Blog:Can Mortal Kombat: Scorpions Revenge be here?

Since there were a lot of reviewers saying it was a good movie, can this be in here?

Upsides


 * 1) The animation is very impressive, including the gore which as a lot of graphic imagery and also x-rays (just like latest NRS’ latest Mortal Kombat games), the fighting has a lot of choreography on each single fight, and the character designs are nice to see their 3D game models being turned into 2D models.
 * 2) Despite the source material changing slightly, Scorpion is still is accurate to his game counterpart which also includes the other aspects of Mortal Kombat such as an actual tournament while the Mortal Kombat original trilogy returning and unlike the past two Mortal Kombat movies, Scorpion & Sub-Zero have a fair amount of screen time.
 * 3) Just like the original Mortal Kombat era, each characters have their own goals other than the tournament.
 * 4) Scorpion has an interesting backstory set in the movie, his background gave him some clear character and also his motivations to be understandable while also upsetting knowing what he went through, even watch him turn from Hanzo to Scorpion.
 * 5) Unlike Annihilation the characters don’t kill a huge number of beloved/known Mortal Kombat characters, instead, they kill a bunch of cannon fodder, generics and minions.
 * 6) This movie’s depiction of Raiden is more likable since he is actually helpful and an actual protector to his participates since he does actually help them whenever he is allowed to.
 * 7) Just like a Mortal Kombat game, the fatalities are still has gruesome and violent.
 * 8) Some of the game voice actors comeback to reprised their roles such as Scorpion voice actor from the latest Mortal Kombat games and even Goro’s 1995 voice actor.

Downsides


 * 1) Despite being loyal to the source material, there were a couple of changes such as Liu Kang not being as important nor completely accurate to his game counterpart, Shang Tsung being a non-fighter in the movie, Quan Chi able to turn then mimic different characters and the tournament was dipicted more of a battle Royale since every participate were slowly coming into one place or the center of the island.
 * 2) Shang Tsung is the worst character in the film, as he constantly cheers Quan Chi’s fighter (Scorpion) despite clearly seeing that Scorpion is actively killing his followers and also every minion that works for Shang Tsung, Quan Chi able to morph into other characters as Shang Tsung is never shown using his morph ability, and still confusion on who killed the Great Kung Lao since Shang Tsung implies he did it while there’s times that implies Goro did it.
 * 3) Kano is a completely useless villain in the film compared to his other movie appearance.
 * 4) Plot hole, it’s never answered why did Shang Tsung never decides to use his barrier again to protect himself or the “Liu Kang vs Goro” scene, the barrier was shown on the “Jax vs Goro” scene and it’s never mentioned nor used again after that.
 * 5) Plot armor, there’s been a lot of near death moments for Sonya & Johnny and they always seem to win every fight they are in.
