liked sub zero and Kung Lao I liked how they incorporated each characters fatalities. But I wasn't expecting Cole to be scorpion's ancestor I was expecting the new competitor to be a female ,because raden saved the baby girl in the beginning, they never told us how many years later this tournament happened or what happened to the little girl.

[@YoGeeBear317]

The main thing I had a problem with was Scorpion trying to talk to Cole in Japanese. Dude was an orphan from Chicago. What's the odds that he spoke Japanese? Yet he just somehow comprehends Scorpion. Lol

[@luisz222]

Karl Urban from the boys has been cast as Johnny Cage and honestly I fucking love that. I thought this was one of the better video game movies and I’m exited for the sequel. They showed love to the games with all the fatalities and signature moves. Seeing fatalities in live action was amazing and I hope we see more. I think the sequel needs to actually have the tournament and have scorpion be in it for more than 5 minutes.

[@mr.vesper5659]

Josh Lawson as Kano was Definitely a highlight of this movie. Stole the whole movie for me

[@snukastyle]

I read that the reason Johnny Cage wasn't in the movie was that they only wanted one comedic character this time, and went for Kano.

[@harleyjackson3708]

I love how Shang Tsung isn't playing the role the way the original did unless he has to say the "Souls are mine" line, then he tries SO hard to sound like the original. You can tell they made him say that, too.

[@lunneytoonez20]

😂😂😂 best intro ever! I was so hype for this movie and it didn’t disappoint. This reminded me of being a kid and playing the games with my dad. Cole was meh but Subzero and Scorpion were epic! Would love to see more Scorpion but great intro for a new movie series.

I love Kung Lao for personal reasons. Then in Mortal Kombat X they gave us Kung Jin, who I loved, but also hated. Loved to hate. But for me, it's always been the ladies. Primarily Kitana. But also, Skarlet, Tanya, Jade, and Mileena. And then came Cassie and Jacquie.

I never understood why some people hated this movie. It was so good! The action, the lore, and pretty faithful to the source material. So much better than the original cheese fest.

[@Endru85x]

You serious? Action in Mk2021 is badly executed with exception of Sub Zero/Scorpion fights.Way Below the level of fights in movies like Raid. Poor choreography.and too much cuts. Bland characters, uninspired scenography. Goro defeated like bitch by a guy who has literal plot armor and is boring like fuck. Arcane makes no sense. I prefer cheese fest with Lambert haming it up to 11 then watch boring Raiden in Mk2021. I played Mk games fore than 20+ years and i am dissapointed by this movie.

[@tipist420]

My biggest problem with this movie was that they have so many characters from the game that they could've chosen to focus on and make the main character, but instead they created someone entirely new and gave him the lamest power possible. You can get beat up a lot and keep fighting? Wow, you made his power literally just a physical manifestation of Plot Armor.

[@dahoodie3158]

Yeah I wouldn't even of mind if they made him smoke or something and jus changed the backstory if they couldn't think of sum better

[@YoungClarke]

The actor who played Kano in the first movie is the reason Kano is Australian, originally Kano was Japanese American but he just decided he wanted to do a Australian accent for the movie (he wasn’t even Australian, if I remember right.)

[@TheSchaef47]

"Who's this guy? Where's Liu Kang and Sub Zero?" EXACTLY

I played as Liu Kang. But once he was first introduced in Mortal Kombat 3, I played always as Stryker.

[@pork-chopexpress991]

I remember playing this game a long time ago on my Sega Genesis…always tore it up with Scorpion

[@Do0msday]

Overall I thought it was a fun movie and I loved how they made sure it was bloody and full of gore. I want a Mortal Kombat movie to be over the top and crazy. I absolutely loved the portrayal of Sub-Zero and Scorpion. I thought the casting and performances were perfect. Jax was ok, Sonya was ok, Kung Lao and Liu Kang were really good. Kano was all personality and I loved that performance. But my goodness I think Cole was the most boring character possible. I don't even blame the actor because the character in general was really boring and plain. He was supposed to be the "every man" normal type who somehow got caught up in all of this. He was the audience's vehicle for getting to know what was going on and I think it fell really flat. I would have been perfectly fine just going from character to character and watching them learn on their own rather than have them group up with a random guy that is essentially the main character. My only other complaints were that the CGI was pretty inconsistent. There were times when it was ok, but some times (such as with Goro) it really looked bad. I feel this movie was in the middle because it could have been really good, but could have been worse. It was fun, but flawed. And I'd say my favorite fighting game would be Mortal Kombat 3 on Sega Genesis. It was the game all my friends were into and learning the fatalities was the best way to get respect from everyone at school.

[@kaylakurosaki4873]

If they taken the plot from the old and revamped it in a way that would have been perfect. I wish scorpion was in it way more then almost till the end. Cole was a filler character that wasn't needed. Raiden here seemed like a dick. Overall it was a one time watch for me.

[@alarrim29574]

I don’t understand why they couldn’t just have Johnny be the audiences vehicle for learning about the tournament. He has already filled that role in the games. Or they could have had Sonya do that. Instead they made up a shitty pointless boring character whose power is plot armor

[@fighterx9840]

What confused me is that according to MK Lore, Bi-Han didn't kill Hanzo's wife and son or Hanzo's clan, that it was Quan Chi that killed them while Bi-Han only killed Hanzo. And since when did Hanzo have a second child?

[@gualacheesesteak]

Would've been cool to have had an actual tournament in this movie.

My favorite thing about this film (which was exactly what I hoped it would be) is that every single character has this deep and mostly dark explanation of how they found their Akana. . . . .and then Kano be like "and I wanted the egg role. . . . . .BUT HE WOULDNT LET ME HAVE IT!"

Scorpion and kung Lao my dudes 🔥

[@harleyjackson3708]

Some explanation on Jax. The power (arcana) takes a weakness and basically augments it to make it a strength. Liu Kang's desert-dwelling lifestyle gave him fire powers. Kung Lao has that hat, the power took advantage of that. Kano's eye was next to GONE, so the power gave him a laser. Cole sucks as a fighter, better give him armor. Jax's metal arms needed the assist. It takes an emotional response to activate, from what I've seen. They all get their powers after some shit hits their fan.

I enjoyed the movie, the opening fight between Sub Zero and Scorpion was great. Like a lot of people, I wasn't a big fan of the main character being someone that's not part of the established Mortal Kombat universe. Maybe the avoided using one of the canon characters to try avoiding upsetting the fans when their favourite character wasn't the lead, and/or used him as an audience surrogate (or something like that), but it just breaks the connection with the source material when they add a new character. I'd still be down for a sequel. It was pretty good as far as video-game adaptations go, it could have been much worse. Just look at the Mario Bros. movie... O_O

[@christinehorror8178]

Both Hiroyuki Sanada and Joe Taslim are genius casting, I just wish that Scorpion in particular got more screentime. The 2021 movie doesn't top the '95 jam, but it isn't a total waste.
