Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 17, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2021 Paul King not directing it does give me slight cause for concern, but anything approaching the level of the first two would be more than welcome.

Paid Members Murtz Posted February 19, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2021 I know the two from the 90s were not very good, but this looks pretty great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I can see it doing pretty well, Mortal Kombat's resurgence over the past couple of console generations has been huge. But I'm still not expecting it to be at all good, I'm trying to think of good movies based on video games and can only come up with Detective Pikachu.

Prince of Persia was surprisingly alright? 🤷🏽 it's definitely slim pickings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternate take: the original film from the 90s is fun and the only good video game film ever made. Captures the spirit of the games, doesn't take itself too seriously, looks great and has a banging soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 20, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 20, 2021 If that's what you're into then the Dead or Alive film hits all those notes and has Kevin Nash in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted February 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 20, 2021 I don't understand why that Kano lad is shooting a laser out of his eye though. It was a bit underwhelming, was that trailer. I think this movie will be like lounging on a bed with your chin drilled into your chest, watching your mate go the distance on the game. Just more of an obligation to watch it, more than anything else. I'll never forget the giddiness I felt when I saw this, though. Jazz handing all over the shop. An absolute hair on the necker backer stander upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First season was actually really good. If you've never seen it, it's worth a couple of hours of your time. The Johnny Cage story in particular was a great watch. The second season was poxy though, with nonsensical recastings and a complete disregard for the first season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
