Holy shit that looks good.

[Tormentius]

Looks like cheesy goodness.

Holy shit that looks good.

jesus christ. NO, that looks horrible.

"10/10 Scorpion stole the show"

[Eraser]

Wow, that looks awful. The story has nothing to do with Mortal Kombat (it's more reminiscent of Highlander now) and really, I'm not exactly interested in watching 2 hours of such extreme violence where ugly people are beating the crap out of each other.

[Ryoki]

lol, terrible

One of those films you end up watching on a rainy hungover sunday.

[Eraser]

Apparantly it's not even a movie trailer. It's a pitch for WB to pick it up:

It looks fantastic. To those people saying it looks terrible, I have to laugh... Show me one other tripple A movie based on a game thats done as good a job as this short pitch? Not even Prince Of Persia was as good as this pitch.

[SoM]

i'd watch it, story or no

anyone notice the captains door ?

jacks on briggs lol

[Plan B]

Yeah, somehow 2d beatemup video games don't easily lend themselves for screen adaptations.

What I saw in that trailer was ok-ish violent, gore schlock.
Which would be ok to fill a boring, 2 hour gap in your life.
But to pretend you based it on such a simple game seems a bit off.

It's like Michael Bay creating an epic $500 million production of aliens invading Earth.
And then pretend it's based on a squiggly, 8 pixel game called Space Invaders.
(Unfortunately, I wouldn't even be surprised if that happened.)

[Plan B]

Or frogs crossing streets.
Teh horror...

There are none, but that does not make this any less of an obvious B flick. Don't pretend it could be good, clearly it can't be.
All it can hope to be is a decent B flick rather than a mediocre or bad one.

[o'dium]

You mean because the plot isn't top notch, the film will clearly bomb...? Yeah,

Avatar would like a word with you...

[MKJ]

how many pitches have you actually seen, odium?

For the love of humanity, stop giving him ideas

[Don Carlos]

Actually, that looked like it could acheive a 6, maybe 7 outta 10...!

[Nightshade]

That looks dumber than a bag of hammers.

[MKJ]

yes

[Don Carlos]

Was that Jeri Ryan?

You have my interest...

[brisk]

lol @ trying to make a serious film from the mortal kombat story. that trailer had so many cliches, my head feels like it's about to explode.

MY NAME IS SCORPION

[Captain]

You'd honestly want another wankfest like the previous MK movies?

[Transient]

Resistance is futile.

[DooMer]

I think each of you wiener lovers have valid points. It's interesting seeing this take on it, but is it really what mortal kombat was meant to be?

[brisk]

I'd rather have no mortal kombat films, personally.
