SPOLER ALERT: New character as the protagonist didn’t really work out. He was totally unnecessary. The movie didn’t have an actual MK tournament! The movie felt rushed towards the end. Other than that it was good. Best characters: Kano and Sub-zero. Overall, the movie delivers a good dose of nostalgia but could’ve been better.

I was excited when I heard the news, especially when I read that James Wan (Insidious, The Conjuring) was going to be a producer for the reboot. I had my reservations, of course, due to the negative depiction of many video games or anime shows that were brought to real life. Mortal Kombat (2021) is by far the best video game depicted movie I’ve ever watched. No dull moment, character development wasn’t over barring and the story was a great new take for the franchise. P.S. Kano may have stole the show surprisingly!

This movie stunk. I think the low budget did them in. Jumped all over the place and had no real storyline. Hot garbage.

Special effects were good at some points. Only reason I saw this movie was for the scorpion and sub zero fight. Horrible plot. Bad acting.

Story is rushed, does not give a lot of detail on how and why. Some iconic characters died way too easy. Definitely not bad but story should have been flushed out.

If You go in for the fight scenes then this movie delivers. Not too much of a plot though. Overall it was a decent movie.

It was good. The characters were great. The main character Cole needs more lines and more and better character development. Kano is great, best part of the movie but ultimately, everything felt rushed and disorganized. They should of spoken more to the lore of the different ninja clans, explain more of history of the villains and build some rivalries to set up for the next movie. I think they should of slowed the pace of the movie but used to explain more of the story and characters rather than put all the focus on Cole and rushing fight scenes. The fight scenes were amazing though but this needed better story telling in my opinion.

Fighters' special powers had cool effects, but, overall, the original had a better plot than this one. Remake has better actors and effects. I was SO pumped to watch this, but felt a bit disappointed as I left the theater.

Not a flawless victory but very engertaining nonetheless. There were elements in this movie that would’ve made the 95 MK very appealing but there were things in the 95 MK that would’ve made this super appealing as well. All in all I have seen it twice and it is pretty good!

The beginning is a great attention grabber. After that it seemed to become a regular fight flick that eliminated a lot of things leading up to the big scene..

It’s a shame that the producers of Mortal Kombat movies are convinced that there needs to be long training/prep sections in the middle of their stories. No one wants to play a tutorial an hour after they’ve started the game.

The movie’s not quite a fight-scene masterclass, though compared to much else on offer from studio action of the moment, it sometimes feels like one. It’s solid entertainment — refreshing, even, for finding ways to navigate the familiar pivots on its own terms.
