Jade...
This wont end well.
Can't get enough of her. She's my fetish...
...especially in the scene where she gets decapitated by Khan.

She's a very secondary character and not the only unauthentic character, Kano is bald in MK2.But muh DIVERSITY
People go out of their way just to find some woke drama to once again justify spreading their visceral hate.

I don't know looks fun, mortal kombat ran the fighting genre for decades. They have to figure out a good mortal kombat, these are classic characters.

Soon as I saw the trailer I expected sub 15 year old behavior on GAF.

I think it's insane how Johnny Cage went from being almost the Yamcha of the franchise to now being one of the characters they like to play with being portrayed as the main character. He was killed off early in the 2nd movie, he was the main character they decided to axe to add tension, around that time he wasn't in vanilla MK3 (to be fair, neither was Scorpion) and then it seemed like for a while he was included in the games but lacked prominence. Then a shift back to focusing on him and doubling down on the lore that there is a special power inside of him. Now it looks like he might be the main character of this movie.
I don't mind it. JC is my fav MK character.

Another trailer where I can't help but wonder where all the good CGI artists went....some of this looks rough.
Kano was about the only interesting thing in the last one, so I imagine Johnny's probably gonna have some heavy lifting to do here.

Casting in the miniseries MK Legacy was better and just better in general it was mature and grounded rather than a comedy with shit nobody actor's.... Michael Jai White was perfect as Jax, Mark Dacascos as Kung Lao again was perfect and the dude who played Kenshi was brilliant, Ian Antony Dale as Scorpion was good too.
Karl Urban should have been Kano and they should have brought MJW and Dacascos back too, Just them 3 castings alone would make this vastly more appealing, Cage should have been played by Scott Adkins you know an actual martial artist, Ashame Van Damme is 64 now even JCVD as Cage would have been better than Karl Urban ffs he just doesn't suit that role at all

So we get this, instead of a proper Dredd 2 with Urban?
This timeline is just getting beyond a joke.

I don't think Karl Urban a good fit as Johnny Cage here. A decade ago maybe he would be fine for the role. Now he sticks out as a sore thumb, especially when acrobatics/choreography is required, even more than the bald Tanya -- who I think is fine/whatever.
He's a good actor though, so maybe he'll improve the movie a bit.

I would've thought the same, but then he did Star Trek and Dredd and did very good versions of both.
I liked what was shown of him in the trailer, but you could tell he doesn't have the action chops by the angle of the scenes they had him in. Mostly from behind or the side so you know it's a stunt double.
From the trailer, this would appear to be an older past his prime JC, so him being an older actor makes sense.

Looks like crap in every single way, from the characterization to the action and VFX.
The first one sucked too, so it's hardly surprising.
Based on random youtube videos I've seen (corridor crew and such), it's not really a lack of talent but a lack of time and resources combined with poor planning and a "just fix it in post" mentality that increases the workload and results in many last minute changes.
Good, fast and cheap, with VFX you can only choose 2.

Im not a developer, I know nothing about game design but I was shocked how big of a step down MK1 was to MK11 in style and character design. I mean MK11 had insane details, each character had like 30 different outfits and masks and props that were made specifically for that one character. MK1 feels like they lost any imagination and just gave us pallet swaps. Even the original designs are so dull compared to Mk11.

IMO the actress isn't a bad choice, she's good in all the other stuff I've seen her in (Sabrina, Uncharted, You, etc) and she looks just fine except for the hair….or lack of. That's going to itch my ass forever, the character and I share a name so like a conceited ho, she was automatically my GOAT female so I care too much how she's represented and "bald" ain't the fuck it.

The fighting choreography alone was dogshit tier .. you could see the "stop hints" from a mile, in the whole movie! It made Kobra Kai fake fights seem like a prime bruce lee movie

Both of you guys are right. Both the movie and the game were garbage, lol.
Can someone explain why all these directors love shitting on Goro? He has some of the coolest lore and none of the directors ever do him justice. The way he got absolutely annihilated by Cole fucking Young or whatever his name is...that shit was embarrassing to watch. Undefeated champion for 500 years and he loses to some dude who just lost an amateur MMA fight one day ago.
Who writes this shit?

Hollywood and their fucking obsession with adding some made up asshole literally no one cares about.
The original movie followed everyone in the game, this is what fans want to see, why is this difficult for hollywood to understand? Why the fuck should I give a shit about Cole or his dumb family? Why would Sub-Zero waste his time on this guy?
Goro was wasted so much in this movie, how is this guy a sub boss in the games but a bitch in this movie? At least in the original he was presented better. Losing to some random clown….wow.

I'm retarded?
First one was fun, not good not bad, but gave me old movies vibes you know the ones that are trash on paper but we loved? Thats the previous MK. This one looks like a lot of stuff cramped just for reasons, with weak cgi. Eh, will still watch.

Looks better than the first one. But the soundtrack is complete shit. I wish they'd hire Juno Reactor for the whole thing instead to create a more suiting one + a new take on the Techno Syndrome.

Yeah, you're right.
The first MK (2021) was horrible, awful, terrible.
I have zero faith in this one, moreover when I see Baraka or that LGTBI activist in it.

Urban actually looks like fun in this. I'm totally in (I still think Shang Tsung is miscast, but ... meh.)
The fact that Sanada is in this one too makes me happy.

I didn't know there was a new MK movie, let alone there is a second one.
