Still, it doesn't feel very "mortal kombat" when it's so down-to-earth.
As a part of the Mortal Kombat universe... wtf?
So they're skipping MK1 and going straight to MK2 stuff... ok, then why is Tsung in charge? Goro or Kintaro? All for Cage being killed off at the start.. but I would have thought that Jax and Sonya would have been talking with Kano there at the beginning...
damnit, I'm overthinking this..
Scorpion as the 'hero', huh? Never pictured that one. Katrinity fucked around with this message on 06-09-2010 at 09:35 AM.

Yeah, it was a horrible thing called Mortal Kombat Annihilation. It took the plots of the 2nd and 3rd games and mashed them up. It ended up just being one big 'How many characters from the 2nd and 3rd video games can we insert into this movie?!'. The only good thing about it was that Johnny Cage got killed right off the bat. 
Heck, part of the movie was devoted to Liu Kang going off to find Nightwolf, the Native American fighter, to learn how to use an Animality so he could defeat Shao Kahn. An Animality!!! I was expecting to see someone try to pull off a Friendship finisher after that... Katrinity fucked around with this message on 06-09-2010 at 03:55 PM.

So, then, just like FF Advent Children?

I concur. While I thoroughly enjoyed the first Mortal Kombat movie, MK:A was abysmal. Ghost of Forums Past fucked around with this message on 06-09-2010 at 06:54 PM.
Also, the reason that the Mortal Kombat movie wasn't terrible was because the game it was based off of was already highly embarrassing and barely coherent, so they could just throw in the 2-3 paragraph long universe and then add anything else they felt like and it would seem like it still made sense.

MK: Alternate dimension filled with various fantastical races and magic, mystical eastern mumbo jumbo about balance and "you're in a tournament"
MotU: Post-apocalyptic planet, technology mixed with magic, evil overlords from Despondos, annoying talking animals, etc.
This movie is basically like making the Departed and calling it Masters of the Universe because people fire guns at each other and there are good and bad guys
