The trailer pretty much showed the whole movie. Great, just great Warner and New Line. :v
I'm not that hyped for this. The only thing that i liked was the Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero moment in the trailer. Yep.
The visual effects, some are ok, some are pretty meh like Liu Kang's fire.
And why Cole Young?
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
And why he have connections with the Shirai Ryu clan already? Many around are saying that he can be like Takeda is in MKX... Hope that won't be true.
Liu Kang as a minor role and he wears like Ryu in some shots for some reason. The f****** protagonist of MK? Noooo, let's Cole Young on it!
Kung Lao and Sonya looks good. Raiden looks lame and he'll not be that important. Yeah, another major character in the franchise with a minor role in this movie.
Jax... Well, poor Jax.

Got his arms ripped off by SUB-ZERO this time. Doesn't make sense at all!
Sub-Zero having a major role than Shang Tsung... And Mileena... OMFG, it's the second worst Mileena i've seen (the first is from MK Annihilation).

In the very end of the trailer, you can see what happend with Mileena already... What a great role eh Mileena.
Kano looks terrible. And he shoots the laser beam from the wrong eye in the scene he appears. xD Also Kano as an "anti-hero" and the comic relief? Jesus Christ...

And yes, he rip Reptile's heart at the very end of the trailer. Yeah, that thing is Reptile and he looks terrible. Even reminds me his worst appearance, that was in MK Deadly Alliance.
And yeah, no Johnny Cage, no Kitana (only her Fan appeared...) and Nitara wasn't appeared at all in the trailer but she'll be in it, probably in a very minor role.

But Goro appeared and man, the CGI looks dull.
Also...
Simon McQuold's words about the addition of Cole Young. "MK franchise always introduced new characters along the time. So we decided to do in this way with Cole Young..." "We know how important Liu Kang and Kung Lao are in the franchise, but we decided to keep on this idea to introduce an all-new character."
Oh, what a great reason to instead of give attention to Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden, putting a character, a MMA fighter that LOSE FIGHTS ON PURPOSE FOR MONEY, that have nothing to do with the franchise!

I wonder if Jax has lost his arms differently in enough timelines from enough different people to fill out a punchcard and win a free sub?
Is there a particular reason why they don't WANT Raiden to look like he does in the games? Like, it's not terrible each new interpretation, but it's just weird at this point. Especially whereas Shao Khan there is all but his MK11 design and outfit cleaned up for theatrical release.
For all the focus they're giving Bi-Han here this trailer, they also got that one shot of him stepping out of a shadow portal. Sounds like Noob Saibot to me. I would imagine then Kuai Liang will show by the end to step up as the "good" Sub-Zero, but I dunno, got a lot of MK plotlines to stuff into one movie.

I saw the movie in Imax last night. It is glorious. Do not go in thinking you will see the regular MK story... the overall narrative is there, just some adjustments, many of which I think make sense, were made for the sake of the story making a bit more sense. I was not disappointed at all. Do not get attached to anyone either. I thoroughly enjoyed and can't wait to stream it again end of the month.

I have almost the complete opposite opinion on this. Some changes were fine but the premise sorta makes this a different movie and a lot of it is boring.

And Cole's armor mechanic is a complete RIP off of black panther, also killing goro the way they did and him looking like hulk with a pony tail was bad. Shang Tsung killing Kung lao with him having no real fight is bad. The hero's being pretty shitty compared to all of the villains is bad. They make sub zero extremely op and while the premise of their power is a nice concept, the results for some are pretty bleh, and Kinda cheesy tbh.
I think it's an ok movie, but it doesn't really feel like mortal kombat, It almost feels like a 90's video game/comic movie, that would take an ip, fiddle with the concept throw in their own original character and basically make everyone else work around them. This feels dated as a premise, almost like they seen that Sonic the Hedgehog worked with that 90's gimmick, and tried it here. Thing is, MK has a lot more lore to mess around with and actual use for a story.

in my case I didn't like the movie because the movie was so generic in everything the movie tried to do for examen I hated how Goro died for the power of love, naah I didnt like this raiden and the music was so generic in every Kombat and the kombat characters didnt fight very well like the game just Kung Lao, Subzero and Scorpion, Milenna didnt do anything just dying like trash

I thought the new mortal kombat movie was pretty great:

however my only gripe about this movie is the fact that we get scorpion versus sub-zero nearing the end of the movie, and while i was watching it the first time, i've always wondered when sub zero and scorpion be able to fight in this reboot
but i digress, the fight scenes are great i'm not going to lie

Oh God... What a terrible movie.
Spoiler: SPOILERS! A LOT!(click to see content)
Cole Young's role is a waste and the excuse they gave to introduce him in MK universe is a joke. Also, why he killed Goro? WHY... HE KILLED... GODDAMN GORO? A random dude, with a stupid armor/power thing, killing Goro... Damn.
But even worst is the meaning of the characters powers that doesn't make any sense! In Mortal Kombat, the powers comes from internal energy or Ki or in some technological way. But making the powers coming from the "dragon mark" is goddamn lazy and sounds like freakin' Power Rangers stuff. Jax's "powers" are by far the worst. The "dragon mark" gave to him an upgrade to his metal arms. Yeah... Also, Kano just gained his "dragon mark" because he killed some random dude with the mark and thanks to the mark, Kano have his laser beam. Jesus...
The fatalities/deaths are ok. Some of them. Because Goro, Kung Lao, Reiko and Mileena deaths. Oh God, just terrible. Mileena's death was by far the worst. Speaking of Mileena, her role is a f**** waste too and they achieved the feat of ruining Reiko's character even more.
The fighting scenes are not that thing Simon quoted as "the most greatest fighting scenes ever". No, definitely no.
I personally didn't like they changed how the Shirai Ryu's massacre happend and making Bi-Han a full villain. Aaaand just like in the poster and the teasers, Scorpion and Sub-Zero are the big deals, not Cole Young. Also, Liu Kang and Kung Lao are mere supporting characters. And like i mentioned before, Kung Lao dies in a boring and stupid way.
Raiden in this movie is THE WORST RAIDEN I'VE EVER SEEN! He is not imposing, he does not give you the air of being a God. Shang Tsung as the Emperor of Outworld in this movie... No, i'll never see Tsung as an emperor.
And yes, that reptilian creature IS REPTILE and they based his look on the worst Reptile ever! (from MK Deadly Alliance) Nitara's appearance is lame. Warner hyped us a lot about Nitara for nothing. And for the surprise of no one, Kano is an asshole at the end.
And what i like? Very few things. Sonya's role was ok. Kabal's look and his fight with Liu Kang was good. Kung Lao was good but sadly he dies in that stupid way. Also the Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero was good too.
But overall, another failed attempt to do a good movie based on a game.
