Mortal Kombat 2021 was legit awesome.

Good action, fun story, silly but awesome powers right from the games.

Just what the fans wanted.

Also the best video game movie made so far.

So #MortalKombat 2021 is the BEST video game movie of all time!!!! I hope we get multiple sequels, there are some issues and I’ll talk about some spoilers later on but my thoughts..

Pros – Characters/Portrayals, the fight scenes and fan service

Cons – Story and Runtime

I’m saying it now. Mortal Kombat is the best video game movie to date. It was the movie we needed and a brilliant first edition to the MK universe. Crazy! Hats off to the @TheLewisTan & the cast. That last scene though. #Fire

Mortal Kombat: The best game adaptation I've ever saw. Sub-Zero and Scorpion are the best. That is how you adapt a game for fans #MortalKombatMovie

The new #MortalKombat is cool, but I still say the 1995 version is the best video game adaptation out there.

Pure 90s fun pic.twitter.com/mXEOo0fZQe

The new Mortal Kombat follows MMA fighter Cole Young who is unaware of his legacy. Or that the evil Emperor of Outworld Shang Tsung has also sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero to hunt him. Rightfully, fearing for the safety of his family, Cole sets out to find a special forces major who also carries the same strange dragon as Cole.

Soon he finds himself in the temple of Lord Raiden. Here, Cole prepares to take on Earth’s greatest champions against enemies of Outworld in a battle across the universe. But will Cole be under enough pressure to unlock his arcane – the power in his soul – in time to save his family and stop Outworld?

Simon McQuoid directs Mortal Kombat from a screenplay by Greg Russo.

Mortal Kombat stars Joe Taslim (Sub Zero), Ludi Lin (Liu Kang), Jessica McNamee (Sonya Blade), and Mehcad Brooks (Jax). Plus, Josh Lawson (Kano), Chin Han (Shang Tsung), Hiroyuki Sanada (Scorpion), Tadanobu Asano (Raiden), and also Sisi Stringer (Mileena).

The MPAA slapped the new movie with an R-rating. It’s for strong bloody violence and language throughout and also some crude references.

Mortal Kombat is in theaters and also HBO Max RIGHT NOW!
