Not 100% rotten but also 70% rotten

I basically haven't touched the original work, because I don't like to play fighting games, but I have watched some videos and don't understand the story, but I know that the selling point of this IP is bloody violence. It's ok, the scale of the movie is good, although it is more explosive than in the game. There are still reservations about the balls and the spine being pulled out, but it's okay. But I don't think it's enough to restore the bloody violence. The action scenes in this film are really too hip, it's true The best part of the movie is the first episode of sheltering from the cold and killing the whole family of Hanzo. If you think that the first episode is just as good, that's fine, not to mention the feature film. ——This director's shot scheduling level is really low. Throughout the whole film, the camera will push, pull and rotate when you are playing. You don't even need a super high-speed camera. The only thing that caused the strongest shock in the whole movie was the actions of Sanada Hiroyuki and Joe Taslim, and the protagonists collapsed across the board. , the actor is not from a family background and his own strength can't support the scene, even if he doesn't want to switch up and down the frame, it really doesn't work. You can draw frames, but it's really true, the motion blur and the slow movement of the mirror will directly fix it for you. Soft, if it weren't for a few bloody executions - smashing the head, splitting the head, digging the stomach and gutting, and opening a big hole in the abdominal cavity, the battle of the protagonist group really makes people fall asleep. The only thing worth watching in this movie is the rivalry between Sanada Hiroyuki and Jota Slim - two duels, the beginning of the movie to avoid the cold and destroy the door and the end of the scorpion's revenge, and at the end, this scene where the male protagonist is drawn to the water and soy sauce , destroys the sense of rhythm, so I say that the best action scene in the whole film is still in the first 7 minutes. There is nothing to say about the plot of the whole movie. It’s really just the grievance between Scorpion and Bihan. So if the director gets this script, I’ll just put my perspective on the villain. Bihan is the male protagonist, chasing after him. The weak chicken protagonist of this movie destroys the protagonist, and the growth of the protagonist is all down. It didn't end, and then the climax was the one-on-one duel between the scorpion's return and the two men who came with them. Finally, to avoid the cold and then talk about "for Lin Gui" dying in the hands of the scorpion, I think it will be much more exciting. It's really a boring movie... Besides, Sanada Hiroyuki and Joe Taslim are really handsome and temperamental. The other actors are bad and boring.

Mortal Kombat quotes

  • Liu Kang: All you can do now is test your might. We have no time to lose. You must unlock your arcana.

  • Cole Young: Liu, how do I find my arcana?

    Liu Kang: It must come from your soul. Whatever it is that drives you.

    Cole Young: So, how did you find your arcana?

    Liu Kang: Unlike Kung Lao, I was just a worthless stray. For reasons beyond my ken, Master Bo' Rai Cho found me half-dead in the gutter and brought me to the Wu Shi Academy. There, I was given a purpose. A brother... Kung Lao. And I met Lord Raiden, who Kung Lao and I have served together. Upon graduation, I was given a name of a man. He was a purveyor of rare things. Children. Orphans like me. He had a marking. So, I chose to take it from him. And in that moment, my arcana came forth.
