abikason:
If mortal kombat 1 was this bad , it will not have a game and also a part 2

The storyline is poor
The action is poor
Outer world graphics is too poor for a 2021 movie
The story is too brief
Where have all the characters gone to?

oliverano:


Lui Kang main character(Protagonist \Actor)....yes replaced by a fcccking Cole Young..who directed this

But Sub Zero remains the most popular character as far as MK is concern.

The movie is a massive disappointed!

deleted it after the first day of seeing the movie.

MK 2021 was a complete disappointment and a stain on the MK franchise.
From their wack fight choreography to poor choice of characters.

1. Raiden was just looking like a dude trying very hard to look strict and hide his laughter

1. Raiden was just looking like a dude trying very hard to look strict and hide his laughter

2. Shag tsung was looking more like a vampire.

3. Mighty liu kang was acting like a high school poet.

4. Story line was just wack too,

5. The best characters were jax, sonya blade, kano.

6 the next movie should please be made by another better director.

7. This movie only made headlines due to past glory (the old movie and the video game)

8. Lemme pause here for now to read other comments

Liu Kang brutality.

Forward forward down down A was his fatality.

Only legends can relate.

lalasticlala mynd44 shebi i do review on this movie since, i mentioned you guys in the post but una remove una name from the post but now you moved another person's review he posted just yesterday to front page... You finally confirmed what i was suspecting... weldone sirs

rex21:

Captain can carry Thor's hammer na. The blunder was him wielding lightening with it

femi4:
Boring, just like the original. They need to work on the story line.

sslcrypt:
Mr critic make una go direct your own..

I enjoyed the fight scenes, regardless of the storyline.

MK doesn't have a storyline so why is everyone slamming their heads about storyline.

I was there purely for the fight scenes and brutality, and I wasn't disappointed.

I agree with all points except striked out parts.

I think the best characters were Subzero, Kano and Sonya in that order.

The past movies were also disappointing. Only the games had glory.

My opinion though.

bejeria101:
My issues with movies like this. We know the basic story line coming to put what isnt there would just damage everything for the viewers.

Blunder of the century! Captain america carrying Thors hammer. Thor is a god not a human o.

No be only you Bro
I think there's a thing going on behind the scenes of Nairaland.
Justwise , been removing my post to the extent of banning me on some occasions meanwhile let some people's similar post slide.

georgee:
The most useless 2021 movie after Coming 2 America

I am a big fan of Mortal Kombat, but this one is the most senseless after the first movie

Mortal Kombat Annihilation was better than this Crap.

If you want to enjoy better Mortal Kombat, please go and watch Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge (Animation and thank me later)

You should mention that your post contains SPOILERS!! so you don't ruin it for ppl yet to watch it.. luckily I stopped before going too far, but I know there's a plot twist somewhere

Today, I finally got to watch the much anticipated Mortal Kombat 2021 movie. Here's what I think about this movie.

Firstly, I wonder why there has been no frontpage thread about this movie. I mean, this movie is one of the biggest things this year (at least for Mortal Kombat fans).

Now to my review.

1. I've watched the trailer many times on YouTube but it didn't really impress me. But that still didn't stop me from thinking about this movie.

2. I've watched the two previous movies that were done on Mortal Kombat. I didn't enjoy the first movie but then mortal Kombat, to me, is like pizza (or sex); even when it's bad it's still good. But the second movie (mortal Kombat annihilation) was a lot better in my opinion.

3. Before watching this 2021 mortal Kombat movie, I'd read reviews online and I was surprised to see poor reviews. Many people said the movie wasn't made for everyone, instead it was directed at fans of the MK video game.

4. Personally, I enjoyed the movie. And the part I loved most is the plot twist when Cole was fighting Sub-Zero. It was superb. Then there's Kung Lao's fatality. Liu's dragon. Kano and Sonya's feud was featured. Most importantly was how well the directors used Sub-Zero. He was in top form throughout the movie. Among many others.

5. I do feel the directors deliberately featured big names to appease the MK fans. For example, Goro wasn't necessary.

6. I also feel the directors tried to cramp too many features of the video game into the movie. Many went well but some didn't fit. For example, Reiko didn't do anything significant in the movie.

In summary.
I enjoyed the movie and believe every MK fan will. As for non MK fans, you might be disappointed.

Nairalanders, what do you think?

Adapting Video Games to Movies is not an easy job. Hollywood always try to make what they don't fully understand and will not even try understand, getting directors and writers that are not fans of a property to mess things up. Sadly Mortal Kombat 2021 falls in this category.

Nairalanders, what do you think?

sgtponzihater1:

Incognito403:
