if you want a film that has a familiar backdrop, if you want a familiar backdrop, while also maintaining the characters personalities, motivation and roles from the source while also inputing in minor, yet significant, changes to the storyline, watch scorpions revenge
and they wasted goro like he is nothing. 14
id="hidden14" />any chance youll do a video on lore differences between the movie and games? Id love to see what they changed and i think youre the only mk kontent kreator that can pull this off
at first, the complete lack of the actual tournament was a wtfupon further contemplation, i can let it barely slide because if i' m remembering right, there were only two main mortal kombat tournaments in mk1 and mk2. Everything from mk3 on was the outworld invasion, netherrealm war, deadly alliance (which, ok, they had that tournament for li mei to have won) armageddon, but by and large, the tournament itself plays little role in what we' ve seen go down amongst the characters themselves. However, this film is very much worse of for not featuring the actual tournament and focusing instead on cole and the lead up to the tournament.
i could keep nitpicking the everloving shit out of it, but i' m not going to pretend for one second i wasn' t grinning like a 9 year old the whole time i was watching it, and would rather not dwell on the negatives. I liked the arcana thing, too, because it would at least explain how (thread-bare as it may be) some of thecharacters from the games area able to display their special moves in a semi-plausible way. I liked with cole how his (plot) armour has an appearance that he' s wrapped in the same kinda wraps fighters do for their fists, and once i got passed how cliche the whole damage absorption was, i could look at like a nod to the meter mechanics in the games (and the uppercut having the reputation it did in the early games)
first watching was probably a 9, then an 8 after the second, and upon further reflection, i' m comfortable with a 7. For me, this movie is a massive step up from its predecessor in some aspects, but fell behind in others
cons - cole young, arcana, lack of personalities. 2
- tournament: should have been an actual thing & taken place on shang tsungs island to determine the f - raidens temple: should actually be a place difficult for not initiated mortals to find and access. It shouldnt be an overglorified cave in the desert, but rather an actual elegant & well-kept sanctuary for the shaolin. Lastly, i strongly believe that adding fujin as raidens aide & right hand would have helped as he couldve been the one who recruited the champions & sent them there. Retcon can be made stating that no divine being can interfere with the tournament, thus preventing fujin from participating)
- outworld: just more screen time, perhaps add shao kahns army mistreating the citizenry. Showing the colosseum would have been a nice touch too.
- shirai ryu: should have been a small village with a handful of generic men training, rather than simply a hut & family of 4. Thus adding more to the shirai ryu being an actual clan that was slaughtered.
- arcana: pointless addition to the film.
characters:
- cole: despite actor doing a good job, his character adds little to nothing to the story. If they wanted to use a random protagonist with ties to the tournament, it would have been a better idea to utilise the likes of shujinko.
- reiko: fans know him as one of shao kahns most powerful generals. In this he is an overgrown brute with fuck all lines & a few grunts. It would have been nice to have him actually intimidate shang tsung by stating shao kahn is closely monitoring the events that happen here today, do not fail him again, sorcerer it would have at least shown any new audience that he isnt a generic goon, but someone of high authority & intelligence. Wont matter if killed off or not)
- shang tsung: lacks that sly, classy, yet threatening demeanour his counterpart in the 1995 film had. Otherwise he wasnt too bad.
- nitara: adds nothing & should have been replaced with jade to add to mileenas character. Shouldnt be killed off in first film)
- goro: really low balled & should have been replaced with either kintaro or a generic shokan for cole to defeat. Also goro should have played his largest role by appearing at the end & being the one to kill/defeat kung lao, thus allowing shang tsung to steal his soul.
- raiden: had nothing divine about him, im honestly disappointed about his portrayal. The manner in which he speaks is very unfitting for a god & protector of earth realm.
- jax: portrayed well, however his cybernetics should not have been made in the temple by shaolin monks.
- kano: eye should have initially been cybernetic. Otherwise excellent portrayal.
- scorpion: nothing too bad say about scorpion. Perhaps more control ofwould have been a nice touch the sub-zero fight. Would have been good to have him save earth realm in the last minute of the tournament.
- reptile: should function as a spy rather than an assassin
yeah, i just watched it as an action movie and it is very good indeed, plus i was not
and then maybe after two or three movies about some characters, they could make a big one talking about the tournaments, when then people who watched previous movies know what they need about every important character and what they fight for (because beign honest, they didn' t even tryed to introduce shang tsung and raiden, and thats another whole story you could tell about them, for most people who watched this movie, they are the bad guy and the leader of the good guys)
i sincerely feel sad that this movie could have been so much better, scenes like the very first are what i want to see if they make another ones
