 Mortal Kombat (2021). For a second there, I thought it was Big Trouble in Little China. Anyway, I have not seen this new version of Mortal Kombat. Compared to the original movie (if you have seen it?) is it an upgrade or the other way around? I actually didn't mind it. Of course, I don't think I've ever played one of the games on which it is based (nor have I ever watched any of the previous films) and I only knew some of the characters names/looks (the most 'well-known' ones, I guess), so maybe not having anything to compare this to made it easier for me to enjoy the film. I was vaguely familiar with most of the characters in this film except one or two of the bad guys and, of course, the new character created just for this film. I think that, as a whole, this felt like the first 'part'/act of a much bigger three-part film. It introduced the characters, established their dynamics, gave them their powers and set up scores to be settled (should certain characters return later). I don't mind that it tried to 'ground' things (as much as you can in a movie with ice powers, four-armed CGI creatures and a lizard-man) a bit in this first outing, as I think they'll get more 'crazy' and outlandish with stuff should they get more films. All in all, I thought this movie was fairly decent and I'm glad to have seen it so I could learn some things about the MK universe.
