>>200741862shit
Was the best vidya adaptation for years
excellent
>>2007418627/10
>>200741862I thought it was pretty shit, I will say that it has the old school soul look to it meaning it's better than any modern slop. But it was just not a great flowing movie. I was also disappointed that cammy was played by kyle Minogue. She's hot don't get me wrong, but I think cammy should have been sexier AND in the proper leotard with her fat ass cheeks out.
>>200741862I doesn't hold up but it was 10/10 for 11 yr old me in 95
For a movie based on a game that's known for pixelated blood and brutality, it's pretty great.
>>200741922What do you mean for years? Isn't it the best?
>>200741862I haven't played a single mortal kombat game but I thought this was a solidly alright movie.
>>200741976>cammyCammy is from Street Fighter. Sonya Blade is from MK
>>200741862REPTILE
>>200742028Let me hook you up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI-Takf76RY
Its pretty close to the game. I had the movie poster for this since my aunt that time was dating one of the cinema employees. He promised me he'll give me the poster once the movie ends its cinema run in which he did.
>>200741862It was a fun movie. Not sure what you'd expect from a movie based on MK anyway.
>>200742086Why did Hollywood pick fighting games as a means to adapt into a movie? They basically have a minimal story. They've done Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Street Fighter, Dead or Alive. It just seems weird when you have a ton of games that are primarily story based.
>>200741862kino
>>20074186210/10.
>>200742181Because traditionally martial arts movies have basically no plot. Mortal Kombat 95 has the same plot as Enter the Dragon.
>>200741979>I doesn't hold upFighting scenes still hold up so, minimum that
It's a tightly paced martial arts movie with a lot of soul. Not sure what more it needs to have.
>>200743791Kano so good, it changed how ingame Kano looked for years to come
>>200743791RIP Trevor.
Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole.

>>200741862It's baffling that this is still better than any story the actual mortal kombat franchise has come up with
BRILLIANT. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
>>200744601What is the story of the movie? Liu Kang wants to kill Shang Tsung for murdering his brother. So Liu Kang enters the tournament to act his revenge. In the meantime he fights known faces of the franchise until he finally fights and defeats Shang Tsung. Is that the story? As an MK fan, I think the story they have now is better than the movie's story.
>>200743916heh.
>>200744896This is the part where you fall down.
>>200744925its so very cool when he says it to goro
>>200741862A wonderfully imperfect movie
>>200743900simply ridiculous
>>200744864MK1’s story is hot trash. What the fuck are you smoking?
>>20074186210/10 and if you disagree you have no soul
>>200741862Unironically 10/10>tight pacing>solid story straight from the games>every character gets some time to shine>lots of memorable quotes>gorgeous sets and practical effects>godly soundtrackIf I was going to ding it a point for anything at all it would be the CGI effects aren’t the best but it’s basically just the short bit with Scorpion’s demon spear and the two or three times we see Reptile before he’s in human form. It’s used sparingly enough that it doesn’t bother me
>theme song plays during the final boss fightAbsolute 100% kino.
>>200741862I rate Mortal Kombat 1995 10 out of 10. Mortal Kombat 1995 is the greatest video-game film of all time and it has a fuckin' BANGER soundtrack. And it's infinitely better than that dogshit Mortal Kombat film from 2021. And Mortal Kombat 1995 is a rare example of an adaptation that actually IMPROVES its source material by giving Scorpion that cool beak at the end of his harpoon.
>>200741862probably has the best "tournament arc" storyline to the point it should have been looked at as a kinda blueprint for martial arts tournamet action movies
>>20074186210/10. Actors that were meant for the role.
>>200743791>play character from a game>your portrayal is so good that they change the character in the game to be based off of the movieNow that’s a performance
>>200745842this is from sequel. Has few good fight scenes so
>>200745879>this is from sequel.Yeah.
>>200742605back then people were used to these levels of sovl
annihilation has some good moments too. the begging fight with raiden and shao khan is like some video game acid trip
>>200742605What the fuck is this shit? Why aren't there 200 cuts per second with a shaky cam shoved up their asses?
>>200743900I don't believe for a second that she's special forces. But I do believe in those creamy supple thighs.
greatest vydia movie ever made
>>200746356Was asking that myself.
https://youtu.be/cIbHmItRsSw?si=CNjuEayvNYlxOWxV
>>200745842Loved the music from the fight between Jax and Cyrax.
Henry Cavil as Motaro and more Motaro in the movie
The sequel was so bad compared to the first movie despite sharing some of the actors and stunt actors it was hard to digest, this in my case even as a dumb 13 year old.
>>200745260Sub-zero's ice attacks were digital effects as well but they were the sort of thing that 90's CGI could do well so they look fine. Goro was probably the make or break decision for his film, if he was CGI it would have looked fucking awful. The animatronic version was the way to go.The fact that this is essentially a martial arts film where every fight is live in camera between guys who could actually do the moves is why it holds up so well. The sequel lost its way
>>200741862It’s a great movie. Siskel defended as such against a dismissive Ebert back when it first came out. Great sets/visuals, great music, great choreography. The reptile vs Liu Kang fight is easily one of the best fight scenes in movies.
>>200745908Terrible actress but my God she was hot
>>200745908>>200746818>Written by Christopher Judge
>>200746596>Christopher Lambert reads the script>immediately says "lolno">Linden Ashby says no>Bridgette Wilson says noyeah we all knew before the first trailer even came out.
>>200742010nta but objectively speaking assassin's creed and doom are far better game adaptations, but mortal kombat would be right behind them
>>200747051>assassin's creed
>>200744864Yes >the Not!Capeshit multiverse story is better hell no, that's even worse than Armageddon's storyline
Kino locations and sets.
>>200745908>It was sooooooo easy
>>20074186210/10https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f52VK8qTEoA
>>200746679>The whole time, Scorpion had a signed print of Johnny CageMust have been a bittersweet battle to be defeated by your beloved 90s Martial Arts action star.
11/10 a masterpiece & one of my favorites as a kid.
>>200747759This is from TV series later. But same actor for Scoprion i think
>>200747843Mortal Kombat Conquest yeah. Same stunt guys I believe.
>>200745034you sound like a marvelfag who's salty other people have done the multiverse story better than the msheu
sex with reptiles
>>200742605>the film pays homage to the game by keeping the camera to the side, creating the side-scrolling effect in the games>even when it changes angles the characters remain fighting in the side-scrolling stylehonest to god kino right there>>200747096you don't have to like it but it did do it objectively better
>>200747976also Kristanna Loken and her butchered lip job look like an NPC from Mass Effect 1
>>200747051I liked Assassin's Creed, but it was too much psuedo-Nolan for normies to accept. A split movie set in either timeliness saving the other for the sequel may have been best.
>>200747976
The movie was the best thing to happen to kano.
>>200748198Bitches leave.
>>200748383decent quan-chi cosplay>>200748143>psuedo-Nolankys for suggesting nolan had any effect on that movie at all
>>200746356There are like 20 cuts in this 37 sec clip and this isn't even good choreography
>>200741862Kinda epic.*GONG* *echo* *90's techno music*>>200741949Flawless Victory>>200742028LIU KANG
>>200748908it's good in the sense that it accurately portrayals the combat choreography of the games at the timebut yes as a martial arts movie it's shit
>>200749042They aren't using any powers either, so its shit either way.
>>200743900the fight with the 4 armed monster is more believable than this
>>200741862Still the best theme song ever
>>200749179most people button mash when they play fighting games, anon. MK/SF power combos are notorious for ranging from easy to learn to annoying to master, especially for fatalities & related techniquesthen there's also the spectacle of cinema rule, when you introduce a thing having it on repeat sort of cheapens the effect, this is why weapons are great on-screen, the more the merrierbut fantasy shit? using it more than once in a scene just tells the viewer "why aren't they simply using the spell over and over since it's so kickass?" for the casual viewer that fucks women and doesn't play games, having a fireball like liu-kang delivers to shang tsung at the end of their fight to guarantee a win is more effective than if he was shooting fireballs all throughout the match
>>200748383MK4 outfit, nice
My Favourite MK game is Deception and I still don't get why people hate it. Yes, Shujinko is lame but Onaga was a great villain. The elaborate arenas with multiple stages, weapons, amd death traps were fucking great. What kind of joyless faggot doesn't enjoy kicking their opponent into a meat grinder mid fight?
>>200750984Good amount of people like it too. Annoying part is some time limited chests where characters unlocked
>>200741862A retarded classic, one of my early childhood memories
>>200751520I don't remember having trouble unlocking all the characters though 100%-ing the krypt was tough. Then again I was an edgy teenager practically chained to his xbox at the time. Maybe if first played it as an adult I wouldn't like it as much. I also remember playing the fuck out of the chess mode. Getting a fatality without all the bullshit when defeating the enemy king sold me to do it at least once with every character. Harakiris were fun too.
>>200741862Its in the Kino Hall of fame
>>200741862comfy campy kino.
>>200747129based!
Cool as fuck bro. Just watched it a few months ago with a favorite "gamer meal" of mine>1 block Velveeta (queso Blanco preferred)>1 can fire roasted corn, drained>1 can black beans drained> 1 or 2 cans of rotten diced tomatoes w/ habanero>1lb ground beef>1 diced onionCook all and add Velveeta block at the end. Stir in a half can of your favorite pilsner or IPA and serve melty "Junk Nacho Cheese" with Doritos. I like the sweet spicy chili ones with this. Excellent nachos and will feed you for days. Recommend 2 bags for the amount of nacho cheese made. Paired with the movie well and I also watched Demolition Man that night.
>>200741862One of the very few good video game adaptations
>>200742181Because fighting games were insanely popular you filthy little zoomer.
>>200753081Didnt see that coming
>>200747049>"I will take homeboy">get his ass kickedwhat he meant by that?
>>200757087Cyrax would defeat early Jax easily, not suprised
>>200755742Well now you have a new favorite cozy movie meal. You're welcome
>>200752177YOUR DIGITS ARE MINE

>>200748084Based Gianna, bitch still owes me a beer though
>>2007418628/10. The 2021 movie was surprisingly decent even with the brand new OC donut steel movie protagonist
>>200741862MK is a memorable kino.

>>200760655Still mad Deus Ex got fucked not once but twice with Human Revolution cancelled too.Didn't even remember they whored Fear Effect out to Boll too, did he try make it into a lesbian porno and they shut him down or what
>>200741862Act 1: stellarAct 2: awesomeAct 3: mediocre
>>200744864>As an MK fan, I think the story they have now is better than the movie's storyThe reboot was utter faggot shit. I've been playing mortal kombat since the early 90s and I never thought they'd put out a game that would make me stop playing, but they did it.
>>20074186210/10 for linden ashby raiden and kano alone
>>200745638Yes everyone is perfectly casted.
>>200750984Story was a lot of fun fuck that last scorpion fight
>>200741862Great looking sets, exciting fights, excellent casting, doesn't take itself too seriously. I don't know what more anyone could have asked for out of a Mortal Kombat movie.
>>200741862Mediocre movie, great adaptation.
>>200741862The movie has such a perfect ending up until they sequel bait. Still bugs me.
>>200760655>>exposition/premise build up for 15-30minsCheck>>teleportation experiment gone awry, not dumb ass "da Martians had an extra chromosome that turned them into not-demons">>actual DEMONS from actual HELL(not some smarmy "it's another dimension that looks like our version Hell and demons but it isn't actually Hell teehee el oh el")Double check>>60 minutes of DOOMguy clearing the UAC facility room by room.

>>200741862I'd rate it good, OP. It's about as good as a Mortal Kombat movie can be.
Movie fucking sucks but it's got some cool scenes like the reptile and scorpion fight. Sub Zero was a fucking joke in the movie and you got Christopher Lambert as Raise but had him do nothing
