Hi guys n gals
Get over here! And read my review of the reboot of Mortal Kombat.
I've missed the cinema in the last year, plus missed doing film reviews of films seen at the cinema. Yes I could have reviewed an Amazon Prime original film or a Netflix film, as some offer cinema quality films. It's not the same cinema experience though.
Anyway I was torn between Mortal Kombat as I loved the first few games and the 1995 film and Godzilla Vs Kong. I hope to see the latter in cinemas too.
Mortal Kombat is a really good film to watch and turn the brain off, just watch the fights and effects. There's no Hollywood preaching which can pop up in films or Woke agendas, just good entertainment which is what you want and expect from a film.
The film starts off in ancient China where Sub-Zero hunts and kills Scorpion and his family. Cut to present day and we follow cage fighter Cole Young who isn't doing well but is found by Lord Raiden and Kano and Sonya Blade. He has a dragon marking that means he's been chosen as a fighter for Earth in an upcoming Mortal Kombat tournament with Outworld. The problem is Outworld is cheating and sending fighters to kill the Earths chosen before the tournament begins.
Apparently this is the first part of a trilogy planned. As this is set before the tournament. The sequel will be the tournament and the third film will show the aftermath.
Overall - A great popcorn movie with plenty of action, martial arts and special effects. Plus the story offers something a bit different to just being the tournament like the 1995 film. Also has the fun characters from the games looking great including Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Kano and Jax. Plus Kano is funny too. It's also nice and gory like the games plus the acting is good from all involved too even though I'd not heard of many of the stars.
Score - 9/10
