Yes, totally agree. I don't know what the hell they're thinking with these new movies.

Plus nothing beats Bridgette Wilson as Sonya Blade. drool...

This one was awesome in its own way and in every way.

 

[Onicat]

That's a very thoughtful, mature opinion.

 

[Tbest25 Tbest25]

Definitely. The fight scenes are awesome, the costumes are well made and mostly accurate and overall it's an fun movie to watch.

I just watched the recent reboot (the first one, not the sequel that released this year) and it was a fair film, way better than what I was expecting.

The only issues were the ones people have bashed enough, like Cole Young being a new characters made to be the protag, and how the director bragged in interviews about "how they should move away from the curse of videogame adaptations", just for the sequel accept their losses and move back to the roots of what made MK interesting in the first place.

I also find interesting how they made Scorpion a good guy recently, because I always thought he was the main bad ninja while sub-zero was the good one lol.

This movie proves that you don’t need an over the top gore to have an enjoyable MK movie.

 

[Majora Fi]

I think you should rephrase the question (this one is too easy)

 

[random0nonsense]

Neither one is very good but the original is more fun.

 

[NeroHackingRom]

Not even comparable.

I enjoyed it quite a bit when I first watched.

Served to "wash my mouth" off the Super Mario Brothers Movie, in a way.

Unpopular opinion: the sky is blue

The first movie: much of the lore is missing, what can we add that can fit into it?

The recent stuff: the lore is many, what can we add to make us different

 

[D-Tyrant]

the first MK movie is one of my all time favorites, far better than any of the movies that came after regardless of its faults, and it has the most badass soundtrack that to this day is unbeaten.
