First off I just wanna say I don’t see what all the hate with this movie was I think people honestly forgot what the premise of mortal kombat actually is but anyways let’s talk.

I just finished watching the movie and I gotta say fuck the movie was awesome I loved it the slow start giving everyone a story made this movie worth the watch just a warning if you haven’t seen it then please don’t read on may contain spoilers.

So the movie starts in feudal japan in a small home out in the woods a family chilling a baby crying a man enjoying life until bi-han shows up and kills everyone making his way looking for hanzo now if you haven’t played the games and kept up on the lore then I’m sorry I can’t help you this scene sets the intro for the movie.

Fast forward to present day and outworld like always is breaking rules trying to gain the upper hand in the tournament the movie follows cole a down and out mma fighter just trying to make a living for his family eventually he’s hunted down by non other then the coldest mother fucker in all of outworld Sub-Zero but thanks to some intervention from jax he’s able to get away and love another day.

This is where the movie gets interesting as it introduces other fighters such as sonya and kano which is just the start as you later meet kung-lao and lu-kang now the line up I admit was a bit surprising but the action the movie offers definitely lives up to it’s name and the best part the fatalities are brutal and gore fest just like the games.

All in all the movie does a great job of setting up the story and living to the name of what mortal kombat is which is brutal fucking fighting along with blood and gore if your a fan of the series and haven’t watched the movie give it a chance and be open minded after all most gaming movies don’t hit it off but I feel this one did a great job thank you for stopping by have a great time and game on!
