Mortal Kombat: 3.5/5 Stars To start off, I would say this movie has been clearly created in such a way which will ultimately divide the audience in two sections. 1. Those who are pleased, neglecting the flaws and 2. Those who will criticize it due to an underdeveloped screenplay. To be honest, I kinda find myself on the latter position, but as the movie passes on, the entertainment is brilliant. The plot is good, similar to it's previous Games and 1995 Original movie. It's the Mortal Kombat tournament and the Outworld, your typical BAD GUYS, are doing BAD THINGS. I will come directly to the point of pros and cons. Pros: The performances are great. Cole Young didn't bothered me. He is a good addition and a clear character. Tan portrays him in a good way. The standouts, who stole the show are definitely Scorpion, Sub Zero and Kano. Sanada, Taslin and Lawson are nothing short from brilliance. The comedic timing of Kano is great. I honestly need more of this Scorpion and Sub Zero. The other characters: Blade, Raiden, Jax are okay. Not bad to watch,  they're fun too. But compared to them, Kung Lao and Liu Kang are Awesome. The violence, brutality and FATALITY is seriously one of the most goriest things on screen. Jaw dropping gore. Especially, the FATALITY of Kung Lao.... hahahaha superb. McQuoid did a supreme job to light up the audience with violence. The action and the background score are nothing which can be said diminishing. Works perfectly. Especially in the last 45 minutes. Flawless victory I have to say. Cons: The characterization of Shang Tsung is the one I didn't dig. His motives aren't shown more desperately. He just wants to cheat and win. No that ain't enough, give something more! The screenplay clearly shows how much more is left out. Some characters are.. just there. They appear on screen without any type of story behind and there you go, you know them. That's it, no characterization. There is no Real Mortal Kombat Tournament shown. Also no kind of justice given to show how much more the World Of Mortal Kombat Tournament really is. It's soo much fast paced, it misses many many vital points of explanation. Feels hollow. The runtime should've been 30 minutes more. Director McQuoid said that the acion sequences are something never seen on screen before, sorry it wasn't that spectacular. These kind of action is seen before, nothing new. Overall, I'll say the movie isn't bad. Definitely watchable, one or two times. You'll enjoy. Idk whether it works out well for the gamers and the hardcore MK fans over the years, but for the general audience, it's kinda watchable and definitely enjoyable flick with some shining and cheerful moments to watch, ultimately making a somewhat satisfying experience. Far away from being a perfection, but some crucial action, acting and direction saves it from going to hell. Mortal Kombat: 3.5/5 Stars

After a long time, everyone, especially the Marvel Studios' fans has a chance to watch their latest movie in theatres. And to be honest they will be pleased and they SHOULD watch this in theatres. You will get everything you need from a Marvel flick. Shang Chi And The Legend Of Ten Rings gives a new look at a new hero. It's fresh and it's entertainment at best. To start with positive aspects, the performance as usual are Good. Marvel never misses their castings. Everyone gave their best. Especially the leads Liu and Lueng. Both portrayed themselves perfectly. I was expecting Awkwafina to be a cringe, but she didn't disappointed. Action just brilliant, flawless. The screenplay is elegant. Seeing what new Marvel is showing and what more is about to come will crave fans and everyone for more. Especially the concept of Ten Rings. The mysticism and spiritual material is displayed brilliantly. Fantasy at it's peak. The CGI is just.. flawless as usual. Works tooo damn neat. The bad aspects of the movie I consider is the Wenvu's (Leung) unsatisfactory agenda. He's clearly a brilliant intimidating villian but with his agenda, he seems nothing but a Delusional guy. The Wong and Abomination arc shown in the trailers fails to deliver any justice. The guy, so they say "Death Dealer" was supposed to be a prominent badass, but they wasted his potential. And Marvel can't keep re-using the formula of "Big Third Act",  "Good vs. Evil", with loads of CGI, they have to use and start giving new screenplays for climax. (also the last thing with Katy being sudden Hawkeye in the climax is just.. facepalm. No way they did that!) Nevertheless, the movie works fine. Along with superb cinematography, good direction and decent background score. Go watch this movie, you'll enjoy and have a good time. Must watch. Not a definite Marvel Masterpiece, but works and balances well with Humor and Outstanding Action. Shang Chi And The Legend Of Ten Rings: 4/5 Stars.
