If not, that's an expensive ass publicity stunt by Capcom to hire those actors.

So a movie about a bunch of self mutilating psycopaths killing each other?

I think I need to see that.

They didn't show anything of Sub-Zero, and kept with the canon that Scorpion accidentally killed his brother instead of him. So the story IS there, but it's completely re-worked into a violent crime concept.

I can't WAIT to see Goro.

Kano tore out hearts.  Sub Zero was the spine remover.

That kind of works... I always though Goro was gay.

The Rock is the shit. Best actor of his generation, I'll venture to say.

I thought he was fantastic in "Get Shorty" "Be Cool".

Ah, right.

It's been more than a decade since I played it though...

Maybe I'll find a copy.

That is a much much better looking adaptation of Mortal Kombat than those terrible movies.
I liked the games, mostly for the story actually, its nice to see it treated with a little dignity.

I don't even remember Mortal Combat having a story, I just remember being able to rip people apart.

I actually liked the campy, overdone, nonsensical story of the original movie.

It made no sense whatsoever, all the fights were awesome, and it paved the way for the "rule of cool" trope, IMO.  Doesn't matter that scorpion doesn't have a skull for a head, or that extradimensional kung fu wizards wouldn't have cyborgs, it's fucking awesome and that's enough.

The first one was awesome. The second one was a steaming pile of shit.

Plot is just an excuse to have fights and special effects.

Which weren't much above power rangers level in #2.
