Hey Talveons,
I don't usually use my blog for movie reviews but seriously I just had to say something about this.
For the record, I'm a huge Mortal Kombat fan. Fan of the original game and the cheesy, yet awesome movies. Well, the first one as even I can acknowledge the second one is just awful. With that being said there are some random characters that I don't know the names of, so forgive me if I miss someone obvious from the movie.
Right away I will say that this movie was far exceeded my expectations.
The cinematography and storyline of the entire movie are just a flawless victory. (Yes, I went there). Each character they picked stayed true to the original game and I did notice some game moves had been incorporated into some of the most epic fight scenes in recent cinema.
Without giving anything away in regards to the plot it doesn't follow the original movie storyline, which actually works for this movie. I'm a huge fan of the way they approached this one. Also, the R rating was definitely a welcome addition considering the level of violence and gore portrayed in the game. Thanks to this rating you are guaranteed to see some amazing fighting as well as lots of bloodshed. Fans of the game will appreciate the fight scenes so much more for this R rating.
For the negative side of things, I can honestly only think of one thing that was predictable in regards to one of the characters. People who have played the game and watched the previous movies will either not care or be a little irritated about the obvious outcome for that one person.
This movie gave me high hopes that video game adaptations that are amazing can and should be done more often in the future. It truly does take a director who knows the material and shows their love for it in the movie they produce.
Huge shoutout to the entire cast as they all did a fantastic job. Though I was hoping for a sneaky cameo from any of the original movie actors. And for those that care, there are no after-credit scenes.
My overall score for this movie is an 8/10. Strongly Recommend.
Always Keep Fighting.
You Are Enough.
