    I think it looks pretty good. Will definitely watch it when it's out on HBO Max

    I agree usually but they're making an Uncharted movie with Tom Holland and Marky Mark for next year. I think that's an easier video game type to translate into a movie ...and this Mortal Kombat movie can't be any worse than the one from the 90s so I have some hope

    Yeah Uncharted is a pretty cinematic franchise so that might work. MK on the other hand... Has there ever been a good fighting game adaption? I think they made a Dead Or Alive movie which s----d badly lmao. Anyways if 21 Savage made the move soundtrack, like he did for the latest MK game, I'll definitely give it a shot

    The trailer looks fantastic. It seems like they are actually trying to do this right and not just throwing a movie together and putting a mortal kombat logo on it for a money grab.


    When sub zero sliced dude and then froze his blood and stabbed him. That was bad AF

    Thank god! I’m also excited that they want to really expand the universe later on. I know a lot of people are mad that Johnny cage isn’t in it. But there’s always the next movie. Or maybe even a solo movie. Who knows. Maybe a Johnny cage hbo series...

    I could definitely see some MK HBO series In the future.

    I believe HBO usually drops new releases at 3am PT, but I could be wrong
