>struggling to break evenAhahahahahaha oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
should have stayed in october wtf were they thinking moving to summer movie season
I only have energy to watch one action film based on a popular 90s fighting game franchise per year.
>>220571955it's 2.5x now? when will the goalposts stop moving?
>>220571955This bitch should just give it up and do BLACKEDRAW since she clearly lusts for the Mandingo.
>>220571955Funny OP, I was watching the same video, Mortal Kombat is just not a popular franchise and the movies were all shit except the one from 95
>>220571955If Grace hated it, it's automatically good
>>220572170It's pretty goodMaybe not as good as mk1
>>220572170It's a flop, sorry
>>220572340I didn't say it wasn't, Grace is the epitome of tastelet tho
>>220571955What were they thinking moving it this release time
>>220571955It was flawed. Not bad but not great either. Worse than the '95 mk but watchable. Good place to let it die i guess.
Grace always has this look on her face like some portion of her brainpower is constantly dedicated to figuring out why peanut butter + jelly taste so good together.
>>220572170This
>>220572170I haven't watched any of her videos seriously since she meme'd me into watching Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. She led in spending like the first 10 minutes going on about how she was wined and dined by Universal at the glamorous premiere, but how that totally didn't affect her review, and proceeded to give a glowing review to what at the time was the worst movie in the entire Jurassic series. I never forgave that bitch for that.
>>220572170Damn. That's a good point.
Man faced kitana ruined it all. No more MK films
>>220572700I can't watch her for long enough to see a review. She's the human equivalent of day old McDonalds leftovers.
>>220572107once OP dies
>>220572107always has been retard
Zoomer here.I honestly dont get the appeal of Mortal Kombat, I dont understand why boomers like it so much.Is it because of the gore? Back then, that shit was impressive and unique, but nowadays extreme violence is pretty common in media, hell you can find REAL gore on the internet if you are into that sort of thing.Overall, it makes sense why the movie is flopping. Nobody cares about MK anymore.
>>220573052>Back then, that shit was impressive and uniqueand how would you know?
>put karl urban on poster>movie flopsthey never learn
>>220573069Every retro gaming youtuber says that the violence blew people's minds at the time and that it was one of the reasons why the ESRB was created.
>>220573052>zoomie talking out his ass againgore was more easily available compared to modern corporate internet
>>220571955why do people watch this dumb retard woke feminist sub 90 IQ bitch?
>>220573052that would work. Total transformation.A weighty MK movie like Private Ryan or Sands of Iwo Jima or Alls quiet.Grey slow somber pacing, then Kintaro rocks someone’s torso off with a straight left.
>>220571955I went to Michael again, I did see those Mortal Kombat popcorn buckets at concessions though because the guy with his kids were spending 15 minutes standing there thinking about what to buy and he bought two of them and had his son run out to the car for a dime to finish paying with physical cash.
>>220572700If that's the one on the boat it's terrible
>>220571955Jhonny Cage is cool but Liu Kang is the hero
>>220573121Sega Genesis mogged super Nintendo by having blood in the game while Nintendo refused to allow it. At the arcade when it first came out there were huge lines to play and a huge amount of kids standing around watching
>>220571955>MORTAL FLOPI'll definitely watch it once it's free and HD, but as far as selling movie tickets, I just don't know what they expected. There hasn't been a good Mortal Kombat video game since the fucking 90's. The only people who would watch this are people that are interested in nostalgiafagging. Zoomers don't give a flying shit about Mortal Kombat.
i liked mk the 90s kino one then it went down hill. when they did the reboot they tacked on this fucking guy gary? idk i got burne and that was it for me
>>220571955MK1 sucked cock too.NRS ruined my evil mommy and turned her into a generic lady chinaman.
Liu kangSonya KanoSub zero Scorpion Johnny cageRaiden
It would've made more if kitana showed her breasts
>>220573476pitana only shows her pits, from the stills / trailer.too many characters for me to follow. never played the games.
>>220573430>Cole Young gets named in the end credit theme song voiceoverDon't do that
>>220571955imagine making a movie called MORTAL KOMBAT and 3 fights end up in basically friendships.....kitana vs Johnny - drawjade vs jax- drawbaraka vs Johnny - drawridiculous
>>220571955Woke Bait and Switch
>>220573052It was a popular game that should translate into a decent action movie, but recent games and films have stopped catering to straight men
>>220573052the new movie has really lame fights and he fatalities of this movie were super tame. two fatalities were head crushed and another one was a head spike, but then sindel who got head spiked just came back to life later
>>220573052People don't really do fatalities that often in the arcade or pro scene.
>>220571985FPBP
BRUTALITY!
>>220571955Preview was Garbage Theatrics was Garbage style was Garbage No Talent Garbage No Ability Garbage who is writing for Hollywood? just make some Crap with a Name sell it
>>220572170this
>>220572746you're gay
>>220573641They killed him, so may as well have a proper send off
>>220571955That first one was stale. No fun to be had, muted colors, embarassing green screens, race-swapped characters, etc. Only the guy who played Kano seemed to be into it, but he played him too goofy and reddit annoying. That protag guy they pulled out of their ass looked like a chink LTG. I also hated that they had Sub-Zero job to Scorpion, which is bullshit. With this stuff, they should go the Freddy vs. Jason route and make everyone happy.
>>220573147Her curvy body sends blood to the soft tissue of my genitals leading to growth of said genitalia generally referred to as an erection iykwim???
>>220572170She actually hated it, and now has a wild satisfaction that it's flopping.Why is she such an unlikeable cunt?
>>220571955Did anyone else completely lose interest in this movie when they made Johnny Cage the main character?Who thought the white should be the lead? Where is Liu Kang?
>>220571955is that eddie murphy?
I liked it. I'm gonna go watch it again with family this weekend.
>>220571955But drinker said it was good.
>>220578536Drinker's a worthless cuck retard unironically shilling for woke girlboss slop.
>>220573052Because you don't know the context as usual.In the 90s there was no Steam with over 9000 games weekly and your choice of fighting game was a Street fighter (for anime nerds) or Mortal kombat (for cool kids). There were other shit ones that nobody cared about outside of Japan.And naturally fighting appealed to kids (unlike whatever the fuck roblox you play nowadays instead of socializing) so everyone was either a fan ot at least knew about Mortal kombat. Even parents knew.Of course none of that should automatically translate to sales 30 years later.
>>220571955Its predecessor was shit. You can only make a first impression once. It doesn’t help that MK in general is in a low place right now. I liked 11, but I know a whole lot of people didn’t, and even I couldn’t hang with MK1.>We just had our big “Avengers Endgame” finale to the MK universe, so let’s reset now and start all over again with a lamer version of what we already had.>mfwNah. I’m good.
>>220571955i dont know maybe cast hot chicks in the moviemaybe dont bait and switch and have a male hero in a male oriented moviemaybe dont change the races of certain charactersI mean action shlock just needs 3 things: cool fight scenes, hot babes, a badass male herowe've lost the technology to do this
>>220571955Karl urban is not a real movie star
>>220571955How will /co/umblr cope with Mario Galaxy movie breaking a billion?
>>220579770>>>/co/153731240Seriously why this Mario trigger /co/ so much?
>>220571955Usually video game movies are good thirdie bait (mario, sonic, minecraft all did well internationally). Wonder why they arent interested in MK like goymericans are
>>220572162I liked the 95 one and the 2021 one. I guess I better check out this new one since it's probably great. When retards don't like a movie that is a good sign it will be enjoyable.
It was kind of cool that it took more inspiration from Ten and Eleven aesthetically (parts of the movie looked like straight game assets from those two) Way better than the previous movie. Soft reboot was a smart idea. Letting Cole Young die in disgrace was a smart idea. Bringing back Cage, in his appropriate role as comic relief/exposition man, was what they should have done from the start. Should have been substantially more gruesome, there's really only two memorable kills in the movie when the whole thing is nominally balanced on Extremely Gory Kills. They had the fight choreography down - which is what they really needed - but it didn't have the visceral punch, with blood and guts and dismemberment, that you really expect when you think Mortal Kombat. The plot was fine, and the actors had a couple fun moments among the few cast members who actually can act. Speaking of, I got a kick out of seeing Shogun from Shogun as Scorpion. I'd call this movie a massive step forward compared to their last effort.
>>220571955>Ahahahahahaha oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no noGod I'm so fucking tired of redditors.
>>220571955The movies a good watch on a rainy day.Lots of match ups and fighting.Pacing and acting is a little goofy.The women are little over the top strong and somewhat results in sidelining main characters. Seems like a little bit of a woke decision, but its not horrible, its a tolerable amount of woke or acceptable.
>>220571955You know, this reminds me of an expression I heard some kids say once, and that I still think about to this day:Get woke, go broke.
>>220573052Because all people older than you still feel things and aren't apathetic about everything.
>>220573052There are almost no martial arts movies made anymore.
>>220571955If this tabloid cunt hated it, I'll now watch it and probably like it
>>220573052yes it is the gore. mortal kombat is literally the reason the ESRB was created. ed boon and what'shisface literally sought to create the edgiest game they could at the time. indeed it was impressive and unique at the time and they've only built upon that foundation since then.i don't think the movie is flopping because nobody cares for MK, game sales clearly indicate that isn't the case. i think the movie is flopping because it wasn't marketed as well as it could've been (compare it to 95's and 21's marketing and you'll see) plus like others here i believe they should have stuck with the october release, they would have had the box office all to themselves. but to compete in may with flop wars and other IPs nobody cares about will take away from bo total no matter how seemingly insignificant.also as much as i love karl he really was not the right cast for johnny cage, the serious moments never felt serious at all, he's just not a dramatic actor whatsoever.
>>220573052>I honestly dont get the appeal of Mortal Kombat, I dont understand why boomers like it so much.Mortal Kombat is something you look at once to see the fataliies and then don't think about again. It's why the first entry in the games or movies is always successful and then everyone stops caring. The only people who continue liking it are genuine unironic trogs.
>>220579873Those video games are cute and for the family.Mortal Kombat is “gory” and not as popular of a video game franchise.
>>220571955Go Woke, Go Broke
>>220578057He’s not the main character, you shill.Kitana is the main character who kills Shao Kahn. Cage is the goofy sidekick.
>>220579051>You can only make a first impression once.THISHISSo many movie studios don’t understand that if you fuck up once, the audience aren’t going to immediately forgive them.
>>2205721072.5x was always the assumption. Its been reduced in recent years by people trying to shit for their teams movie.
>>220572170Not always. Shes not 100% shes just on her own tangent that is mostly wrong.
>>220573052>I dont understand why boomers like it so much.Liked*Shit sucks overall. Only worth seeing the fatalities once or twice then never play again unless you're some furry faggot like sonicfox. It's why the scene is so small.
>>220586202People like Sonicfox aren't fans. They're /v/tard EVO tourists who only care about the science behind the game and not the actual game.
>>220571955Nobody gives a shit about the games anymore, so why did producers think people will about a movie?
>>220571955>>220572170What the fuck is Grace actually on?She sure as fucking shit aint sober.Is she strung out on SSRIs?
>>220586356She's not "on" anything, she's just bottom of the barrel when it comes to Youtube "film buffs". The people who watch her don't know anyone else or do it ironically.
>>220573099Should have cast Anthony Starr as Johnny
>>220586337the games are a lot more popular than the moviesespecially with today's generation that mostly consoom tiktok and vidya and not movies
>>220586387She talks like she had a stroke, which for the longest time I thought was some goofy schtick she was putting on.
>>220572013I did watch MKII, but was and still am more hype for Street Fighter. Looks like the perfect amount of camp/serious. Them setting it in 1993 is based.
>>220572340flop =/= not kino
>>220573124You're full of shit. To bursting.
