Re: Mortal Kombat Reboot (2021)

Please, a four-armed yellow giant with a tiny ponytail who wears nothing but a leather pair of Speedos is always going to look a little cheesy regardless of medium.

Anyway, this looks about as...

Re: UPCOMING MORTAL KOMBAT MOVIE

And here I was fancasting him as Shang Tsung, but I do admit he makes so much more sense as Scorpion (especially if this means he gets more to do than be a faceless goon, though it could mean that...

Re: UPCOMING MORTAL KOMBAT MOVIE

That photo John-Connor posted is dated all the way back in 2011 according to IMDb so I'd take it with a grain of salt. That being said, Lawson is definitely not the first guy I would've picked for...

Obviously they did, how else did people under 17 get to play it?

But seriously, I think the game having a simple premise and sensational execution just makes it broadly appealing across a variety...

I don't think the Mortal Kombat games were ever aimed at younger audiences - they're far too violent for that (even though they are fairly juvenile in terms of how they treat violence). The movie...

Re: UPCOMING MORTAL KOMBAT MOVIE

I liked the original movie and didn't mind Annihilation as much as I thought I would, but I won't deny that this is a property that might benefit from an all-new movie. At least this time it might...
