Review of Mortal Kombat (2021) by Zeke13Z — 24 Apr 2021

Disclaimer : This is a movie made for fans of the game. You may find it difficult to follow if your not into the games, that's your fault, not the movie. Having 18 different games in the franchise you should've played one of them by now... This is how a game-made-movie adaptation should've been from the beginning, throwing you right into the action. This will tickle the fancy of every MK lover. The inclusion of Cole is unobtrusive to the overall MK lore while remaining true to the core of the franchise. Kano was written in very well, and cast even better. I was also surprised to see the Scorpion / Sub Zero story almost completely carried over from "Scorpions Revenge" (that's another great watch for the MK buff). With how well this sticks to the game franchise, I'm expecting a sequel.

*Quasi Spoiler*.

This was clearly written to have a sequel. It's kinda clear the writers didn't want to drag the movie on.
