Movie Review – Mortal Kombat

I used to play MK back in the 90s, but haven’t played it since and haven’t kept up with the mythology built around it. My wife has never played the video game and was confused by the plot and asked many questions. I told her she was overthinking it. There’s good guys and bad guys and they’re going to fight. The plot really doesn’t matter.

The best I can say about the movie is that it wasn’t embarrassingly bad. Just sort of generally disappointing. It would be a hit if they could create a really good story around the tournament, but like I said, the story is just a prop to set up fight scenes.

The acting was about what you might expect — no one was hired for their acting abilities alone, that’s for sure. If I had to pick a best performance, I’d say Josh Lawson, who plays Kano, was pretty good. Or at least he had the best lines and delivered them really well.

Jessica McNamee, as Sonya, wasn’t bad. There were a few scenes where she reminded me of Charlize Theron. (At least the way she smiles.)

I hope everyone who wants to see this movie is only watching for the fight scenes, and more specifically for the fatalities. I know that I wasn’t particularly impressed with the former, but the latter were sufficiently graphic.

If you don’t go in expecting too much then you might enjoy it.

Grade: C-

About The Peetimes: The 1st Peetime is the best because it only has a very brief action scene. The 2nd Peetime is good. There are sparring scenes, but no real action. The 3rd Peetime is for Emergencies only. There’s a lot of action and plot development.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Mortal Kombat. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

Movie Watching Must Have!!

I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂

Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
