Mystery Mortal Kombat Trailer Will Blow You Away

I think you should chill a little bit there. I'm sure anyone who has "modified" their body willingly is well aware there are a large amount of people who would look at it as mutilation. It isn't like people are trying to offend you by saying it, it's just the way people feel when they see those pictures. And I don't see anyone discriminating, unless you think having an opinion is automatically discrimination without any actions to back it up.Wedlock49 said:
My boyfriend and I were watching this and both REALLY perked up when we found out who the shady guy in the video was! Muaahahaha.
By virtue of how awesome that looked, I'm willing to forgive the completely messed-up storyline. Hell, I'm even willing to forgive giving Baraka dreads. This looks AMAZING.
Holy shit. I never thought they would come out with a decent Mortal Kombat movie. This puts it into a completely new perspective and I must have more. PS: Liu Kang better show up or I'll kick fuckin' puppy.
We are all aware that people look down on it but that shouldn't stop us from trying to excepted as people who live differently, the discrimination bit was used to proove a point. It would be against the law for you too insult someone because they followed islam or were catholic I feel the same should apply to modified people, for some people it's just a fashion accesorie but for others it very much is a way of life and seated in very powerful emotional and spiritual circles.chronobreak said:
Didn't the first Mortal Kombat have some great advertisement that made it a hit even though the movie was pretty silly and even more so stupid? Just saying, an advertisement department can make anything look good.Andy Chalk said:
The first MK movie wasn't really that bad. Yeah, it was cheesy, but it was also the 90's. A lot of action/sci-fi/fantasy spliced movies in that age were pretty... bad.Tiamat666 said:
The second MK movies, was just a bad idea all around. The actors were a huge problem, but so was the concept.
The TV show, MK Conquest, was pretty cheesy too but it had some good ideas.
With the types of effects and CGI that can be done today, a much better MK movie (that sticks to the original plot) could be made. Problem I see, is that of 'CGI fest, plot doesn't matter' and the franchise would take an even harder nose-dive.
They tried to milk it for as long as possible, but they went too far (with the games) and now people are just tired of it.
As for this new movie... eeeeh, it looks interesting, and is more literally 'Mortal' Kombat. But it doesn't have the same feel. To me, there is a heavy element from the SAW series to make it more appealing.
EDIT: Someone mentioned Watchmen in another post... and I very much agree that this has a Watchmen feel (a movie that I didn't like that much).
well they was a rumor floating about that they where making a new mortal kombat since DC vs MK totaly flopped face first, alot of games are making live action trailers so it might me a movie or a game, where just gona have to wait and see what happens. but fingers crossed its for the game, the movie sounds quite good in theory but lets just wait and see what happensAndy Chalk said:
So, because it's the future we have to like it?Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon said:For all you nostalja ridden dicks sayng this is not mortal kombat go fuck an NES or somthing maybye itl open your minds. Welcome to the future baby. OT: I think it's a game mybye a homage to the origanle (wasnt the actions filmed or somtin) I do not no for I am just a lowly 14 year old
That's as bad as the 'nostalgia ridden dicks' you try to bash.
It's simple, some of the fan-base likes the older elements and mysticism of the original game/story, some like having a more modern and 'believable' take on it.
Stop trying to bash nostalgia when you're just as bad in your defense of the future.
Where do you live where you can't insult someone's choice of religion without facing legal consequence? At least where I'm at, in America, that would not get you thrown in jail. It is perfectly legal, albeit rude to insult religion, hell, watch Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO one of these days. Keep trying to be accepted, that is your right as an individual, sure, but if I go around dressed in all black with a cape and a top hat I wouldn't frown upon people giving me funny looks or insults, if I was wearing it by choice. It isn't anyone else's problem that the "modifiers" believe it is a "way of life".Wedlock49 said:
Maybe you should have a little more respect for the opinions of others, it may open your mind.Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon said:
Am I the only one who thought the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie wasn't bad? I am not saying it was particularly good and it certainly was cheesy as hell, but it had good production value and it did well at what it was intended to be, a decent action flick. The sequel, on the other hand, was horrible on all levels...
Anyway, this movie seems to essentially be a more realistic reboot of the original. I actually really like the trailer. That said, trailers sometimes tend to be quite misleading, so we need to wait to see how the actual movie pans out.
Regardless of how it turns out, however, I guess it is time once again for...
