Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms

Its good fun, if u have played MK you'll enjoy this movie.

Animation allows for two things: anything you can think of can be displayed and nothing needs to listen to laws of physics or logic, because people have been trained since young that cartoons aren't real so you can suspend your disbelief as much as you like. That is why live action films will never work better than their animated original, but this is true especially for Mortal Kombat. The first 10 minutes of this film was better than the live action thing made recently (that I also enjoyed), for example.

And while the beginning was brilliant and the characters (a LOT of them) were quickly introduced in a way that didn't feel rushed, Raiden decisions felt really ridiculous and the ending was kind of bad. I liked the combination of 2D animation style and fatalities and X-ray moves that were taken from the games. The story was acceptable, too, and the fact that it was R-rated and villains and heroes died gruesome deaths randomly was awesome.

Bottom line: I love the MK Legends animations. They have good stories and characterization and use animation in a way that no live action or CGI could. It's not a perfect film or anything, but it was very enjoyable to me.

This movie was so fun at the beginning but was messed up trying to introduce too many villains to the movie. Should have kept simple and would have been as epic as the first movie. This may do well as a hbomax series.

I really liked the movie, violence and a very good animations, what bothered me is the plot, clearly incoherent and somehow not logical, the last 10 minutes are not that great too, it reminds the end of the Matrix revolution, good but could be better, overall it's a good movie especially for MK fans!.

Can't Believe it's written by the same guy as the first one, the first movie "MK: Scorpion's Revenge" was so good that i gave it 10 stars, but this one is a let down. I hope the next one is better.
