I get why some kids are giving it high ratings but that's because they've not watched the very first film yet. Without any advanced technology back then, Mortal Kombat (1995) was amazing!
Firstly, this movie makes me think I'm watching an Asian film and not an English movie. There were lines in Japanese and Mandarin. I don't get why Raiden is Chinese and I could barely understand what he was saying. Please get an actor who is fluent in English if it's an English movie! I was missing Christopher Lambert, Robin Shou, Linden Ashby & Talisa Soto so badly. The graphics may not have been advanced back then but the story was good and so were the actors. The music was awesome but for the 2021 MK movie, it was horrible.
I felt that some actors were trying too hard. I got so bored half way through the movie that I decided to write a review. I didn't get goosebumps watching the fight sequences like I did in the first movie. I was numb!
In the first film, Johnny Cage was an actor and then he joined the tournament but in this film we didn't know who Johnny Cage was till the end. Confusing much? Where was kitana?
Such a disappointment as I thought it could have lived up to its predecessor. Guess I was wrong...
