I did like the mortal Kombat films. So bad they’re good.
Is shao khan in this one?
oohh this is nice.
I liked the original film and had the game on Megadrive.

The first one is a guilty pleasure of mine. The whole tournament makes little sense, it's full of weird little inconsistencies but it's fun, it has humour, and the fight scenes are genuinely good.
The second... some bored university student in a dorm room could have put together better special effects. And who can forget the 'let's look each other in the eye sensually' travel balls where you die if you don't turn in time while going at ultra high speeds.
I'm hoping this is good. MK has good, cheesy lore and James Wan is producing it.
Hopefully this is good. First one was decent for the period in that it was released and is still watchable now on occasion. Annihilation was pure turd.
I'm not expecting this to be amazing but as a fan of the series, I’m hoping I’ll enjoy it and maybe it’ll even exceed my quite moderate expectations.

None of the links work for me 
But can't wait to see it even if it ends up being trash

There's actually a story to these games ?
Ok this worked thanks
Can't wait tbh. Just missing the techno MK theme
The get over here sounds a bit weird but glad they had that

I'll hold off on offering an opinion until i know whether Martin Scorsese deems them acceptable cinema.
Updated the first post. Thank you for sharing @horsechoker.
Looks good. The "Get over here" sounds a bit weak though.
Want to see this, but I also want various iterations of the theme being pumped at random fight scenes or I'll be angry.
It looks like it could be okay.
The original first one had a lot of perfect castings for me so some just don't seem right.

They actually have a lot more lore to pull from since the old MK movies so it could at least be competent story wise Fight scenes look good emough to qualify for some dumb fun anway

Those were 500 dollar sunglasses arsehole!
Hope this will be equally camp.

Where's Johny Cage
Where's Ryu and the fighting Panda ?
It's funny thinking back to the scandal when the game was first released. All that controversy over too much blood and ripping people's heads off.
This is gonna be the guiltiest of guilty pleasures.
BABALITY.
BABALITY.
If they put in a babality, I will declare this the greatest thing humanity has ever created.
Also, what @VP89 said about pumping the theme during fight scenes. An absolute must.
I like it that it seems a lot more bloodier than the 1995 film. Not that I'm some bloodthirsty monster but the games were famous for the gore, for the disgustingly violent finishing moves. Compared to those the original film was quite family-friendly.
Throwback to the poor sequel
Lines so bad they are hilarious to revisit.Also @ 2:29 the death of Shao Khan's henchman is cut to show the same scene as Reptile falling into a firepit later in the movie
They were so lazy it was great to watch for a chuckle."Mother! You're alive!

Too bad -------------- YOU --- will die!"
Absolute genius.
No actors I've heard of is never a great sign.
Building a wall of ice and throwing someone through it is quite the move.
This looks silly as feck. I'm in to it.

I actually love MK Annihilation, there are a lot of terrible things in that movie mainly the recasting of every character apart from Liu and Kitana but I absolutely love some of the fighting scenes. The Cyrax/Jax/Sonia fight is awesome as is Scorpion vs Kuai Liang (Sub Zero's younger brother), but that animality fight at the end is an abomination.
This trailer doesn't give me the same feeling as the original films, they felt quite close to the actual games and this is trying to be different for the sake of it. Raiden looks meh, the Scorpion "get over here" is pathetically tame and Liu Kang looks like a knock-off Ryu. I can't wait to watch it though and I hope it is successful.
I really hope Jonny Cage is in the movie, but from the trailer I don't think so. It will be a mistake to leave his character out, he adds the comedy element which helps prevent films from taking themselves too seriously.

I never knew I wanted this until I watched that trailer.
This guy was in Lost, Westworld, Sunshine, Endgame and loads of other stuff, and is always great: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroyuki_Sanada
The only other guy I recognised was Mr. Lau from The Dark Knight.
He was also Jackie Chan's brother Kenji in Rush Hour 3. 43 Ronin, The Wolverine, Life, Minions and The Last Samurai. He is a huge actor clearly, he has been in so many good shows/movies.
The Sonia actress Jessica McNamee was recently in The Meg.
Lewis Tan is pretty great too, was in Into the Badlands and Wu Assassins. Also was the only good thing in Iron Fist despite only having a small part in one episode.
Ahh yes I remember him in iron Fist
Totally forgot he was in wu assassins until you mentioned it, and now that's where I recognise him from
Dude with the hammer is leader of the mad axe-clanking club from Cobra, isn't he?
"I want your eyes, PIG!"
I randomly watched that again this week.Dare I say it, this looks kinda fun.
