It would have been better if "Sub-Zero" was a name that other people started calling him and he just adopted it. The thought of someone actually coming up with the idea to call themselves that is just cheesy. It's like the unpopular kid at school making up their own cool sounding nickname.

MK 95- 8.5/10 MK 97- 5/10 MK 21- 3.5/10 Rayden is suposed to be a 7 ft Caucasian, not a 5 ft Mongoloid. LOL Liu Kang shouldnt look like a girl. Robin Shou looked like a man. Shang Tsung is not scary at all with those chubby cheeks. Tagawa was so much better. Sub Zeros and Scorpions costume was bad. Yellow and blue are barely recognizable. I hoped MK 21 was going to look something like MK LEGACY witch was very good, but it was nothing like it. MK 21 is not a movie you can watch twice, it would be too painfull.

This is such a great and well-rounded review! I like how you talk about what worked and didn't work in both this one and the original and not just making blanket statements like "The first movie is still the best" because the 1995 film had a lot of flaws along with a few things that worked. But your review is so accurate! The tattoo thing was just not a good story plot at all. It could've easily been explained that their powers come from Chi power and learned magic, and even some technology in there like with Kano's eye, and sorcery could've been the explanation for the villains' side, and this would've been MUCH more grounded and organic. I couldn't even believe they went with such a cheap, convoluted explanation as a friggin tattoo. Just bad writing. Also well said about MK being made for a cinematic universe. With a storyline and characters as rich as Mortal Kombat's, a cinematic universe is the only way you can go, but you don't establish that with first-time writers and directors! But I like your idea of starting off with Sub-Zero and Scorpion, then the Special Forces, the Black Dragon, and so on... This movie was insanely rushed and underdeveloped and felt much more like a pilot episode than a big screen movie adaptation. In all honesty and truth, this whole thing needs to be scrapped, taken back to the drawing board, and started over with different writers and directors and possibly a different studio.

I thought the music was incredibly well edited for hyping up the fight and the choreography was pretty good for me. My biggest gripe with this movie (besides all the lore changes) was that Shang Tsung was just too straight forward, in the original and the games everything he says either has a sense of double meaning or is filled with enough vile hatred to physically feel it, here he’s just pretty bland and up front. Also, team scorpion.

Like any other fight in the old movie compared to the reptile vs Liu kang fight or the scorpion vs johnny fight really in terms of an enjoyable fight, when you don't consider the story elements and just view it as a fight, was bad.

@@Lord_ofcinder Im literally rewatching the 95 movie now and no its not nostalgia. The actors actually give off charm and personality in the 95 version. 2021 versions were dull execpt for sub,kano,kabal and scorp. Liu kang was a fucking robot in this movie and out right dull who worshiped Kung Loa. Raiden was a lazy prick in this movie who just bitched the whole way through and didn't show that he gave a fuck. Shang was so boring and had no presence that they had to use a filter for his voice and give him black eye contacts. Theres more but this is just some examples of how crap these versions were.

@@saloz9483 Nah i watched the 95 recently as well, the only characters that were marginally true to the games were Liu kang and cage thats mostly cause of their chemistry. Yeah kano as well in the way of design but his character was shit. Raiden was a simp soy boy in the 95 one and a prick in the current one so thats there. Tsang shung was fucking perfect in the 95 one tho he wasnt anything close to the games, He was perfect due to the actor (basically heath ledgers joker), sonya was trash in the 95 this one was basically sort of like MK11 sonya. Liu kang wasnt bad but yeah was a bit over the top buddhist monk robotic character. Kung lao was alright.

Best review I've seen thus far, my exact thoughts... Pissed me off Lui Kang wasn't the chosen one and Johnny Cage definitely could've filled the Cole position easy... I didn't understand his arcana, that idea wasn't really thought out and the tattoos reminded me of Annihilation too... 👏🏾👌🏾👏🏾✊🏾

I absolutely agree again! Especially the outworld and desert land surroundings. It reminded me of MK Annihilation too much which is never a good thing.

It was just not that. You remember where in Annihilation how they killed off all the main character easily all because they didn't have time to tell their stories, and also the director thinking only the fans would know who they are. This movie did the same freaking thing. I've excepted how they got their powers and all like Kano without having cyborg implants. Unlike Jacks though that was freaking stupid, and don't get me started with that horrible character Cole with his literal invincible plot armor. That character was freaking awful.

Oh did it, I thought outworld in the game was a barren wasteland.

What reminded me of Annihilation was the amount of characters that were introduced in name only (Nitara, Mileena, Reiko). It felt like what they did in MK Annihilation with Ermac, Rain, etc.

The scene where Liu Kang kept leg sweeping Kano was so parallel to the game with noobs doing the same move over and over 😂😂

that scene made me crack up. i think it was MK3 where you can set the difficulty on the hardest and still win by just spamming that swipe kick

Great job Jeremy! You nailed it...sure we are disappointed with many things but this movie gives us plenty of good! A perfect MK movie making everyone happy is nearly impossible. This movie gave us some good stuff and its not like its the last movie!

The idea of Jax and Sonya being skeptics is a really good idea. You should be a consultant.

Are you being sarcastic? Because that's not a new idea. Sonya was the skeptic in the original Mortal Kombat, and Jax was the skeptic in Annihilation

@@Htx.lunatic neat, annihilation came out when I was in like the 5th grade. Everyone saw it once and didn’t speak of it again, it was such a disappointment, even to kids. And in the original MK movie, if that’s what you’re referring to, she wasn’t a skeptic very long at all.
