Grrrrrrr. Any of my fans into “Mortal Kombat” like I am? Well, Hollywood made yet another attempt to bring the video game fighting franchise to the big screen…and succeeded. Succeeded in pissing me off that is. 😛
Mind you, it’s a good special effects film with bombastic action. The casting works well too as the actors look like the characters from the game they’re playing (special nod for Sonya Blade and Jax…REALLY great casting here!) and lo and behold, Hollywood actually used Asian actors for all the Asian roles (was a surprise to see Raiden played by an Asian actor…I still have Christopher Lambert on the brain, I guess), but where Hollywood failed was the entire lore of the series.
OK, you know when I talk about movies, I don’t do spoilers…usually…exception being made here; I’m ranting. 😛 Go to the cute girl pics now if you don’t want your MK movie experience spoiled a bit.
If you’re a MK “lorist” like myself, someone who follows the entire backstory and lore of the MK world, your world is gonna get shaken a bit. No Johnny Cage here; one of his movie posters is a lead-in to a possible sequel, and there’s an all-new character. UGH; I so don’t get the decision making here. This guy, going forward, is apparently the replacement in a potential franchise for Scorpion…fucking why? To make this understandable for my non-MK fans…take the X-Men. Now remove Wolverine. Replace Wolvie with “John Smith”. There ya go. :/ This is SO bizarre…the Scorpion/Sub-Zero rivalry was key to MK’s success, and it’s over and done with inside of this movie…it’s like Hollywood said there’s better stories to tell…we’re moving on, people. :/ Just…flabbergasting.
Never has a movie both given me enjoyment and rage at the same time. I’m there for sequels…if morbidly so to see what ELSE Hollywood fucks up. :/
Sasha Fae for today.

I’m with ya on the MK Tony I do not know how you go from Scorpion/Sub-Zero to Johnny Cage whoever but as you are I am there for the sequels and if for no other reason to see just how low they go, My opinion they could have stopped right here at this one and been done with the movies part of this and just keep the games coming.. I still dabble in those and they do play nicely as for the pretty girl well it’s Sasha one of the prettiest ever . Thank you for the rant and the pretty girl !!! Your friend Todd
Valerie Insinna on Twitter has some interesting thoughts about the latest Mortal Combat movie (which I’m nowhere’s near seeing by the way) Two nearest local theaters by me STILL aren’t open for business (thanks to COVID19) but I’ll probably rent it eventually see https://twitter.com/ValerieInsinna/status/1386830991939997701 for Valerie Insinna’s take on Mortal Combat. Putting it on my list of things to do. Judging from the two or three screen grabs I’ve seen, the special FX are on point at least. I liked some of the past Mortal Combat movies well enough. Too many sequels in Hollywood not enough original material…
Sasha Fae looks great as always (Sasha did some great work with you Tony)!
