My Thoughts On The Mortal Kombat 2021 Movie

I've been a huge long-time fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise since I was just a little kid and the original was released in arcades back in 1992. That being said, I really didn't mind the Mortal Kombat 2021 movie even though it has been criticized by many.

Sure there are some thing's in it that I didn't like. For example I didn't like how quickly Goro was taken out by the new character Cole Young or how I thought some character's didn't get enough screen time. I didn't let that ruin the whole movie for me though.

Some people think that it was nothing like the games but in my opinion I think that if it was exactly like the games then we would already know what to expect and it wouldn't be very interesting because we've already seen it in the games.

I try to look at it as a different take on the Mortal Kombat story. Something new that we haven't seen. In the recent game there are different timelines with different outcomes. You can almost just look at the movie as just a different timeline. I really liked and appreciated all the easter eggs and references.

I thought the cast was pretty good and I liked the look of the character's, especially Sub-Zero and Scorpions costumes who were played by Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada. I'm a big fan of theirs. I also didn't mind the new character Cole Young who was played by Lewis Tan. 

Overall, I didn't think it was a bad movie. Maybe a few things could have been better but I still enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to see the sequel Mortal Kombat 2 that is going to be released in 2025.

Deadpool & Wolverine is an incredibly fun movie full of thrills and hilarious moments. It made a record breaking $211 million on opening weekend at the box office and still continued to break records throughout the following weeks. This movie is full of cameos, easter eggs, and references to the comic's that fans will love to see. It also pays homage to some of the older Marvel movies. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman knocked it out of the park. It's almost like they were born to play these characters and it's great to finally see them team up. Everyone's costume looks awesome on screen and pretty accurate to the comics. I loved this movie and it is now one of my favorite movies to come out in the last decade. I'll definitely be watching it multiple times when it comes out on digital and blu ray. I can put it in a list of some of my top favorite comic book/super hero movies. If you're a fan of the characters Deadpool and Wolverine, I believe you wi...

Alien: Romulus Quick Review (No Spoilers)

Alien: Romulus became a hit at the box office and as of now it has made over $200 million globally and will mostly likely continue to keep doing well. It is a great movie to see in the theater. I had heard really good thing's about it before seeing it but I still went into the movie without setting my expectations too high. I loved it and think it is the best Alien movie to come out since Aliens. The movie has so many tense and unexpected moments that will keep you in suspense. Also several claustrophobic moments. It has that dark and creepy atmosphere to it. I was taken by surprise in a lot of scenes in this movie. They were able to try many new thing's and threw in some easter eggs and throwback references that I think fans of the franchise will love. It had a young cast which at first I thought may be an issue for an Alien movie but I think they were pretty good. I really enjoyed Cailee Spaeny's performance as the protagonist Rain. If you are an Alien fan I b...
