Mystery Mortal Kombat Trailer Will Blow You Away

[Actual Charlie Nash]

wow a few haters at the moment >.> but who cares

SPAWN IS JAX

I recognize Sonya as a B list TV actress, and I'm pretty sure I've seen Jax somewhere too, this is more than an amateur film, but I somehow doubt it will become a major motion picture, we'll see with time.

 

[Zhukov]

That was hilarious.

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.

I agree with this. When they first showed Baraka, I was disappointed (I always liked Baraka). But it didn't take me long to clear my mind of my video game preconceptions and give this a chance. They did Baraka before "correctly" and it didn't translate well. If I want to see the mystical stuff...the original still exists. I'm excited for this new look and altered plot. I'm in!

I know but even though they were shitty they still felt more like Mortal Kombat than this movie. This movie is great but with a title like Mortal Kombat it feels like it is trying to hard to be something else.

Personally, i think its very cheesy. NO ONE TALKS LIKE THAT. But apparently I'm a minority here. A realistic setting applied to what is essentially supernatural, where the supernatural stuff somehow gets lost in translation doesn't do it for me.

 

[neoontime]

Hmm, it might be interesting to watch how they got their powers.

 

[Kragg]

That trailer was terrible, and I sincerely hope that this is a cruel joke or fan made project.

fanmade with professional actors? maybe bill gates is a fan or something

come on now though, that was amazing, let go of the no-story fantasy of the nineties. let things evolve.

It is not like they are all friends now and opened up a gardening shop

 

[nick n stuff]

i wouldn't get your hopes up. how many video game movies have actually been good?

 

[Broken Orange]

I remember way back then, before DC vs. Mortal CKombat, how they were talking about how they are going to completely change up the series for the then-next gen consoles. This must be the real change to the series. Not that I was a hardcore fan of the series, Mortal Kombat had lost it's touch, and the only reason it was popular was the gore. Best of luck for the series.

"Find Shang Tsung and FINISH HIM "

I see what you did there

 

[Sovvolf]

Hold up.... was the Michael Jai White playing Jacks... hell yeah.... I'm looking forward to this. I like the new take on it... could make a plausible movie.

 

[Valksy]

Liked the look of it - please please can we go back to 18/hard R and stop pussy-footing around for fucking children.

Want to see more fight scenes. Want to see more of those long shots rather than fucking jump cuts all over the place. I want to see the grace and elegance of the martial arts, not look like some one is having a fit.

And Jeri Ryan. Love her. OK love her more as 7of9 but damn, get the woman some decent work.

IMDB says 2013 release date so don't hold your breath.

 

[Bagaloo]

Hell yes. They just need to use the MK theme in there, as well as having Scorpion use the line "GET OVER HERE" at least once, probably against the big bad.

No, it's not true to the MK spirit. Yes, MK is in need of a reboot. Two thumbs up, home this is going to be a decent film.

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 can see where he goes wrong though, the guy chose to modify his body, the way i see the trailer is baraka went mad, deforming his body not out of free will but out of psychological problems. the actor on the other hand has body mods, but i doubt the huge blade in arm thing can be categorised as a mod instead a mutilation

 

[Camarilla]

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?

Sub Zero's clan, the Lin Kuei, wasn't destroyed, it was Scorpion's clan, the Shirai Ryu, that was destroyed, by Quan Chi. Sub Zero (the elder, who later became Noob Saibot) killed Scorpion while looking for Shinnok's amulet for Quan Chi, who then destroyed the Shirai Ryu at the request of the Lin Kuei Grandmaster.

Wasn't it Sub-Zero's clan who were transformed into the cyborgs...?

Three of them were, Cyrax, Sektor and Smoke (albeit unwillingly), the rest were not.

No, you misunderstand. Baraka has always been my favorite character and after seeing the new design he's even more so. Having his modifications described as mutiliation however is offensive... though I would go as far as to say the blades in the forearms would be mutilation as there's no way that it could be done without causing massive damage and leaving a high risk of infection.

Also, in reading some comments, I notice that a lot of people are resistant to change, my response to that is: babies
