[@tdog3954]

the next movie is just gonna be about the character mokap.

[@MovieDumpster]

Mokap vs Meat or we riot!

@@MovieDumpster lmao *starts assembling Molotovs*

13:10 Sean broke me with that line. I didn’t hate this movie but I still think the 95’ movie is the best adaptation. 🐉 🧊 🦂

[@MovieDumpster]

95 blows it out of the water! This movie broke me! 😂 -Sean

[@stevezac_cptlpnshmnt]

13:50 Pretty sure it's cannon for Tsang to try to attack the Earth Real Warriors before the tournament... In the OG movie, he attempts to do so on the ship with Scorpion and Sub Zero. This movie just put all of its emphasis on that specific plot point.

[@MovieDumpster]

Yeah that is a good point! We just wanted to tournament and felt robbed. -Sean

[@brianbarrieau9060]

I enjoyed this movie probably out of sheer wanting it to be good or maybe the opening Hanzo vs Bi-han fight just enthralled me, but after watching it a second time and listening to your reviews I agree with everything you guys said about it, Cole was a useless character and didn't need to be there. Lol BUT in the end it'll still go on my shelf.. side note the 1995 movie was better. Lol (that could just be biased nostalgia though).

[@tomurashigaraklilbeanboi]

I think it’s better then the two 90s movies but not as good as scorpion’s revenge

[@MovieDumpster]

Scorpion’s Revenge rules!

[@tomurashigaraklilbeanboi]

@@MovieDumpster u should review that movie some day

[@fightingmedialounge519]

I think the reason this compared to gorzillavs Kong is that both films pretty messy pop corn flicks.

[@whoablack3138]

I was so pissed how they just fumbled Jax played him as a throw away character stupid

[@CopiousTurtle]

Listening to this a year later and heard Joe say “we will” when responding to Sean saying “maybe we will cover Ghostbusters 2016.” I went searching while listening and can’t find an episode on it. Say it ain’t so! From my experience the bad movies usually make the best reaction episodes!

[@gideonquesenberry6270]

Can you just find another Mortal Kombat novel and have C. B. Smith break it down, while the gentleman tear this movie apart some more? Why is it seemingly so hard to just make a decent tournament fight film out of MK?

[@pc_gaijin]

Do you have any merch with either of your catch phrases?

[@MovieDumpster]

Not yet, haha

[@grimm9673]

What genuinely takes me out of this entire movie is the simple fact that they've already established 3 great storylines with the last 3 games and you can't just come in with this shit pile and expect fans to enjoy it. I would have preferred they just take MK 9, 10, and 11 and make a trilogy of movies that are just live action versions of the stories in those games. It's a great setup for a trilogy of films.

[@MovieDumpster]

I think the whole Dumpster Trio would agree with you on that one! -Sean

[@JoshuaWeirdo]

Goro is cool and all, but I hope that they have Shiva in the sequel. Death by snu-snu! 😍

[@blessethishe]

This was just an cash grab for that production team. They pulled one over on WB with all those lame promises that they cannot deliver on. This movie was their first impression and it was awful. If they signed on for 4 movies, someone needs to be fired 😤

[@MovieDumpster]

Even if it ended up amazing, committing to that many films upfront is just a recipe for disaster.

[@8strauss6]

@@MovieDumpster completely agree always plan on putting everything you have and making the best movie you can because there's no guarantee you're ever going to get to make that sequel

[@WeiJian393]

MK Shaolin Monk 2 would had been better than this movie. Like they could've made MK shaolin monk 2 about the great kung lao since MK11 made lui kang meet him.

[@boomstickcritique902]

I liked this movie didn't love it but the Cole character was what damages it. I think the sequel will be a logical improvement because they will see what worked and didn't work in the first. Chances are Cole will be killed in the 2nd one or they will simply shift the main character over to the game characters.

[@travisrochelle4499]

I don't understand, why they can't just follow the games. The story is already written

[@MovieDumpster]

Exactly! We say it in the episode, it’s crazy they haven’t figured this one out yet. -Sean

[@HarrisonPudding]

Just think about how much better this is if Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon get the MK IP? Mort all Rickbat. Use all the MK characters, Roilandize them and have a deconstructionist romp through this script. Or, I guess, this is a cautionary tale about cancel culture both in and out of the movie. The movie was fine if you watched the blood festooned shit I did as a kid. You learn to fill in the blanks with better backstory or just blank it out entirely. Thanks for filling in the blanks! I think...

[@VideoAcid]

I did a podcast with Big Dumb Movie on this movie awhile back after it dropped, I was mixed then and I’m mixed still. Ultimately I feel like it’s a ship than can be course corrected 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MovieDumpster]

We shall see 😂

[@Chilanta24]

The actor who played Coke was good 👍 he was just given 💩. They should have just stayed in the past with and followed scorpion the whole time like the animated movie that released just before this one

[@MovieDumpster]

Couldn’t agree more! I guess we’ll see what they do with him in the sequel. -Sean

[@omgitsme435]

This new one sucked ass. Every scene with Cole was painful

[@MovieDumpster]

Painful AND unnecessary, he's gotta be the worst antagonist in a film I've seen in years! -Sean

[@profesormacabro]

You guys covered this amazingly… personally, except for the totally unnecessary Cole, I liked it… Kabal & Kano are the MVPs of this flick

[@MovieDumpster]

Thank you, man! And yea Kano is really the best part, haha.

[@Apetraits]

Yeah this movie sucked, you guys should check the movie Riki-oh story of Ricky, if you wanna see some fun over the top fatalities.

[@MovieDumpster]

Story of Ricky rules!

[@McGomezAddams]

This movie is hot garbage
