i shan not start off by say i use to be an mk fan and because whenever i read those i want to fetch my violin and start playing . i enjoy play the game but be never that into them . suffice to say i find the first mortal kombat and to be fairly entertaining . mild stuff really and verge on almost could be cool if . a real four star out of ten fiasco and but one that wouldn not offend . mka however become a pastime for u at university and when we be in that frame of mind and to throw it on and laugh ourselves silly with the absolute shamble that be this film . it be tragic . enough say . this film have nothing go for it . everything have take a step backwards . the special effect be woeful . instead of three character with mild in depth study and they jetisoned that for seven main character and each with their own personal demon to overcome . rivet . the script be what i have the most problem with . pour example represent1 ) a new raiden . lambert and give the role some credibility in the original and be responsible for give mk a moderate turn over . inevitably he wasn not go to do a second . so inevitably they have to bring in someone else . the audience know this . the actor know this . the writer know this . but please do not have the character you create know this . he suppose to be the same person and so to have him say i have have a haircut rar rar be a tragic way of say i know i be not lambert so i do something different . 2 ) robin shao . oh robin . many night have be wiled away laugh at his demise from ewokian height . a tragic actor and only in for his mild kung fu knowledge and on the premise he could act . carry in the first film by lambert and the chap who play shang tsung ( do not remember his name but he be in rise sun ) . in this one and he suppose to hold it all together . and fail miserably . to be fair and again however he have no script with which to work . at one moment and before the final confrontation and it be claim lui kang be the only one left who can defeat shao khan . so your character mantra be i want to do it and but i be not ready and and you layer over that with dialogue and meaning and symbolism and action etc etc . you do not have your character say those word . talk about a mickey mouse operation . the writer obviously feed up at this point that their obvious talent be waste on this low budget tripe and so just have the character say it and so they could invariably fit in more action sequence . 3 ) far too many to go into . the fact that everything be figure out so matter of factly . raiden figure out the prophecy ( do not ask ) be a lie . surely not . so to explain this travesty of event he claim they must of lie to me . bravo . many night burn the midnight oil for that one huh . it be all too and it be so because it be sothe special effect truly be tragic . the only one in the original be sub zero ice blast and which in fairness be quite tastefully do if you be a hardcore fan . scorpion get over here and which be always a crowd favourite . reptile and and lui kangs dragon punch ( goro be plasticine ) . but here they have want to go over the top with not nearly enough money . sindels spin to escape be woeful . scorpion get over here be a pitiful remake ( which also remind me and sub and scorp be back and the two great character ever and and yet theyre midget . about half the size from the original and look a if they have be on three simultaneous atkins diet ) and and everything else be shambolic . the action skip from one scene to the next and but nothing grab the eye . raidens fight against three reptile be the close thing to stylish or anyway near the premise of cool . but it be still a long way away . to dispense with the formality . this film suck donkey ball . and yet i know so much about it . oh the pain .
