This looks cool as shit. I'll probably never watch it.

I'm with you. A Mortal Kombat movie doesn't need to be of high quality to be entertaining. Encouraging: they actually let us watch the fight between Cage and Baraka instead of jump-cutting it into incomprehensibility.

It one me over at the point where Baraka did his finishing move. It looks like the quintessential popcorn movie.

are you guys completely retarded? this looks like the dumbest, most half-assed lazy piece of shit movie since STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN LEE

It does have a stunning cliche-per-minute count, though. Watch out, George Lucas, your record is under threat.

Reptile is a harlequin baby serial killer that eats peoples heads for dinner.

How can anyone not love that.

I agree with revdrew. I never even liked Mortal Kombat and I still thought this was entretaining as hell. My kind of stupid.

Also: DY-NO-MITE! DY-NO-MITE!

Xiphias, Mortal Kombat was the dumbest, most half-assed lazy piece of shit video game ever. That's largely why it's the only fighting game I can stomach.

Oh, don't get me wrong, this is a piece of shit. But it's arguably the most unintentionally entertaining piece of shit the Mortal Kombat franchise has produced in over a decade.

I could probably write a novel's worth of snarky comments just based on this trailer.

I have got to see the whole thing. It'll be like a cheat code for infinite ammo.

My favorite part of the horrible Chun Li movie was that the bad guy had an Irish accent because his parents were Irish, even though he'd grown up an orphan in Thailand.

PS: I'm a faggot and Scorpion was my favorite character.

I'll sit through anything to see Subzero in action...

This looks like shit.

It's almost like that's the point of this site or something.

more like "Holy shit this looks awesome!"

I think you meant to say "Awesome! This looks like shit!"

if i wanted to give this shit stars they'd be all for tamago

Seriously dude.

5 cause this is evil a hell, but fuck this movie they killed off Johnny Cage. That guy was cheesy and awesome in the games, how do you kill off a dude based of the main character from Bloodsport!?

Was this shit done by the same people behind the recent Streetfighter movie?

Because Johnny Cage is TOO VANILLA for Frank Miller presents Rob Liefeld's Grim n' Gritty Mortal Kombat! Only deformed weirdos and exposition-vomiting cops may apply!

Also: Somewhere in the American south there's a person who's never heard of Baraka and thinks they used that name to imply that the president is a serial killer. They will go see this based solely on that assumption.

Johnny Cage always gets killed, he got killed in MK2 and kept being dead the rest of the series.

i'm pretty sure Liu Kang was sacrificed for the Scorpion payoff near the end, which shouldn't be a big deal for anyone, considering his character can be neatly summed up as "asian guy with headband who does bicycle kicks"

I don't know about you, but the Super Mario Bros. Movie was the Super Mario Bros. movie of my generation.

I could use more super mario brothers movies, so yea sure

Me too. Fluffy, I think we are older than God to a lot of others here; god being in his/her 30s.

I saw the Mario Bros movie in theaters when it originally came out, I remember being confused as fuck as to the lack power-ups and why now in retrospect Toad was Mojo Nixon.

Kung Lao is a psychotic haberdasher who kills with his deadly hats. Then he makes new deadly hats out of the victims' skin.

Goro is now a steroid-addicted Chinese guy who killed his parents and sewed their arms to his torso. Somehow he can move them. Also he eats babies because why not.

The sad thing is you probably just predicted more or less what they will do with those characters.

If I may add, princess Kitana is gonna be an underground pornstar who does snuff films...except she's doing the killing! and its REAL!!!

Yes, so sad, God forbid anyone messes with the creative brilliance and sanctity of such a dignified and original franchise such as Mortal Kombat.

Actually my beef isn't that is such a brilliant concept,its more the fact that what is in the game is infinitely more interesting then the trying too hard to be grim and gritty shit we just watched.

you mean to tell me ninja hell demon scorpion from the game who rips his fucking face off and breaths fire isn't as interesting as the HUMAN asshole they just passed off as scorpion?

At the end of the day I'm not a huge fan of the series, but I can appreciate some of the more fantastic and at times badass characters the game had (well up till MK2, everything else after that is far to retarded for even me to enjoy).

To see them defeat the point of a ludicrous over the top violent fighting game by making it more "realistic" is just all kinds of dumb. Its like trying to make a realistic MegaMan movie.

More like the kind of gonzo retardation that started with Van Damme from Bloodsport fighting Lightning from Big Trouble In Little China AND WENT ON FROM THERE was the only redeeming feature the MK franchise (in any form) ever had.

I'm pretty sure her name is Jeri Ryan oh whatever why do I even care

She was coerced into being in this trailer by her ex-husband, Jack Ryan, who has a fetish for humiliation.

I'm sure Kano will show up. I totally called it being Scorpion as soon as I saw that chain spike go through that dude's neck.

Also, this looks terrible. So naturally I'll go see it.

"I totally called it being Scorpion as soon as I saw that chain spike go through that dude's neck."

Really?

certainly an ex-movie star would be the best candidate for undercover police work

Also: It's Jax motherfucker! At least spell it correctly!

sorry, not meant as a reply here

@manning kull: Huh?

Yep

I'm sure the interdimensional part is cut because that's ridiculous! (Strange mutants and an improbable tournament are still A-OK, though.)

If you had been PAYING ATTENTION he could have left at any time. He gave himself up willingly for some reason and decided to hang around in jail also for some unknown reason.

Maybe he enjoys the company.

THIS MOVIE WOULD SUCK BECAUSE IT DONT HAVE DEMONS AND LIGHTNING GODS IN IT AND THEY DID JAX'S MOUSTACHE WRONG

*draws a unicorn on his trapper keeper*

whoops didnt mean to reply

Being better than terrible doesn't make you good.

Start reading comments

I am pretty sure they would hire you to write the script

Everyone on the site is some form of nerd.

I counted six errors in established canon in the first minute alone (NOT including the spelling of his name on the door, which, while looking like an error to the casual fan, is actually correct). That's not "nerdy", that's just attention to detail.
