Anyone else reminded of Batman Begins? Not that that's a bad thing of course.

And no..

It looks like crap.

That is NOT the Mortal Kombat I know..
Wah wah wah.

The best part about this is you actually see the fights, none of that Jason Bourne crap where the camera man has a seizure every three seconds.

Tell me where you see "Jason Bourne" as director.
A little clarification; The Bandit is referring to the handheld 'shaky-cam' style of camerawork that has become fashionable for fight scenes since Paul Greengrass used the technique in The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.

Definitely an interesting take on the MK mythos, but it's not my Mortal Kombat. My Mortal Kombat is filled to the brim with sorcery, supernatural abominations, and vague goals. It's equal parts modern day/pseudo-future sci-fi and ancient East Asian mysticism, and that's how I like it. Sure, it's pretty campy by today's standards, but I have serious doubts as to whether Mortal Kombat was intended to be taken seriously in the first place. I mean, Johnny Cage's signature move is a nut check. Come on, now.

Long story short; less of whatever that is, more of this.

Did it look cool? Yes.
Did it try to pull off the whole "make something darker" concept that made Batman Begins better? Yes it did.
Is it Mortal Kombat? No.

Bring back outworld, the supernatural elements, the dark imagery, make the moves over the top, and please let this be a fake movie. It felt cheesy and stupid concept wise.

No, it is not.
This isn't Mortal Kombat, this is a dull trailer with a namesteal as it will not have anything to really do with Mortal Kombat at all judging from this trailer.
I love it when hilariously mistaken people try to insult others.

As far as "namestealing" goes, what name is there to steal? Mortal Kombat is shit now. No one likes it. When a franchise is shit, guess what you're supposed to do? Change it. Mix it up. Try to create something new to pique interest. That's what this movie's doing, and, whether it's good or not, they deserve props for trying.
.. Misstaken people?
Now you're only trolling.

Mortal Kombat is not about detective skills. Mortal Kombat is about a tournament to decide the outcome of the entire world. This, is, not, Mortal Kombat.

But fine, okay, it is Mortal Kombat.
JAX who funnily enough probably is the main character now will probably be the one who solves the case, wins the tournament and saves the world. This movie is nothing but an excuse to slap an good franchise name on to ruin it for an excuse for some +18 gore battles.
I really have to explain this to you. Fine.

Jason Bourne is a movie/book franchise. It is not a director. I was making no stabs at the original Mortal Kombat movie, but, in fact, was commenting on the recent action movie trend that involves showing as little of the action as possible, and, instead, shaking the camera a bunch.

Yes, you were mistaken. No, I was not trolling.

As far as the rest of your comment, there's no reason to comment on it. You've only restated your beliefs with different words. You dislike change. Your hatred of change is made even more obvious because you keep saying the same things over and over. You haven't commented on Mortal Kombat's irrelevance in today's world, or whether or not you believe a franchise should try something new when it's decaying. So, whatevs.

This didn't really feel like Mortal Kombat. I mean it looks like a great movie but the Mortal Kombat I know is over the top filled with crazy impossible attacks and magic fireballs.

Yeah, but videogame concepts and mechanics don't translate well to the big screen. Just look at the loads of crap that are the previous MK movies.
Or practically all other game movies, for that matter.

Hole... Lee... Shit. Hell, yeah. I seriously that that's a promo for a movie with none of this 3D gimmickry crap and sheer bloody brutality with the story line so far. If scorpion is the main character I'm all for it.

Body modification is not body mutilation and as a modified person myself I find his description to be offensive there are a lot of people who have altered their faces much like he has.
You finding baraka offensive is like people finding the twins in transformers offensive.

Ultimately it doesn't matter because its technically the view of a single person that is in the driving seat, you should embrace the free publicity to be honest, the market penetration of a "modification" (or whatever you call it) on a mainstream product is better than you could ever achieve just by yelling at people in the street that "its my choice".

Sorry but people get stuff wrong all the time, especially in films.

I have just been deafened by that trailers sheer AWESOMENESS. It's about time MK was rebooted, all the shock and so-called darkness it used to have looks silly and is more likely to make a modern audience laugh than get excited.

I thought it was gonna be Liu Kang in there rather than Scorpion, but then the yellow ninja is the more recognised poster boy.

Hmm, interested yet skeptical. It's a movie from a game, but then it is hardly based on the games' setting. Is that a good or bad thing? Either way, I doubt that I know anyone who'd want to see it

However, Sub-Zero was my favorite character! I thought he was the hero for some reason, didnt Scorpion kill off his entire clan or something?
Wasn't it Sub-Zero's clan who were transformed into the cyborgs...?
