First 10 minutes felt like a concept for a movie that a couple of talented people put together and created to pitch to a studio and then the studio said "sure, make a whole movie of this but change these 100,000 things" and they were like "well, fuck".

It's so different from the rest of the movie I refuse to believe the entire movie was planned like this.

Absolutely, on some level I still liked it but it's total 180 of what I was expecting. There's subverting expectations like One Hour Photo (I don't care, Robin Williams best and he's said several times he was disturbed playing it) or Joker (rare example of it done right after 2015).

Then there's new crop of stuff that literally seems to pull the rug out from under you, great examples being Mortal Kombat and the Last Jedi (admittedly on some level I liked it as a standalone movie but you literally advance the plot 8 hours and start back at step 1)

Is sub zero (joe taslim) going to be noob saibot

 

[AlphaDump]

Yep. He is clearly Kano

I hope so, that would be a great call. Johnny Cage would be a pretty bad choice for him imo.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Really disappointed by this one. Not because I don't think he would be good because he is good at pretty much everything he does, but because he would be the best Kano that anyone could ever dream of.

Kano was already actually pretty good in the first movie. One of the only good things about it.

I agree. But just think he looks the character naturally.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Karl Urban is awesome, I just never pictured him as a Johnny Cage candidate, I would have never guessed he’d even be in the running. I’m interested.

 

[ahtlas7]

Kano died last movie already haha

Okay, zombie Kano

1990s MK good? What planet are people on. It was awful. Crap story (I know they didn't have much to go with in the first place) shit acting, awful cinematography, embarrassing special effects, even for the mid 90s and possibly the worst soundtrack ever made.

And yet somehow, MK Annihilation ended up being even worse.

I was disappointed when I first watched it as a 10 year old fan of the games. That's how poor it was.

The latest version is an award winning classic of our times compared to the 90s films.

Say what you want about the rest of the film, opinions are opinions and all, but you cannot tell me with a serious heart that these are bad songs:

I had a feeling they'd go with an older Johnny were they to use him. I also expect him to die early.

That would suck. At the very fucking least, we have to get a fucking ballbuster before he kicks the big L.

but you cannot tell me with a serious heart that these are bad songs:

Dog shit.

That would be my honest opinion.

If only Van Damme was 20 years younger... Urban as Kano and Van Damme as Cage that would have been so good

Reptile theme is goated.

I feel like he’s getting too big for this role. The first movie was very average
