"Mortal Kombat", another well-known series of games has been released as a movie version. There are lessons from "Street Fighter", "King of Fighters", "Tekken" and other past lessons. It seems that the movies adapted from these fighting games should not have too much expectations. .
Sure enough, there are only two things to watch in the whole movie: one is blood splattered, and the film is rated as "under 17 years old need to be accompanied by parents to watch" in the United States; the other is that the protagonist’s wife is pretty pretty, but unfortunately there are not many shots.
1. Actors and roles.
This movie brings together many Asian faces that are relatively well-known in Hollywood.
The actor Hiroyuki Sanada, many domestic audiences who see him will inevitably think of Zhang Dongjian’s silly sentence: "Yes, master!" Another is that he was hammered by Uncle Long in "Rush Hour 3". "Lian 4" was hammered by Hawkeye.
This movie plays Scorpion, one of the most important roles in the "Mortal Kombat" series of games, either in revenge or on the road to revenge. In the movie, the meaning of existence is mainly to serve as a background setting.
Tadanobu Asano, the one who is most familiar to Chinese audiences is probably his participation in "Detective Chinatown 3". In addition, he has played a dragon set with lines in both the "Thor" series and "Super Warship".
In the movie "Mortal Kombat" playing Raiden, audiences who are not familiar with the game can't tell that this character is actually the patron saint of the world. In the movie, thunder and lightning are useless and brainless, especially the act of teleporting the awakened protagonist back is really inexplicable. He was supposed to take everyone to escape, so why did he let the protagonist come back and show his face before running? Is it not good to rendezvous directly elsewhere? As a result, Kongo was forcibly killed by plot.
Huang Jinghan has left the country in films such as "2012", "The Dark Knight", and " Independence Day: Comeback ".
This movie plays Shang Zong. From beginning to end, he has a concave shape and decoration. It does not play any role, and it does not show the characteristics of the role at all. Replace him with any villain BOSS in the game. The plot is established.
Joe Taslim, showed his face in "Fast and Furious 6" and has a good performance in the American drama "Warrior".
This movie plays the role of avoiding the cold, that is, the first generation of absolute zero. The overall situation is okay, but the ups and downs of combat power are a bit inexplicable. For a while, even if everyone besieged together, they may not be able to beat him. Was hammered.
Lin Ludi, a relatively popular flow niche in the past two years, no need to introduce more.
This movie plays Liu Kang. In the game, he is an important role that has saved the earth four times. In the movie, he becomes a pure dragon.
There is one thing to say, Lin Ludi’s handsome features and strong muscles are indeed suitable for acting Liu Kang, but his acting skills are really flawed. Not to mention that there is no drama in his eyes. The physical movements are almost like singing, even on stage. You don't need to be so ostentatious. The embarrassment makes people get goosebumps. The actor who plays the opposite role with him can be considered professional if he doesn't laugh.
Lewis Tan, a handsome guy with a height of 188cm, has participated in the American drama "The Waste Land" starring Daniel Wu.
This movie plays the protagonist, saying that he is the protagonist, but if you think about it carefully, if you remove this character, it won't affect the plot in any way. From the beginning to the end of the movie, it is emphasized that he possesses the blood of a scorpion, as if it is so powerful. In the end, the scorpion must return and do it personally. Scorpion and Shelter were singled out. He just shaved ice next to him, and it didn't work for a long time. In the end, he relied on the scorpion to spit out the fire to melt the ice, and the protagonist didn't do anything serious. The eagerness to save people is understandable, but should the director arrange a plot for the protagonist?
Most of the villains don’t even have lines, but they are full of slots. For example, Meilena’s face looks like a slit girl, and the back is quite Kardashian. The key is that after the mouth is split, a pair will be opened. Both visual sense, and then hung up directly.
When General Rico was carrying the hammer, his hammer was broken and the handle was broken, and he was directly blown up by Jax Bridges. It made people think of the line that Riodin asked Saul in "Thor 3": "You Is he the god of hammers?"
2. Fighting scenes.
The scenes of the whole movie are full of cheap style made with a strong low cost. The fighting scenes that should attract the most attention are only crappy tricks. Often the opponent's attack hasn't started yet, and this side has already begun to dodge...
3. The plot is incredibly weak.
The protagonist has a strong blood and does not know it. He lives the life of an ordinary person. He is suddenly chased and killed by the villain, rescued by a righteous partner, and then begins to train, become stronger, and save the world...Although it is old-fashioned, if you can shoot well It’s worth watching, but it’s a pity that this movie doesn’t allow the audience to watch it with their brains.
The protagonist left home to look for Blade Sonia in order not to hurt his wife and daughter. Then, because he hadn't practiced the profound meaning, he went home in despair...what the hell? Why are you not afraid of hurting your wife and daughter at this time?
I have been exaggerating before that if I want to find my own profound meaning, I must work hard to cultivate. As a result, all the characters understand the profound meaning and have nothing to do with cultivation. The most nonsensical is Kano. After being scolded, he suddenly understood the profound meaning; the most inexplicable is the blade. ·Sonia, after killing Kanuo to obtain the mark, she immediately grasped the profound meaning. In fact, many people including Liu Kang, Kanuo, and Jax obtained the mark by killing the original mark holder. , Why did they fail to comprehend the profound meaning directly? In that case, what are you still practicing? Liu Kang and Kong Lao simply think beating the protagonist is fun, right?
In order to win the fighting contest steadily, Shang Tsong did not follow the rules and led the villain to attack the Earth Guardian ahead of time. As a result, the attack method was still one-on-one. What's the difference between going to the fighting contest seriously?
After the attack, Kongo was killed by the plot, everyone was extremely frustrated, and they all said that the world was hopeless and the earth was over. At this time, the protagonist stood up and said, "It's not over yet, we have to continue fighting." Immediately, the background music sounded, and the others flashed their eyes together, rekindling their fighting spirit... The audience was full of question marks. Is a nonsense so inspiring? Can't the screenwriter write a line carefully?
In order to forcibly demonstrate the protagonist’s wisdom, everyone is willing to follow the protagonist’s arrangements. How clever is the battle plan made by the protagonist? It is still one-on-one separately! emmm? This is also called a plan? Isn’t it the same as the previous attack by the villain? The only difference is: in the previous battle, the director needs the villain to win, so the decent can't beat the villain; in the latter battle, the decent needs to win, so the villain can't beat the decent in a blink of an eye-it's really just a blink of an eye.
In short, this is a movie that the audience is not allowed to watch with their brains.
