    Woke up at 3am and was like I got two hours before my alarm goes off for work... got up started watching it. About 10-15 min in I fell asleep. The dialogue definitely sucks. But I’m sure I can get past that as long as the fight scenes meet the hype.

    They’re pretty awful. Mildly entertaining in a so bad it’s good kinda way, but not to the extent that I’d seek them out watch them of my own free will.

    Fun Fact: The director for the RE movies only kept making them because of MK: Annihilation. The same guy directed the first MK movie and left before Annihilation. He saw how garbage it turned out and vowed to never leave a franchise again.

    It's far from great, but it was watchable I guess. Kinda forgettable though.

    MK is a fighting game. If you go into this movie wanting a good story line. You’ll be disappointed. If you go into the movie wanting action, blood and fatalities... you’ve come to the right place.

    as a movie it’s not great. But what I wanted from a mortal kombat film it delivered .

    When kung laos hat did the spinning saw thing on the ground, I thought they were gonna tease it and cop out but then she slid right through and split down the middle and I’ll call the movie a 10/10 for that alone

    also Sonyas hot

    Edit: actually not a 10/10 they shouldn’t have had goro in the movie at all if that’s how they wanted to do him

    I prefer Godzilla Vs Kong and we all knew what it was gonna be. Monsters fighting and stupid humans.

    MK is honestly one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Seen it 3 times already

    Just watched it. Loved it.

    Wasted Goro potential but overall it was great imo.

    Johnny Cage at the end was a dope nod to the next film. Cant wait!
