Review of Mortal Kombat (2021) by Smithb115 — 26 Apr 2021

I cant in good conscience give this movie a zero because of the long hours and effort many people likely put into this hot mess. Many were probably tortured by this directors vision and had to watch their formative years be ripped apart by this film.

It is complete idocracy, even for today’s standards. The movie has horrible pacing. There is no tournament. The chosen outland characters were dumb. Raiden is useless and boring. The dialogue is horrible.

Character development is horrible. CGI is bad. Main character is boring and their family doesnt belong in this movie. Cheesy one-liners. There is no tournament. Outland is never explored. Kano’s eye is so dumb.

Hanzo who is clearly an honorable warrior and the victim at the beginning of the movie somehow ends up in hell becoming Scorpion? Thats dumb. This movie is like watching six different directors’ half remembered fever dreams of the 15 minutes they spent playing the game before filming.

Oh, there is no tournament. For those who think I didnt understand the directors interpretation, I did and it doesnt work, its bad, like really bad. There is no tournament.
