Oh yeah, and everybody is working for the same big bad guy, who's organization was infiltrated by a movie actor... who was killed... by the doctor who installed blades in his arms.

We finally have the technology to make a real Mortal Kombat movie and this is what they give us. I really hope this is a trailer for the game because this looks like utter shit. Someone get this guy a pacifier. On June 09 2010 05:52 J-Dragon wrote: No way this will top the original MK. The first one had genuinely good action scenes and was true to the games. You just had to get past the lame, almost Power Ranger-like writing. Yes, but given the history after the first movie, this is a welcomed change. | ||

All I could find was this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386939/ Which states there's a Mortal Kombat video game coming out in Dec 2010, made by Warner Bros. Studios' game developer company. There's also a movie in the works scheduled for a 2013 release. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293429/ | ||

Oo introduce the characters, done. make it plausible that the good guy wants to kill the bad guys, done. that's fucking it. the rest is (hopefully) nice action including sick martial arts, nice special effects, fatalities, lots of blood and an awesome soundtrack (although it wont reach Mortal Kombat in that aspect I suppose) | ||

 .. With that being said, it definitely has potential and merit. I'm not really feeling the series reboot by creating new backstories/storylines, but if they make a game to go along with it to completely reboot the series and not just for a movie I can go along with it. I'm definitely interested in seeing how this turns out. | ||

The story is w/e but if the fighting is decent between the big names it will be worth watching. Also having scorpion as the main character trying to kill reptile and sub-zero is amazing. | ||

I didn't really like the whole series reboot making barraka and reptile into demented serial killers with diseases doesn't quite sit well with me. Especially with Reptile because he was a fucking a reptilian ninja man .. With that being said, it definitely has potential and merit.

I'm definitely interested in seeing how this turns out. Well uh...I'm not sure I follow you. If it's just a game trailer (which I find unlikely given whose acting in it) then I would assume the trailer has to have at least some semblance to the story itself. This indicates that you can expect a total reboot of the series. If it's a movie, I welcome a complete change in story line because MK needs it. It has grown slightly stale...and hasn't Lui Kang died like 4 times or something in the course of the story line? :o On June 09 2010 06:04 GunSlinger wrote: People like you are the reason good movies aren't made anymore. Oh it's a movie expert! What you think is a good movie and what other people think is a good movie will vastly differ, of that you can have no doubt. | ||
