Mortal Kombat (2021)

Pros:
•I’m glad they decided to go all out and not shy away from the blood and gore. 
•The fight scenes were of course the best part of the movie. My eyes were completely glued to the screen each time one came up. Bad ass and very well choreographed. 
•Considering this is Simon McQuoid’s directorial debut I think he did a pretty decent job. You can tell he’s a fan and at least tried to make a somewhat coherent story out of this. Is it perfect? Far from it. But I appreciate the effort. 
•Fans of the game will definitely have a good time. 
•Most of the visuals looked decent. 
•Not sure how well it’s doing financially but I hope it makes enough to warrant a sequel. They set some cool stuff up at the end. 

Cons:
•I know this is not one of those movies you go to for great acting but good lord some of them in here  (with the exception of maybe two people)  were so terrible it was embarrassing. 
•Not something you really need to see in theaters. I do recommend it but watch it on HBO Max or stream it through other means. 
•Some very bizarre editing in certain parts. 

My Rating: 6.5/10
