Very slight spoilers, please go around if you mind. The full film is worth four stars.
Four tough guys! ! !
After reading a few low-scoring reviews, the low-scoring points given are focused on the moves, various middle and second brains, and the depth of the plot in the comparative animation version is too mentally retarded.
In fact, the 2021 version of "Mortal Kombat" is more sincere for a fan-favored movie.
1. Let me talk about the plot first. This is probably the most dissatisfied place for passersby and audiences. To be honest, the plot is really not flattering. If you are a passerby audience, you must feel that in the cloud, balabala is incomprehensible, you will start fighting if you don’t agree, and you will start fighting if you don’t say anything else, different world wars, absolute zero and the grievances of shoes, and the background stories of the protagonists running around. , Just kidding, what are these things? Seeing a ghost if you can understand it! As for game fans, there are too many omissions, and fans of different generations of games and protagonists will not buy it, such as this pseudo-fan who is typing a comment ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Either make up a plot so that a story will be understood, or give up the plot completely and focus on the fans. Both sides are not human, and both sides are scolded, and finally a plot is created in which passers-by and fans will not buy it. It is also not pleased by both sides, and it is not welcome.
But if you just watched the animated version of "Scorpion's Revenge" to talk about the plot, it can be said to be too young too simple, sometimes navie.
The story posted above is the story of the movie. The director's skill is really deep. The four sentences on the screen sum up the entire game and movie story. NB!
As a pseudo-fan, if I remember correctly, before the 7th generation of Mortal Kombat, the game rarely talked about the plot, and after the 7th generation, the storyline began to talk about the plot in depth, but because there are too many characters in the past and each generation has New characters are added, and the relationship between the characters and the story line is basically in a state of chaos. For example, the extremely popular Absolute Zero, this buddy is a badass in the movie, but it is estimated that even the real fans can't tell whether it is or not. The fact that the camp changes back and forth is purely possessed by two or five boys.
Having said so much nonsense, what I want to point out is that this movie or the source of the game has not much plot at all, the only plot is to fight! You read that right, the plot is just a fight! As for the 2021 version of the movie, it can be said that the restoration is quite in place. The audience may think that bullshit is unreasonable, but in fact, the essence of bullshit is the essence. If you find games after the 7th generation to play or watch videos, you will find that various characters say a few words and then play indiscriminately. A plane is really normal, and all the plots revolve around fights.
Therefore, the plot of this movie is not for passers-by audiences, but for fans. It is originally a movie that originated from fighting games where I don’t know what plot is being told. You are a bit embarrassing. Don’t you see that the plot of "Resident Evil" is so distracting to the game adaptation of the movie? ╮(╯▽╰)╭
2. Regarding all kinds of brain damage. I won’t mention the story of the brain damage, as mentioned above, the original game is quite brain damage. Talk about the role.
Compared to the brain-dead plots in the usual bad movies, the male protagonist Cole has really reached a new height. Regardless of acting skills, the male protagonist's performance along the way is quite satisfactory. In the final battle in the cage, life and death can still be spared, and shaved ice bravely rescues his wife and daughter. I don't know if I want to reflect the greatness of love or the depth of love. as countless shiteater reading bad films, I have never in action pieces ever seen to such a high degree of residual brain-dead plot and intelligence sudden drop wise protagonist! It is estimated that the audience sighed like me. It was quite enjoyable to watch the play. When it was reaching its climax, when the scene turned, the male protagonist was actually shaving ice.
For other characters, such as Liu Kang, Kong Lao, and Shan Shui, a number of Asian characters, you really can't say that they are second in middle school, they are actually quite reductive, and there is such a set of dialogues in the game. . . . . . It can only be said that these second- and third-line actors appear in this film to play too many roles that can show their faces and have more than 10 lines of lines. They are not suitable for ordinary people.
3. Moves.
The fast-paced fighting moves in the game are top-notch even the previous generations 20 or 30 years ago, let alone compare with the latest generation of moves. It is no exaggeration to say that in games, movies, and dramas. There is no one that can hit a field, it is the existence of air every second, every second.
In this film, many fighting moves are also relatively restored to the moves in the recent games, such as Scorpion’s classic "Come to Lord", Liu Kang’s serial kick, and absolute zero ice wall fall, etc., which are relatively successful. It's a pity that no matter how successful the restoration of the move, it can't change the fact of weakness.
The moves are too soft, really soft, no amount of blood, no amount of collisions can not change the fact that the movements are soft.
Not to mention the top martial arts movies of domestic actors such as Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and Wu Jing. Since the appearance of The Bournemouth, many foreign dramas can basically be seen in China, but I never thought it was the direct mirror of this film. After more than 20 years of going backwards, it is not easy to be able to shoot such a soft girly move in 2021. I really don’t know if it’s the lack of ability or the director Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has watched too much, or maybe the director’s and photographer’s skills have not been reflected. The routine of Ang Lee Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Chinese Guda heroes in the super-hardcore fight scenes that are very commonplace. Some go too far. Although the heroes of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are anti-gravity, they can use martial arts. But it’s only fast, but when it comes to Mortal Kombat’s pros and cons, the true superpowers and anti-gravity possessed heroes have become junior players in the second-tier martial arts school in Songshan, Henan. This is a bit too unreasonable.
4. Role restoration
The characters are sprayed less, after all, the circle of this game is too small, and the country is even smaller and pitiful. The character reduction degree is relatively high, of course, the landscape reduction is not very reliable, and most of the others are pretty good.
The comparative failure is that Mileena, the "Split Girl", only missed her teeth at the last minute. This is a bit of a problem with fans. Either you wear a mask or you expose it all the way. In the last second, which vampire grows teeth, which one is considered?
Some of them are more serious and can’t stand the role played by the black girl. What I want to say is that you guys who are more real "guawazi" are really fake fans. Both of us and the sisters of her race are not quite white. As a higher level of fake fans and true fans, they are really her teeth and the two murder weapons on the chest! In the movie, showing the two real "weapons" on the chest of the characters is the biggest finishing touch of this movie!
================================================== ===========================
After talking about a lot of shortcomings, why did you give it 4 stars?
As mentioned in the above description, most of the moves are more restorative, the plot is more restorative (although there is no plot, just one word, dry), most of the characters are more restorative, and the finishing moves are more restorative. In short, the degree of reduction is relatively high!
As fans and pseudo-fans, when you see the classic combos of each character, I believe you have already defaulted to more than 3 stars in your heart. When digging your heart, I believe that your hearts have already scored more than 4 stars. If you haven’t scored 5 stars, then Scorpion’s sentence "get over here", yes, this sentence is already worth 5 stars.
When you see the Johnny Cage poster, the easter egg on the wall at the end of the movie, I believe you are already looking forward to the next movie.
What? Why did I get 4 stars as a pseudo-fan as the author? It's not the many shortcomings on the line. . . . . . .
Let’s find the difference and see who can find the character O(∩_∩)O haha~
