Review of Mortal Kombat (2021) by Jusjz — 25 Apr 2021

People who kontinue to say there is no plot line or bad plot do not understand MK lore or the realms and should watch again or maybe stick to Harry Potter. This movie is def. a Part 1 of 2 and this movie sets up the next beautifully. The reviews remind me of when Kill Bill Vol. 1 came out and people killed it and didn’t get the vision til Vol. 2 came out. The movie does well taking the time to set up the Earthrealm characters and how each ends up brutally becoming MK combatants. The development of the new character is well done with dope weapons in the blade and Kali stick. Kano and Kabal are gems in this movie.

The Tournament will obviously be hosted by Shao Kahn in the 2nd movie and Bi-Han will return as Noob. Kung Lau will probably become a revenant like in MKX and Goro will return from the NetherRealm. Raiden might even summon Night Wolf and Katana. The cinematography is top notch and the camera work on the fight scenes is awesome and add realism to a video game movie. They give perfect nods to the game itself in well timed parts and the movie works great comedically and seriously which is though to pull off. The movie is fun and will be rewatched when the 2nd comes out and the reviews will only get better with time.
