    I thought it was pretty good :idk:

    I think the sequel will help the first movie a lot as it did feel a little rushed at times.

    I watched the first 7 minutes and
    somehow even with a mom and child being frozen to death right off top
    it seemed kind of corny.

    but when it comes to movies I can be kind of an annoyingthundercunt, so I’ll slam a few gummies and beers and throw it a pitty watch.

    Got tickets tomorrow night to a theater with "4DX:"

    4DX equipped auditoriums employ motion enabled chairs, which create strong vibrations and sensations, as well as other environmental controls for simulated weather or other conditions, such as lightning, rain, flashing (strobe) lights, fog and strong scents. The 4DX equipment can aggravate existing medical conditions or cause users to suffer a loss of equilibrium or balance, headaches or dizziness and in extraordinary circumstances, epilepsy-like symptons. If you are pregnant, elderly, physically or mentally sensitive or have any of the following health conditions, you should not use a 4DX auditorium: high blood pressure, heart conditions, allergies, neck or back conditions or epilepsy.

    The question isn’t whether this Mortal Kombat movie is good (it isn’t). The question is why would you expect it to be good? It’s a Mortal Kombat movie.


    Also, who dies from getting stabbed in the shoulder?

    To me, the craziest thing about this Mortal Kombat film is...
    the complete lack of Mortal Kombat, the tournament.

    thought it was obv he died from blood loss from the shoulder wound, the gut wound, and the litany of other cuts during his fight with sub zero. Think he just passed out after the stab wound in the shoulder and then woke up when he heard his kid crying

    I, for one, love that Kano
    received his laser eye naturally as a matter of destiny and not because he’s an evil, ruthless bastard who modifies his body for personal gain. TOTALLY fits the character

    The My Hero Academia quirk bullshit was stupid as hell.

    No disrespect to you but this is the dumbest fucking take of all time in ways to judge a movie.

    Like “just shut the fuck up you dumb fucking piece of shit” type of take.

    Again I mean that with all due respect

    First of all, I don’t know what everyone’s expectations were but this is a fun fucking movie. Is it a good movie? Fuck, no. It’s just very fun, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

    Just make him Scorpion! Not Goldy McNightstick. Was so weird.

    Anyone else find it funny that Scorpion spoke to Cole despite ZERO evidence that Cole spoke Japanese?

    It's a pretty bad movie with some cool parts/scenes. Still think those shorts that went viral years ago would've been badass

    The Cole character is bad.
    Can't believe they killed Kung Lao off. The CGI on Goro was good tho
    Jax Hammer guy fight was bad
    Kabal was badass
    Think they should've left Kano as an anti hero
    The catch phrases were cheesy but fun
