Hey everyone welcome back to Silver Screen Spectacle. We’ve got another big trailer today, this time for the new Mortal Kombat film. While I am familiar with the video games and have played a few of them, I’m certainly not super well versed in them. I’ve also never seen the old films. With the lack of promotional material from the film and that video game movies usually suck, I did not have high expectations from this trailer.
This looks a million times better than I expected. The dialogue seems a little rough, though it could just be the way they edit the trailer. However, as this is a movie based on a fighting game, my number one priority is the fight scenes and they look phenomenal. I’m thrilled beyond anything that the studio is letting this be Rated R as it should be. The brief glimpses of the action have already made me geek out at the brutality of it. This movie is very similar to Godzilla vs Kong in that if the action is amazing, I’ll be more forgiving of other flaws. As for the new character Cole, while I understand the idea of an audience surrogate, I hope he is actually a good character. The visual effects and cinematography also look good from what we’ve seen. The acting is hard to judge at this point because we haven’t seen our main guy do anything. In normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be a movie I cared much about at all, but with how few movies are coming out these days this looks good enough to get me excited. You can see the trailer for Mortal Kombat below. Trailers don’t always show up on mobile.
