I saw MK2 yesterday and holy shit, man. its like they took every piece of feedback from the previous movie and just…fixed it. Mortal Kombat 2 is what happens when all the right elements come together in just the right way to give us arguably the best possible adaptation of the source material
>strong fight scenes paired with excellent visuals that respect the aesthetics of the games
>gloriously over the top gore and violence
>a decent lineup of characters played by good actors
>and a plot that’s just complex enough to deliver a few twist and turns without bogging down the action
Is it a “work of art” that will stay with you long after the credits roll? Fuck no, but I don’t want or need it to be. What I wanted was to watch a bunch of cool characters have some awesome fights and trade quips for a couple hours, and that’s exactly what this movie gave me. It’s a bacon cheeseburger of movie experiences, not fancy or pretentious but thoroughly enjoyable for what it is.

anyone /g/ fellas know where the current tech stack is up to for camrip quality boosting?

This movie is fucking terrible but as a mortal kombat movie it was surprisingly really great. I think the gamer frens will enjoy it

If I had any criticism three comedic characters (Johnny, baraka and Kano) was a little bit too much and the end scene where all the characters were walking to “save their friends” felt kind of cringe

I hope they bring goro back or have a motaro scene later

>>220449374
>at least half of the characters that died in the previous movie we women
Which is fucking irrelevant to THIS movie seeing as how they threw out everything they established to start over with girlboss Kitana. Go ahead, list who all dies in this shit and who survives. That's what I fucking thought. Girlboss the movie.

"Mortal Kombat"
Gee I wonder why the immortal interdimensional thunder god isn't allowed to compete

The only MK movies where Raiden actually fights are Annihilation and one of the cartoons

>>220452634
Eh,in the OG MK 1, Raiden had no issues participating.
"Raiden is not allowed to compete" comes from the movie, because Christopher Lambert really couldn't be bothered to learn any fight choreography.

>>220452594
Some customers are wrong albeit

>>220450519
Because he is a messenger of the Elder Gods but he will probably compete in the next movie when Shinnok tries to claim both Outworld and Earthrealm for Netherrealm
This is where you'll see the "bad guys" and "good guys" team up against a common enemy

>>220452819
Are there even any bad guys left? I guess there is Quan Chi, but he's squarely on the side of Shinnok, same with Noob Saibot by proxy. And Shang Tsung is Shang Tsung, he's always on his own team.

File: ashrah-mk1.jpg (374.3 KB)

>>220452848
>Are there even any bad guys left?
For Netherrealm specifically outside of the obvious revenants like Kung Lao and Jax and Kabal not really, but in the games you had Sareena and Ashrah
I'd be surprised if Ashrah isn't in the next movie but she's a turncoat just like Jade was to Shao Kahn

>>220452848
Possible bad guys:
Outworld villains: Motaro, Kintaro, Sheeva, Rain, Skarlet, Ermac, Devorah

Netherrealm villains: Sareena, Shinnok

Earthrealm villains: the other Lin Kuai, cyborg ninjas, Erron Black

Plus Shang Tsung, Noob Saibot and Quan Chi are still alive

>>220453106
The producer of this movie said that for the potential third movie they would like to showcase Rain and maaaaaybe Ermac.
Ermac I understand, but Rain? Nobody gives a fuck about Rain. Although they would be good villians if you want to give Kitana something to do.

>>220453106
you will never see the cyborgs as long as ed boon breathes
he fucking hates them, he hates cyrax specifically

>>220453205
Also, I think introducing cyborgs sounds like a minefield. Because they are a story onto themselves, unless you just want to introduce them as random cannon fodder, similarly to how Mileena and Kabal were treated.

>>220453227
I think that's the only way to really have them in a movie is as cannon fodder. We haven't even seen Kuai Liang yet and he's pretty much the only foil to the whole Lin Kuei/Cyber Initiative story line
>Mileena
kek I completely forgot she was even in the first one, what a colossal fucking fumble

>>220453355
But that's why people disliked the 2021 movie and MK2 did really well in trying to ensure that every character in the movie has a point, instead of introducing them at random.
Remember that Reptile was in the 2021 movie for some fucking reason?

>>220453397
>But that's why people disliked the 2021 movie and MK2 did really well in trying to ensure that every character in the movie has a point
That's bullshit. All the men in MK2 get beaten and humiliated while Kitana is invincible and wins everything. It's fucking retarded.

>>220453165
>Although they would be good villians if you want to give Kitana something to do.

Dead to Hollywood

It's funny, every critic keeps saying that the story is total nonsense.
And I found the story making a lot of sense with well-established in-universe rules and every character making rational decisions. The in-universe rules are batshit, but they are consistent. The only plot hole that stumped me was "how in the hell did Jade managed to transport to Netherrealm on her own?".

>>220453889
>The only plot hole that stumped me was "how in the hell did Jade managed to transport to Netherrealm on her own?".
Dunno the in-movie explanation but pretty much every Edenian can teleport in the games

>>220454448
In the movie Kitana can teleport between realms because she uses Raiden's amulet for that and Raiden is explicitly shown to be able to teleport himself and others into other realms. Shang Tsung can teleport himself and others, because he's a powerful sorcerer. Same with Quan Chi. Scorpion and Noob can teleport between realms, because they are Netherworld wraiths and that's their shitck.
Jade is just some Outworld thug with a staff.
That actually bothers me, because that's IMO the only time the movie breaks its own rules.

File: jade teleports to the netherrealm.jpg (1.0 MB)

>>220454611
Well, she does break the little Shao ornament on the tip of it before she teleports and starts firing lasers out of it. Based on the FX here I think we were meant to learn that she gained the ability to do that through her staff
It's a lame explanation though

File: Sonya-Blade-Kills-Kano.jpg (43.9 KB)

Friendly reminder that this movie did NOT have more girlboss shit than the original.
Kitana needed help to land the final blow on Shao Kahn and she used her weapons to do it.

>>220454842
Actually, both Cole and Liu Kang performed better against Shao Kahn than Kitana. Shao Kahn was wrecking her shit and nearly strangled her to death. And that was after his immortality stopped working. She only managed to kill him because he got overconfident and thought he already won.

>>220447921
65%?
That's higher than I thought critics would rate it

>>220447921
I'll probably go see a matinee tomorrow, just because I appreciate them actually trying this time, and because Kitana gives me a hard PP. Her being a "girlboss" or whatever doesn't bother me either, because she's canonically beaten Shao Kahn in the games.

Liu Kang has died and come back multiple times in the games.

>>220456150
Hasn't he been a zombie before too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd8GLj8VJB0

I agree with Kermode.

>>220456164
Still canon.

That said, I know it's not exactly a high bar to cross, but I think that DLC might be some of the best storytelling Mortal Kombat has ever had, as far as the twists and turns. I like that it actually made Shang Tsung formidable again.

>>220456150
Game accurate

>>220456168
They didn't expect for people to like Liu Kang that much and basically spoiled his death. That means that Liu Kang was never going to get his moment to shine in either of the films. Now they are making him a fire God for no reason, no build up. Highly doubt they kill Raiden in the third for it to happen either. Oh and the kitana romance is pretty much dead. And don't even get me started on how they might ruefully Johnny Cage to be the one to defeat shinnok ala mk4.

>>220456150
didnt he become fire god then time god then back to fire god in the games?

>>220456226
It lead to MK1 which basically put the games back on life support. Also 11 and 1 were basically retconned because nrs is going to do another reboot with how shit the games currently are.

>>220456244
Without any of the build up, which was dumb to begin with, or Raiden dying so it happens.

>>220456185
Yes, after he dies in deadly alliance. We aren't even going to get that.

>>220456290
Well you gotta be extra autistic to actually pay attention to a "story" in MK games. 99% of people just select a character and fight.

>>220456304
Why not?
Make him a zombie reborn to a god
2 in 1

>>220456266
Nope, he fuses with Raiden in aftermath to become an elder god. Which leads to kronika's defeat. He never reverts to a fire God after that which leads to timeline shenanigans bullshit. Raiden takes Liu Kangs place as champion of earthrealm.

>>220447921
I haven't seen this yet. Does it end with Shao Kahn actually dying, or are they teasing an Earthrealm invasion for a MK3 movie? Or Shinnok?

>>220457552
Mk 2021 had some stuff going for it like the Scorpion and Sub-Zero depictions, but the primary issue was the main character being an OC, and some of the castings. It also just felt more amateurish.
The movie that came out now should've been the first one.

>>220457622
Low 3k for MK11. Which I'm guessing 1k of those came from MK2. That is terrible for a fighting game.

>>220457643
>And MK1 sold less than 11
Because they utterly botched the game on multiple levels. It started big, and dropped off. They blew it with the games' story mode, roster and mode variety, the big draw for MK's casual players, and the money grubbing with DLC reached a fever pitch.

>>220457699
That's just steam though, a lot of people play these on console

>>220457643
are you retarded? do you think Mortal Kombat is like Street Fighter or Tekken or something? it's a casual fighting game that sells big because it has Fatalities, a bombastic goofy story and lots of wacky game modes for the player, casual gamers buy it and treat it as a singleplayer game, it's not a franchise that's celebrated for deep gameplay and quality animation, and brought to EVO every year for twenty years like it was Street Fighter Third Strike or something, it pops up for a couple of years after release then fades out.

Kentaro is the one I wanted to see, it being MK2 and all. But yeah Motaro would also be kool.

>>220457773
No, it did not. The DLC for that did well, the variety in modes was good, and the roster was quality. There was a colossal drop off in execution for 1. The Kameo system in practice was really lame, the whole reboot universe execution was beyond pedestrian, with everyone looking the same as each other and generally made as nondescript as possible, and the focus on guest fighters went overboard, especially when they were very repetitive with too many superhero characters who would be better served in an Injustice 3.

That's to make a profit. There was barely any promotion for this movie. Specifically overseas since its doing shit in China.

Oh fuck off with that shit. You had the krypt but everything else was shit. Next you'll tell me the gameplay was good what with Fujin essentially being the only viable character at evo where it was all mirror matches.

I wonder what does Japan think about MK2, oh wait the entire franchise is banned there isn't it?

>>220458002
Don't know but Devil Wears Prada 2 is currently beating mortal kombat 2. Gotta imagine the new spider-man movie will do gang busters over there.

>>220458019
There is a fanbase for MK in Japan. The movie itself will be released in early June there.

Nobody really cared about that.

It's definitely the more casual fighting game, along with Injustice. There is some EVO presence but not that much. It seemingly peaked with MKX tournaments.
I personally don't even play the games anymore but I like the world and I hope they make an action adventure in the vein of Shaolin Monks one day. Something similar but with Sub-Zero and Scorpion would be nice.
A Mythologies type metroidvania with today's tech could also be good.

Liu Kang was never even built up to have any defining moments in this reboot series because the writer didn't expect casuals to like Liu Kang. That's how you get shit like Cole from the first movie and kitana going full girlboss and becoming a different character entirely. Retard.

>>220458088
>nobody really cared
Capcom literally addressed that the story will be changed due to the backlash, you dipshit. If you are going to talk about things, at least know what it is, Asswipe.

>>220457992
>Best vidya adaption in a long time
Oh god, you're a retard.

>>220458147
And without Liu Kang, the heroes essentially lose. Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armagaeddon all saw that. Until Raiden reverts the timeline in MK9.

>>220458628
Fighting games don't operate on the same levels that regular games do. And yes MK11 was shit and of the 15 million that bought it, only a measly 3k still play it. And you can argue that the movie probably added an extra 1000 players which is nothing. Compare it to Street Figter which is the top game of the fighting community, gets the main stage at evo, and constantly has tournaments based around it like the capcom cup and world tour.

>>220459473
80 million for marketing is generous. Haven't seen much promotion for it outside of ads.

She couldn't kill Shao Kahn without JC breaking the amulet that made Kahn immortal.

Ive played Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 a lot for SNES when I was a kid. If I had to play one other Mortal Kombat from any system from any time to get the most Mortal Kombat experience what would it be? It doesnt have to be the "best" game, but just what is the most fun and has the most accepted canon amongst fans?

the original, the arcade port if possible via emulation (the home ports have nostalgic charm but are glitchy as fuck)
even by mk3 the whole series had become very convoluted and lost that charm even if was more proficiently programmed; everything after 3 is just whatever

>>220460282
Literally no one expects MK to perform like SF. It's not that kind of fighting series. You don't get super polished gameplay and animations in MK, you get derpy kicks and a focus on tons of wacky modes and gory finishers. You play SF or Tekken or Guilty Gear or whatever for your fighting gameplay. Mortal Kombat is a casual game, that's why it's the highest selling fighting series after Smash Bros, which is also appealing to casual players.

>>220460517
MK9 is fun
MK Deadly Alliance or Deception might be fun, it's been twenty years so I don't know how they hold up

The juggling system in those is fun because the games are more floaty. Modern and even the old 2D MK games are more fast paced but I like the 3D era ones.

>>220461080

>I heard it wasn't very good
It's mid. Not the worst vidya movie I've seen but the main issue with it is that it stars a wholly original character not connected to Mortal Kombat. At least they fixed that in this one.

I would fuck Jade, both the character and the actress.

>>220461080
It's forgettable, but Kano is kino in the first one. It's definitely worse than the one in theaters.

I'm thinkgen of rewatching it. I remeber linking the Sub Zero special effects but being underwhelmed by the casting choices for Nitara and Mileena.

when posters refer to the 'first' MK movie I assume ye're referring to the '95 one and not the '21 one I never saw and forgot was even made that everyone seems to acknowledge was shit unlike the '95 one which was trash but still fondly remembered and has several attached memes

just some trolling antifan sperg from /v/ being amplified by the russ/pol/ faggot brigade

>>220461591
it's certainly true to the woke source material of the most recent games, yes

>>220449153
Kitana's mother was gorily rekt by Sonya and was about to be headcrushed by Shao Kahn while in bondage gear after getting resurrected, get rekt. Speaking of bondage, Kitana was chained and had to be rescued from that.

He's a washed up alcoholic actor who peaked at least a decade ago and he admits it, while Kitana trains regularly with Jade. There's no world in which Cage would do well against Kitana before he got powers. This is part of his character arc.

Go direct you own Mortal Kombat movie if you think you can do better.

you don't want good movies, you want subversive trash to feed an eternal culture war narrative, which this movie isn't and it's sent you into a seething rage, because you can't spin up and feed the outrage industry you're apart of
Urban's Dredd didn't do well either, but it's a great movie nonetheless and will be enjoyed way longer than stallone's which you probably defended because that's what you contrarian faggots do on here for shit and giggles

Not just the movie. Raiden becomes an Elder God at the end of MK4 and isnt able to compete in Earthrealms affairs, which he relinquishes around Deadly Alliance so he can.
