Scorpion's Revenge was pretty dope. I felt like they gave most of the main characters some shine, which is important in these types of movies.

I think the only thing I have to come to terms with is these newer films centering around Scorpion and Sub-Zero. It's not classic MK, but they are far and away the most popular characters in the series so it makes sense.

I fucking loved this movie

There would be some of that. But in this day and age, It may be hard to get Johnny Cage to be a likable character. Reynolds could do that.

Finally got to finish watching this and then watched Scorpions Revenge I loved the brutalities. Reminded me of Lawrence Taylor game Blitz:The League


Both movies were fun but I expected more out of Goro.

This movie was bad on an epic scale. Completely fucking horrible.

Go fuck yourself and drink antifreeze.

Ok sorry. Had to go full Chiefsplanet there.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I could really see how you would not like this movie if you didn't play the video game, or even see the old MK film.

Scorpions revenge is epic.

Honestly outside of that, the videogame cinematics make for far better films than any live action attempt theyve made.

I watched the full MK11 movie on youtube, nearly four hours but INFINITELY more interesting than this latest shitpile starring Cole Young.

Ended up purchasing MK 11 Ultimate on sale for 30 bucks with all DLC included. Had not played MK since MK3 disappointed me back in high school.

Really fun game and surprisingly deep for one in the fighting genre. Heard MK 10 had the better story, so probably going to watch that soon as well.

I watched it again and they changed Scorpion's" Get Over Here" back to Ed Boon's voice over.

I loved MK11. It was probably my favorite one since Armageddon despite the weak villain.

It'll be interesting to see where they take the story next, given the end was pretty much a complete wipe.

I tried playing the story mode in MK XL last night.

Apparently i fucking suck. I was quickly reminded why i never spend more than 30minutes a year on those games.

Trying to properly execute ^ < O over and over again and succeeding 1 out of 5 every time blows ass.

Remembering the sequences for all the moves is one thing. Actually executing the sequences in battle is a whole other.

I spent 45mins doing the tutorials last night only to get my ass kicked by Kano in chapter two because, despite my 45mins of tutorials, as soon as the fight starts all of a sudden all i can remember to do is jump, punch, kick and grapple.

I spent so much time getting my ass kicked while trying to execute a combo sequence that i just said "fuck this".

Fighting games mostly suck except for Smash Bros. Circles quarter turns then hitting buttons is some dumb try hard shit. Smash has it right: hitting a single button for weak, tilt and button for medium, and forward hard tilt and button for strong.

BTW, Rob McElhenney would be perfect for Johnny Cage

Sub-Zero was the first character they cast and that's how they got Joe. They definitely got that decision right. Wish they used the same care for casting Raiden, Shang Tsung, Mileena, Cole. Well, they should've just canned Cole's character. He sucked.

They should have dropped the Cole Young character altogether and had that actor play Liu Kang
