Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

damien-0-211533 I may be 17 but I am a big fan of mortal kombat, loved the games and then liked the films, however I must say that you guys need to stop looking at this film as a remake, look at it as a brand new film. The concept is great, having the same old storyline would just be too boring and predictable whereas by bringing in a whole new concept for the film they are able to play with the storyline a lot more. And about the whole fantasy element, I would like to see a slight fantasy element but not as much as in the previous films or the games as that is too much fantasy, but the trailer doesn't mention any fantasy but then again it doesn't mention lack of a fantasy element, you really cant be sure unless someone actually does make a full film out of it. They chose a great actor for the role of jax as he is so bad ass. And as for the other characters I think I would enjoy watching the film and trying to figure out who is who before you are told, it would be interesting to see how the characters came to be. So again look at this as a brand new film, a "rebirth" of the film ;)

ws_wilsonhire Yes there are realistic elements here, but most negative comments mentioned are purely assumption. There wasn't anything said about no super natural elements being added at all, nor is Shang Tsung said to be some Mob Boss. Ever considered that an Earth Realm cover? Of course you haven't. The additions of realistic elements makes the concept so much more intense, more relatable, and likely the fantasy elements is what contributing to making the former movies so lame.This is an amazing concept (and considering it's less than 10 minutes, there isn't much too assume here), that makes Mortal Kombat in any film form return to it's gory, intense roots. Whatever they need to do to actually make a crazy, violent MK, is fine by me. I cannot wait for the Web Series to come out, then when that hits it off, somebody get's the balls to actually make a kick ass movie from this (or maybe a Starz or HBO series similar to Sparticus, minus the lame Roman stuff).OH and by the way for you slow people, I guess you didn't notice that "Scorpion" had no eyes in this? Most likely not.

embry24 I like the fact that it is "dark" and has some reality feel to it BUT this is Mortal Kombat!!!! What the heck was Boon Tobias thinking about? I know he is shitting his pants right now! Reptile,Scorpion and Baraka as humans?! I almost cried when I saw that video. It is far from being MK and they have just destroyed the History of it. I will NOT see this movie when it comes out, just too disappointed!!Wow...Terrible Terrible Terrible. I wish that they would stop putting out video games or cartoons into movies, unless your going to keep it original and put a lot, a lot of effort into it so loyalist would be satisfied!!! DragonBall was terrible, the first Mk was OK, the second was garbage, street fighter was OK but nobody seems to know how to mix reality with fantasy! They could of kept the concept of "Dark" and reality, such as Jax being a PC and Sonya a cop but trying to humanize the other characters is a sin. They should of let the production team of whoever makes the Marvel movies make MK or let Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarrantino put there Sin City spin on it; That would of been awesome!

Mash-the-stampede A some-what original spin on the "Mortal Kombat" mythos. This "teaser" is more grounded in reality than the video game and previous films. Which is good in some ways but also not so good in others. For example (spoiler alert); the characters of 'Reptile' and 'Baraka' are no longer strange mutants from 'Outworld' but psychotic humans who engineer their own deformities i.e. piercing the face and attaching blades to the arms....which is cool and different, yes - but it's not as cool as the whole "outworld" mythology of a whole other race of humanoid/mutant types. Shang Tsung is no longer an evil sorcerer but an evil mob boss??? Um....no! The whole "grounded in reality" pitch is interesting at best but it just does not work for Mortal Kombat which is supposed to be as far away from reality as possible! Punching people across a room whilst they spew litres upon litres of blood only to get up and retaliate by punching the opponent's head clean-off is common Mortal Kombat fodder, as is shooting ice/lightning/crazy spears from your hands, shooting lasers from your eyes, knocking people from one arena to another, turning opponent's into babies and performing gory and over-the-top finishing moves known as Fatalities! Realism out the window and all the better for it!!! Call me a purist or whatever you want but that's what made Mortal kombat so great and original in the first place.That's not to say that this 'teaser' trailer/short film isn't any good. It's shot surprisingly well and has a pretty good cast including Michael Jai White as 'Jax'!!! Obviously a bit of money was spent and it is very polished in it's appearance. The action sequences are good but not amazing and it's definitely nothing we've never seen before! It works fine as a stand alone feature but I personally hope the next Mortal Kombat film isn't like this one. Cast Michael Jai White by all means but add some fantasy back into it. All up it is still worth a watch especially if you're a fan of Mortal Kombat and let's face it....it could have been worse....it could have been "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation"!!!
