[@dereknight861]

The difference being that the fight scenes in the first one made sense. They’re plot centric being matches in a TOURNAMENT. There is NO tournament excuse in this one. Not to mention the fighting is subpar and basic, having a minimum of three punches and two kicks each. AND THEY ARE FAT WASTES OF TIME!!

[@Poever]

Did they not have contracts that obligated them to be in a sequel? That’s usually the case in Hollywood contracts

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Poever Normally actors can turn down certain roles in their contracts but will end up in another movie that's not of their choice. That's how Sean Connery ended up in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - and he was so unhappy the movie was delayed through fighting with the director and he actually blames it for being his last movie ever! 😂😂😂 Alot of actors end up in bad movies because they turned down say 3 movies and have to do the 4th.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Stefano Pavone It depends on the contract you sign I guess (small companies or Disney would be different obviously), but if you're a big time actor then you'd need a movie company you trust to have a few movies lined up for you to keep the cash flowing. Good movies hopefully 😂 You just have to be careful you don't end up black listed by Hollywood - yes that is a thing. Stunned the heck out of me. Or worse - type cast and the work dries up.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Stefano Pavone agreed

[@mickeycameron3945]

People say Doug is ignorant about MK, but look at the random shit they threw into this movie. Like that stupid twist of Raiden and Shao Kahn being brothers. Or Shinnok being their dad. Or Jade being a bad guy and trying to seduce Liu Kang. Or Jade being Asian, for that matter. She's supposed to be black. Doug sure got more right than these writers did!

[@LighttoneGryphStar]

The funniest part of about that. It took me a few years to realize, holy shit Shinnok was in this movie. Heck, you literally get barely two lines about the dude's name and they are so quick that I actually only caught it because I just happened to have the subtitles on one time.

[@DaGameGuy]

So going by this movie, Raiden and Shao Kahn are brothers, both sons of Shinnok, which means Centerion is their aunt, and Kronika is their grandmother. What a fucking family picture.

[@mayormccheese2641]

To clarify- Sub-Zero and his younger brother were both in the Lin Kuei clan. They both had long and had to pronounce names, long story short, and decided to go by the name of Sub-Zero. Scorpion was killed, and then came back as a skeleton demon. But this new Sub-Zero is a brother of the original. It's the same storyline in the games.

[@loneronin6813]

I don't mean to sound like a pompous jerk on this one, but I didn't think this plotline was too hard to follow.

[@robertlauncher]

@@loneronin6813 The movie never explains any of that, though. Should be noted you’d had to have read a manual or I guess nowadays, played MK 2011

[@silverpslm]

Yup. Found out through the games that the OG Sub Zero was responsible for thr murder of Scorpians people, or in the true case, Quan Chi. Subs murdered, and his brother takes his place as leader of thr clan. But Scorpian moves his revenge on the brother. Also, the OG Sub Zero becomes Noob Sabat. Then there's Frost, and Scorpian forgives Sub Zero. And a bunch of other stuff.

[@jherroddozier8673]

Okay, I know they don't really explain it in the movie, but on the subject of Sub-Zero and Scorpion: Sub-Zero in Annihilation is the younger brother of Sub-Zero in the first movie. After the original dies, the younger brother takes on his mantle (Sub-Zero is a code name after all). And Scorpion was already dead. He was a reanimated soul from Netherrealm in the first movie. You think they couldn't do it again? The surprise you show for the number of fight scenes in a movie based on a *fighting* game is also kind of amusing.

[@Ashurman666]

Wells Yeah they never reveal the brother´s real names so it gets hard to follow if you don´t know the games.Then again i don´t think the early games did either

[@honestred7600]

I also would like to add that Sindel looks so young is because she's Edenian just like Kitana and they live for hundreds of years. I think this is explained in both movies. Also she's a reincarnation.

in simplest terms; sub zero is sub zero's brother. they have the same name. scorpion is a spectre of hell and therefore cant die.

[@AudreyAdz]

karlie kretchmer No, Sub Zero's NAME is Kuai Liang and he was killed by Scorpion. Kuai Liang then adopted the name "Noob Saibot" after having been sent to the Netherrealm (not outworld). Sub Zero's name is Bi Han and he's Kuai Liang's brother. Bi Han seeks revenge against Scorpion for killing his brother. Get it right, friendo.

Kuai Liang is actual the younger brother that we see as sub-zero now. Bi Han was killed by scorpion, and then turned into Noob after death. Get it right, friendo.

[@thebystander1636]

If you come to Doug for a real review of movies by someone with cinema knowledge, you've made a mistake. He doesn't comprehend movies for shit. I know he is supposed to be funny but.. as an example. In the MK review, he is stating the reasons for the main fighters to enter the contest as well as their backstory. For Liu Kang, he just says.. "bEcAusE hE's aSiAn!" TWICE. Insinuating that he had no backstory and no reason to enter the tournament. Liu Kang was the protagonist, and had more development than anyone. He leaves his people because he doesn't share their beliefs and ideas. He is living in America doing his own thing, until his brother is killed by Shang Tsung in the tournament. He vows revenge and enters the tournament. I haven't seen that movie in 8 years or so.. And remember that much. Doug often misdirects his audience, and lies about a scene to be blunt, to make his jokes. CinemaSins does this as well, but way way worse. Oh, to the fanboys, it isn't parody, nor is it satire. It's a lack of creativity and humor. If you want comedy mixed with real reviews by level headed experienced people, RLM is your only source.

You never played the mortal kombat games, did you critic?

[@ravensainteve5210]

Kuma Teddie no. nor did he read the comics. He really doesn't care that he looks more and more like an imbecile with each video "he makes".

[@whenthemusicsover6028]

Raven Saint Eve Since when is playing the games or reading the comics required to critique a film as a standalone product? He doesn't need to be familiar with the source material in order to judge the film by it's own merits, any more then I need to read the Batman or Superman comics in order to judge whether their respective films are good or not.

[@Giriko3490]

Chozo Hunter That may be true, but it seems like he was hating on aspects of the games as well. It's an awful movie, but it felt like he was hating on some of the regular aspects of the game, as well.

[@gladoshatesyoursafespace2653]

Kuma Teddie The word of week is aspects!

[@pharaohyami5000]

That guy without the beard. I miss Mati. Wonder how he's doing now?

[@JacobHillSBD]

He died, well, the character did. It was in one of the anniversary specials.

[@macmario2181]

Mati means dead in my country which is coincidence i guess

[@idkilikestrawberries]

I now wonder what country you are from.....

[@CalamityM]

***** I miss Bargo too :C

[@gladoshatesyoursafespace2653]

Wow, people miss Mati? Excuse me while I go someplace secluded and puke my guts out.

“Oh, that was his brother: 7° C.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

After all this years I still don't get it why NC says Shao Khan dresses like Mcgruff,didn't he wear a typical detective trench coat and fedora hat?🤔

[@KneelB4Bacon]

15:44 _"Oh, YES, you're a DIRTY little kitty, aren't you? Just a DIRTY DIRTY little kitty. Yes you are, just d-"_ lol@Bargo.

[@Canada1994]

Whenever I hear "Outworld", I think of that moment in the first episode of Morty Kombat when Morty's cooking the burrito in the microwave and sees the Outworld button "I guess that means that this setting is 'Outta this world'"

[@kaydgaming]

You missed the perfect Kano joke when Liu Kang said his heart belonged to another.

[@MisterE80]

You forgot to mention that the actors who played Shao Kahn and Jax are different actors from the first as well.

[@majorfanboy2005]

3:32 Where the review actually begins

[@ManOnHorizon]

20:48 - I love this magic of editting. I almost thought Kitana was about to kiss her mother)))

[@TBrianOnline]

Omg, so many things wrong with this movie which is a damn shame. I pretty much just liked the music and some of the fights. I just keep hoping that just like the videogames made a great comeback, so will MK get back to a silver screen. Btw, with all due respect to James Remar and Brian Thompson, they were a total miscast here. Jeff Meek killed it as Shao Kahn in MK Conquest (and would probably have made a better Raiden here).

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

I actually like the way Doug looks without a beard...

[@SpideyFan-onst]

the reason why Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage got new actors was because Bridgette Wilson Sampras, who played Sonya Blade, was busy starring in IKWYDLS (I Know What You Did Last Summer) and Linden Ashby, who played Johnny Cage, turned down the role after he read the script. And I don't blame him. and Fun Fact, after Paul W. S. Anderson (director of the first film) saw how terrible Annihilation did, he swore that he would never leave a movie series that he began. Which was why he stayed with the Resident Evil movies for 14 years.

[@TakumiTheFAUSTScientist]

"We saw these guys died in the First Movie why they're suddenly back?" Well there's a *Simple Explanation* for that Critic: You see...The Sub-Zero who died in the First movie is Named Bi-han and that Sub-Zero is his *Younger Brother* named Kuai Liang To make it short: The Sub-Zero in the First Movie has a *Younger Brother* And about Scorpion's Revival: Well.... He's an *UNDEAD* so he can back anytime he wants

[@bigrick5747]

The more I watch this the more I realize how the only people who can fully understand the plot are those who actually know the lore.

[@legoking6165]

Is it just me or does Millena sound just like she does in MKX?

[@MisterX867]

Lmao yeah I can hear the resemblance

[@kirakiryu1020]

MisterX867 Or see it. Seriously, where are the Baraka teeth?

[@jlord5078]

Ditch the mask, we need to see the teeth!

[@faze_buendia9514]

I've always been a fan of the game, ever since super Nintendo and I really love the mythos they've built over the last 12+ games

[@Groypette]

I love how doug reads constantly the teleprompter in these old videos

[@DiscoingGD1989]

I rewatch the first Mortal Kombat every Halloween (because when I was a little kid, I thought of it as a Halloween movie). It's truly fantastic and Johnny Cage with his zingers is at least half of what makes it fantastic.

[@NewSuperAvenger]

"Destroy all expectations" Isn't that the tagline for Star Wars: The Last Jedi?

[@Rogue.Rainbow]

It’s also the tag line for Star Wars :The Rise of Skywalker

[@seaweed7640]

don't worry them being brothers isn't canon

[@obsidianwolf3756]

whom?

[@seaweed7640]

raiden and shao kahn

[@anonymusmysterious5401]

Yeah, Johnny Cage died anyway by Motaro, that's why he's not in MK3 (Yes, I know that Daniel Pesina was fired, but that's the character excuse)

[@DigiRangerScott]

I for one support ThatOtherGuyOntheNewsOnceCare

[@sheezburgaman8918]

A whole decade since the original video for this was made? Holy Schmackeroni!

[@psychoticentertainment7526]

I just want to say that at least the subzeros brother thing was actually in the games

[@zekecasperanddeadpoolzgroovyst]

Nostalgia Critic looks like a total different person without his bearded goatee.

[@gatopreto-xq4dd]

´´I cannot believe how many fight scenes there are in this movie`` He realizes it`s a fighting game, does he?

[@Lava91point0]

That nightwolf cgi effect is pretty cool imo, given the time.

[@aaronstevenson4136]

Why didn't nightwolf stick around?

[@Lava91point0]

@@aaronstevenson4136 no idea

[@cornholio2055]

Is it ironic that the nostalgia critic has become nostalgic?

[@cdagyekybcrpaa]

12:51 the part when the Critic plays the main theme from Lawrence of Arabia always gets me

[@oleksandrpohoreltsev434]

Moment with a beard is not for the faint-hearted...

20:15 I spat out my drink with this 😂😂😂

[@DarkseidJoshua]

No matter what you think of this movie we can all at least agree that the soundtrack is amazing

[@Morgil27]

One good thing I'll give this movie: the soundtrack was pretty damn good. I had the CD as a kid and listened to it quite a lot. Fun fact: the song that plays when Liu Kang first meets Jade I would later hear in the first American Pie movie when the foreign girl strips on a webcam.

[@BeeDub57]

The world needs more Mortal Kombat-themed ballet performances.
