+CitizenKahne1992 No kidding

Hah. Poor Raiden

I don’t blame him

Two thirds of the kast end up as zombies, and by the time of MK11, time had to be reset. THAT is how bad Raiden screwed up in MK9.

I enjoy going back to these I've always pondered tho does he not knows zero an scorpion game lore for him not to know the second sub zero

That was every computer fighter on hard mode too

YOU WEAK PATHETIC FOOL!!!

YOU SUCK!

I WIN

But it's actually minus 50% of the first movie's budget out. (6:40)

bi han the original sub-zero (probably spelled his name wrong) and the bane of my childhood when he teamed up with cyber smoke

For a guy who is faithful to the sourse martials,he barely know about the mortal kombat characters

@Mardusflame I just saying that because the nostalgia critic goes apeshit with moments like this.

that made me laugh at 15:43

F A C T S

The only problem is, the fight scenes in this movie is underwhelming beyond compare.

Mizuki Hozakai This is *one* problem, not the only xD

The difference being that the fight scenes in the first one made sense. They’re plot centric being matches in a TOURNAMENT. There is NO tournament excuse in this one. Not to mention the fighting is subpar and basic, having a minimum of three punches and two kicks each. AND THEY ARE FAT WASTES OF TIME!!

but its starting to get annoying. Not even Campaign in later games have that much fight scenes

I think that may have been the issue of making a movie about a fighting game back then, ya had no idea what the hell to do outside the fight scenes!

***** He keeps that hat on too much, so they're moving to his face to get some light.

He certainly hinds it well come review time.

***** The technical term is a "retreating" hairline

jonathan jacobs lol is receding hairline not retreating

Dead Reign I like my way better lol.

Eric Stevenson And the rest of the originals ran before hand 😂😂😂

Did they not have contracts that obligated them to be in a sequel? That’s usually the case in Hollywood contracts

Poever Normally actors can turn down certain roles in their contracts but will end up in another movie that's not of their choice. That's how Sean Connery ended up in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - and he was so unhappy the movie was delayed through fighting with the director and he actually blames it for being his last movie ever! 😂😂😂 Alot of actors end up in bad movies because they turned down say 3 movies and have to do the 4th.

Stefano Pavone It depends on the contract you sign I guess (small companies or Disney would be different obviously), but if you're a big time actor then you'd need a movie company you trust to have a few movies lined up for you to keep the cash flowing. Good movies hopefully 😂 You just have to be careful you don't end up black listed by Hollywood - yes that is a thing. Stunned the heck out of me. Or worse - type cast and the work dries up.

Stefano Pavone agreed

Wow. They had a better budget but had worse special effects, worse costumes and overall a worse movie. That's impressive!

It certainly doesn't show.

Definitely doesn’t LOOK it. I’d believe the first movie had a bigger budget with that Goro effect

@@tafua_a forgot to mention how they couldn't even afford to keep 3 actors from the first film that all played significant roles. That's 3 of the 5 heroes replaced from the first (far superior) film.

@@amyschildgamerlive4519 Makes you wonder where all of that "better budget" went...

Its almost like they filmed fightings before writing the script so they have to conected this characters from nowhere !!!

1997residente like nightwolf lol.

I agree - so many characters that had no purpose in this movie at all. They should have stuck to the most popular handful only and used them.

Hell. Rain, who is a demigod with water and lightning powers and a badass roundhouse kick, got knocked into a pit and died very early in the movie by Shao Khan.

They really did try to cram every character into the movie. Remember Kabal and Stryker's roles? Rain : "Two of earth's best warriors have already been taken. Kabal and Stryker."

The funniest part of about that. It took me a few years to realize, holy shit Shinnok was in this movie. Heck, you literally get barely two lines about the dude's name and they are so quick that I actually only caught it because I just happened to have the subtitles on one time.

So going by this movie, Raiden and Shao Kahn are brothers, both sons of Shinnok, which means Centerion is their aunt, and Kronika is their grandmother. What a fucking family picture.

*THAT WAS SHINNOK?! WHAT WERE THESE WRITERS ON?! DID THEY EVEN PLAY THE GAMES??!!!*

I don't think he knows that there are actually two Sub-Zeros and they're both brothers or that Scorpion is a Phantom.

@Yessica Donayre in the original arcade she wasnt even darker. It came with the n64 and playstation ports

Mk11

And Sub Zero actually DOES have an older brother in MK Canon who got resurrected as Noob Saibot................but was that a thing back in the 90s?

Which has not been established IN THE MOVIES. As someone who's only watched the movies, its not surprising the Critic would get confused.

@@GeneralKenobi75 But how could you not know? In the first film Scorpion removes his hood to show off a skull head. I don't know about you, I look at that and think undead. Also, pupiless eyes

I laughed when he leans into the frame to watch the fight and Doug shoves him back out again.

I howled when the guys kept coming back, Bargho, ?, and it was so hilarious how Rob just kind of floated up from behind Doug wearing this shit-eating grin. The dirty little kitty thing was too much 😆😆😂😂

karlie kretchmer No, Sub Zero's NAME is Kuai Liang and he was killed by Scorpion. Kuai Liang then adopted the name "Noob Saibot" after having been sent to the Netherrealm (not outworld). Sub Zero's name is Bi Han and he's Kuai Liang's brother. Bi Han seeks revenge against Scorpion for killing his brother. Get it right, friendo.

Kuai Liang is actual the younger brother that we see as sub-zero now. Bi Han was killed by scorpion, and then turned into Noob after death. Get it right, friendo.

Amigo Pancho did i mix up the names? fuck, fair enough. but i was completely correct about everything i just mixed up the names.

+gage lamb Damn you put dude to shame. Right on bro

***** The first movie isn't canon

Dumbass

@@mathunit1 he's not wrong though... still it seems like NC didnt do his homework on Mortal Kombat.

@Samir Adams possibly, he should've made himself clear who he's calling a dumbass.

Seriously, if you thought the old games or this movie had a lot of fighting, check out the reboot trilogy! Both 10 and 11 in particular threw in every excuse for characters to fight ever. The difference is that these fight scenes aren't very good, so I can see why Doug would get frustrated.

The fights in this movie are all bullcrap so it's justified.

I don't mean to sound like a pompous jerk on this one, but I didn't think this plotline was too hard to follow.

@@loneronin6813 The movie never explains any of that, though. Should be noted you’d had to have read a manual or I guess nowadays, played MK 2011

Yup. Found out through the games that the OG Sub Zero was responsible for thr murder of Scorpians people, or in the true case, Quan Chi. Subs murdered, and his brother takes his place as leader of thr clan. But Scorpian moves his revenge on the brother. Also, the OG Sub Zero becomes Noob Sabat. Then there's Frost, and Scorpian forgives Sub Zero. And a bunch of other stuff.

Wells Yeah they never reveal the brother´s real names so it gets hard to follow if you don´t know the games.Then again i don´t think the early games did either

I also would like to add that Sindel looks so young is because she's Edenian just like Kitana and they live for hundreds of years. I think this is explained in both movies. Also she's a reincarnation.

Honest Red No it really isnt

***** Kitana's age is not discussed in the first movie?

Honest Red Not sure,it´s been years. But the fact that they are Edenian and that Edenians live longer however i KNOW it´s not discussed

Literally true. Especially his edgy self Noob.

And his brother is a sweet bean compared to him,heck his brother befriended Scorpion!

Very true, Bi Han was a douche waffle of the highest order.

@@morganyoung3557 Dude was a cold-blooded killer. I think they brought in Kuai Liang just so people can have a Sub Zero who wasn't a complete douche waffle.

@@HolyknightVader999 agreed bi Han was definitely an asshole to me his brother was a more honorable subzero

i love that version of Beowulf !!!!!! its a fun movie, guilty pleasure lol

Yep, weird movie.

Me, too - the movie is so awful but sooo much fun to watch :D

please, Highlander V makes both those movies like oscar-winning masterpieces of the ages XD

The Christopher Lambert Beowulf movie is so bad but in an entertaining way. I remember the head of the castle's guard force had a really weird outfit that caused me to dub him, "Captain Codpiece." XD

Lmfao

oh and what about 2 fast huh did vin come back no yet it wa stele good movie

OMG

It's Ajax from The Warriors

Morbius Fitzgerald Shao Khan's mask reminded me of Skeletor's AWEFUL costume in that Masters of The Universe movie. Not threatening.

Then you play MK9, and Raiden absolutely screws everything up.

@@HolyknightVader999 Huh?

@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 Play MK9, and the NC's advice towards Raiden becomes a lot more funny and tragic. "Get your ass in there, Thor!" turns into a macabre joke throughout MK9.

@@HolyknightVader999 Cool

I wouldn't mind this movie having so many fight scenes, the only problem is that a lot of them are poorly edited and completely bloodless. Not to mention the abysmal CGI special effects.

Netherrealm games have realized that when you put so many fight scenes in a 10 minutes, its starting to get annoying. When you watch Action movie, Action movies need calm 10 minutes at least, to calm you down and interest you in the story.

If you come to Doug for a real review of movies by someone with cinema knowledge, you've made a mistake. He doesn't comprehend movies for shit. I know he is supposed to be funny but.. as an example. In the MK review, he is stating the reasons for the main fighters to enter the contest as well as their backstory. For Liu Kang, he just says.. "bEcAusE hE's aSiAn!" TWICE. Insinuating that he had no backstory and no reason to enter the tournament. Liu Kang was the protagonist, and had more development than anyone. He leaves his people because he doesn't share their beliefs and ideas. He is living in America doing his own thing, until his brother is killed by Shang Tsung in the tournament. He vows revenge and enters the tournament. I haven't seen that movie in 8 years or so.. And remember that much. Doug often misdirects his audience, and lies about a scene to be blunt, to make his jokes. CinemaSins does this as well, but way way worse. Oh, to the fanboys, it isn't parody, nor is it satire. It's a lack of creativity and humor. If you want comedy mixed with real reviews by level headed experienced people, RLM is your only source.

I don't about that. RLM has it's fair share of problems with criticism.

@@fightingmedialounge519" I don't ___ about that?" What are you referring to? Are you saying they have problems when people critique their work? If so, where do you come up with this and what does it have to do with them giving knowledge/experience based reviews? Explain your comment so we can understand it please.

Aaron Wade Winston Wilson AKA Deadpool Merc with the Mouth: I heard about that 60s Batman guy passing away. But watching a passing away tribute for a beard? That's just pathetic!

raiden and shao kahn

Yeah, Johnny Cage died anyway by Motaro, that's why he's not in MK3 (Yes, I know that Daniel Pesina was fired, but that's the character excuse)

Unslaadahsil It also misspelled "combat", it was also doomed to be stupid

+The Doctor. simply The Doctor The games did the same thing with the word combat, and they were great. It's a purposeful creative choice, not an accidental spelling error.

Mysterious Enigma I know. It was a joke

It’s also the tag line for Star Wars :The Rise of Skywalker

He died, well, the character did. It was in one of the anniversary specials.

Mati means dead in my country which is coincidence i guess

I now wonder what country you are from.....

***** I miss Bargo too :C

Wow, people miss Mati? Excuse me while I go someplace secluded and puke my guts out.

Kuma Teddie no. nor did he read the comics. He really doesn't care that he looks more and more like an imbecile with each video "he makes".

Raven Saint Eve Since when is playing the games or reading the comics required to critique a film as a standalone product? He doesn't need to be familiar with the source material in order to judge the film by it's own merits, any more then I need to read the Batman or Superman comics in order to judge whether their respective films are good or not.

Chozo Hunter That may be true, but it seems like he was hating on aspects of the games as well. It's an awful movie, but it felt like he was hating on some of the regular aspects of the game, as well.
