Mortal Kombat (2021)
3/10
Felt like a YouTube fan film.

Warning: Spoilers
Cole's plot armor was cheesier than the entire original 1995 movie.

Why did Sub-Zero and Scorpion's outfits make them look so fat with all of the padding?

Goro looked like he belonged in World Warcraft and was completely wasted.

Kano was funny. Sub-Zero was basically Michael Myers .. so that was neat. Fatalities looked great.

Liu Kang and Shang Tsung are forgettable compared to the OG film. Couldn't hear a thing Raiden said.

Good fx, choreography was fine, and nice of them to show some lesser known characters. Kabal & Kung Lao were top notch.

Cole is completely unnecessary with the huge amount of MK characters that there already are. He cheapened the final fight.

Akana is also random and a new element that I can live with.. but why?

The 1995 film did way better capturing the essence of what Mortal Kombat was, came out at the right time, and had a way bigger impact. Mortal Kombat 2021 was just ok.. and that's sadly it.

With that being said.. I hope they improve upon what they have in the sequel. Looking forward to seeing it and please kill Cole's character within the first scene or forget about him.
