 What's good y'all, it's your boy Ross back here again with another video So I got a chance to check out Mortal Kombat last night when it first dropped on HBO Max And I must say I enjoyed it Being a fan of the Mortal Kombat games I got everything for the most part that I really wanted out of this movie You get the blood you get the guts get the gory get the violence and you get the eccentric over the top Martial art characters that you've grown to know and love over the years through the games Do they have all the popular characters that you would want to see in the Mortal Kombat movie? No, but I do think this movie is a jump off to set up for the Mortal Kombat Universe if they were to decide to go that route But I think this movie is a definite setup the way the plot plays out. It's a definite setup for a sequel I don't want to go into too many spoilers. I'll probably do a spoiler review later on this weekend So stay tuned to that. Just gonna kind of keep it vague, but um, honestly If they were to drop a sequel for this movie, I would definitely be Interested in seeing I will say this When it comes to them living up to the adaptation of the games I think they do a pretty good job I feel like if you're the fan of the games like I am You're gonna love this movie like I would recommend anyone that plays Mortal Kombat and have played it in the past And they enjoy the series as a whole go see this movie To me, I think this is the best on-screen adaptation of Mortal Kombat we've ever had And I think they did a very good job You can tell they actually cared about the source material and they wanted to please the hardcore fans So if you're a fan of this movie go see it That's all you I really need to say now if you're well not fan of movie if you're a fan of the series go see the movie If you're new to the Mortal Kombat series, you know a little bit here and there but not too much I think you will enjoy it just just as much Well, let me rephrase that I wouldn't say just as much You'll be kind of confused on why certain people will find each other and the dialogue and you know The backstory but I think you've just in I think you will enjoy it in the sense of just the action the choreography The special effects. I think you will enjoy it on that aspect of things Speaking of the choreography The first seven minutes of the actual movie like the end like the little prologue is just fantastic Fantastic choreo it let's it gives you I want to say They dive into how this movie is gonna play out When it comes to the fighting it's it's brutal. It's gory. It's bloody, but it is enjoyable And I do think they killed the choreography Some of the acting was kind of spotty definitely a lot of the acting in certain spots were Very cheesy kind of like how it is in the game So I kind of get get the game and the uh movie dialogue kind of being one in the same But I do there are some standout performances and I will say I don't want to go into spoilers. I like I said, I'll talk about in my spoiler part spoiler review But I will say Kano is the best part of this movie He is the he is the heart of this movie who the guy they cast it as Kano. Let me let me say his name Josh Lawson he perfectly embodied how Kano would be In a live action setting of his character. It is perfect, bro Spot on he like I said, he's the best part of this movie. He kind of he gives the movie that entertaining entertaining like Value like the side where you're not seeing the fighting you're not seeing the cg You're not seeing the blood and guts when it's just like some downtime and just character development type stuff He's the best part only because the dude is he's spot on he is I don't think we You know those type of roles where you got Hugh Jackman is perfect as wolverine. I don't you can't see yourself see anyone else playing wolverine Other than Hugh Jackman or the same has an ironman. You can't see no one else playing ironman other than Robbie Downey Jr Same here. I cannot see anyone else playing Kano other than Josh Lawson because he killed it. He was fantastic and he kind of kept me in the movie when there were certain certain points of the movie where it was kind of Dragging with the dialogue and the characters because a lot of these characters You don't really get a chance to get to note that well because the movie would be too long so you kind of just have to They kind of gloss over them for the most part, but it was He was definitely that enjoyable factor that kept me, you know engaged within the movie um But other than that Movie was serviceable Like I said, I I can't really nitpick this in a sense because it's like it's mortal combat You're there to see the kills you dare to see some blood guts gore some fighting and you're there to hear some flawless victory Fatality your soul is mine like you're there for that. That's all you're really there for You're not really too much invested in the character developments And that's why I also said if you're a fan of this series, you're gonna enjoy this movie If you're not a fan of this series You'll probably like it But there's gonna be a lot of parts you're gonna be confused on you're not gonna understand what's going on here So it would be who of you to be In in a sense a fan of the mortal combat series to really enjoy it Rather than someone that's just kind of new and fresh to and they just kind of lost like what's going on Why is there a fire dragon? What? What's happening here? Why is there a guy with four arms? Someone explain to me, but other than that movie was enjoyable, man So comment down below Let me know if you guys had a chance to see mortal combat and if you guys enjoy The movie comment down below. Let me know who was your favorite character in this movie for me. Obviously It was cano. He was fantastic hilarious funny and I love this character within the movie No spoilers in the comment section.
