Mortal Kombat Rebirth Trailer
UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over:
They don't need to explain how or where these guys got their superpowers from. They didn't do it in the game, so the movies doen't need it either. MK was always about other mysterious realms (usually Outworld) competing against Earth in a tournament. Whats the fuckin point in changing that for a movie? I'd rather it not come out if MK is supposed to be a undergound tournament (big lol) & creatures from the outworld are actually just humans with sick twisted minds or born differently. Fuck that.

Yeah, I mean to me, if they pretty much go with the idea that these are otherwordly creatures and sorcerers using magic and super natural powers, that would be enough of an explanation for me. But from what the director said (in my above post) it sounds as though that element may still be put in the movie if he gets to make it. Basically, he said he had to tone that down for his "pitch movie" because he only had a $7,500 budget to work within, so he couldn't go balls-out with special effects. But if Warner Brothers decides to back him, he wouldn't have those constraints. He did say he wanted to do the mysticism with integrity. But if I understand his meaning, I'm with him on that. I think he just means he wants the mystic elements to come off as cool and not cheesey, which I totally agree with. Hopefully something will come out of all of this, but I definitely think it's possible that this could be turned into a very kick ass movie.

Lol, I don't know how anyone can think the first Mortal Kombat movie was actually a good movie. What it had going for it was camp and entertainment. But as a quality movie it was in the "so bad its good category." I understand we all have great memories of our childhood, but seriously go back and watch the movie. It may be entertaining but its not a good movie.

Good movies are entertaining. I watched them again both last year. You gotta have a niche for video games I guess. The second one is TMNT3 status though...
