That’s what I want and that’s what I expected but wtf who the hell is the Character they put in the movie to the main character 🤬 I should just stick with #MKShaolinMonk
a lot of people think that scorpion is the protagonist of mk , but the reality says that liu kang is the real protagonist alongside with raiden in history of mk
I think I would have enjoyed this movie More if Liu was the protagonist instead of Cole. Yeah I know it's treading familiar water but if it ain't broke don't fix it.
True, but those two or more iconic The biggest problem was Cole Young. I like his actor, but the role was just bad He should have just been Johnny Cage
@@darkservantofheaven Honestly if he was just Johnny Cage. I might have been able to except the treatment of those two. Even if just a little. As Johnny Cage has proven time and time again. That when he steps up. He actually has more latent potential than even Kung Lao. Peak Liu Kang vs Peak Johnny is a bit of a toss up though. Really depends on what they are fighting for.
@@mee091000 id quite like to see that explored. Especially since in the MK9 Johnny Cage epilogue, he was said to have descendent from people who trained and bred super humans to kill gods. With Lui Kang as a fire god now, this could be an interesting match up
@@darkservantofheaven Well they are warrior race bred to fight alongside the gods. Not necessarily to kill them. I don't think full power MKX Johnny vs Liu Kang would be a particularly close fight anymore. As Liu Kang has the power of two Liu Kangs AND Raiden. Who was strong enough to like low mid diff him even while amped. Not even factoring the sands of time. As Johnny has no resistance to it unlike Raiden. When I say peak Johnny and Liu Kang. I am referring to a fully prepared and experienced Champion of Earthrealm vs a Johnny who has unlocked his latent potential and trained with the monks.
Why Netflix they would only fuck it up worse at least if it’s on HBO max and given to some writers is actually probably give a shit you probably have a better Mortal Kombat show
I actually prefer him as a side character. Playing the games, seeing the OG movies back in the day, it was sort of nice to see this from someone else's perspective.
It's regrettable they made him a side character, but even had they not, it's tough to beat Robin Shou. He IS liu kang for me, as Cary Tagawa is shang tsung
The one thing ill say this Liu has over Robins is that he uses his fire powers much more which I really liked. They didn't have Robin use his powers nearly enough. Beyond that tho, he could use more work.
Poor Liu Kang was downgraded because those writers wanted to push their own made up trash named Cole Young instead of focusing on the main hero of the franchise! I do however love how accurate the casting and costume were(actually except Mileena all the others were very well cast)!
I hate that this movie exists. Look what they did to Kano as well. He's supposed to have his laser beam from his cybernetic eye plate put in surgically. In this garbage, he gets his eye laser from getting too mad during a meal. Fuck this movie. Also, Nathan Jones was a horrible casting choice for Reiko. I'm not even gonna bother ranting about Cole Young who was never in any game.
Thank you! Cole Young could’ve been featured later on within the series yet he becomes the main character in the movie? Nothing against the Cole but I wish they develop his character more.
He cracked me right up! "did you see a guy down there? complete fucking asshole. Answers to Kano" …"yea he's the reason I live in an iron lung. He's a lowlife, piece of shit, scum bag. You're gonna love him"! lmfao!!
Yea you and me about to riot my friends. The 2nd movie has been confirm and they still push for Cole Young as the main protagonist with Johnny Cage seem to have a big role as well...they really just shaft Liu Kang in this live action version
He really bulked up for the next moral kombat movie, that they are currently filming. And he is there from the day one, still shooting. I really think he's gonna be 1 of the leads (if not THE lead this time) in the sequel
Robin shou was such a good Liu kang because he was also a great shit talker, as well as one of the greatest fighters to back it up! The scene where he throws cages luggage in the water is still fantastic lol they made him too stiff in this film
Mortal Kombat dont need a movie but a series that'll explore the lore, with lots of seasons and episodes and introducing/adding lots of characters, the potential is huge with better writers, directors, producer's and loyal fans, we'll hopefully get it one day😢.
They did my boy Kung Lao dirty by killing him off so quickly. They did Liu Kang dirty by creating a "original OC do not steal" that is basically just him but shitty.
Liu Kang is suppose to be the main character of this movie, who’s Cole Young? He’s not even part of the game. It really would’ve been nice if we saw a Liu Kang vs Shang Tsung fight.
This movie was not that bad but definitely could've been better, if there's a sequel i hope it'll have better writers, lore and show more character backstories and growth.🤞🏼
I really liked Liu Kang and Kung Lao in the movie. This is one of my favorite movies. Even though it's super violent it's good. I have to cover my eyes a few times in the movie.
Those who made this movie made the same mistake as those who made the first animated Mortal Kombat Legends movie (Scorpion's Revenge) in not giving Raiden and Liu Kang the prominence that was rightfully theirs. They should learn from the Mortal Kombat video game series and movies in the 90s. Not to mention the Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate video game and the second Mortal Kombat Legends animated movie (Battle of the Realms).
This very first scene and everything after it feel like from two different movies. Sunset shot and elevating epic music promised the second coming of kung-fu Jesus, and the rest was like B-movie at best. Id wish the rest of the movie was like that introduction scene.
Liu Kang and Kung Lao are always the best characters, I thought the movie was amazing, the fighting and everything but the story was a bit of uhh, but still very good movie can’t wait for the next one ☺️.
Movie should’ve dropped Cole as a character and focused on Liu Kang and King Lao as the main protagonists. With Sub, Scorpion, and Raiden as the side protagonists and antagonist. Didn’t understand why Shang Tsung was introduced so quickly either.
I thought goku was always nerfed, until the last 5 minutes of the story where he pulls something out of his arse that he could of done 20 episodes ago to win the fight, but waited until everyone is dead to use it so they can use the dragon balls to bring everyone back because they have to work the balls into it some how
This movie was so underrated by MK fans. They did the game justice with fights and moves, followed most of mk storyline, and had decent actors. I was disappointed in fans tbh.
- Liu Kang is a side character instead of main protagonist. - The Chosen One thing for Liu Kang seem doesn't even exist in this version. - Raiden is soulless. - No dynamic father/son or even mentor/pupil relationship between Liu Kang and Raiden. Here Liu Kang act like a total servant to Raiden. - Kung Lao got killed too early. The tournament wasn't even begin. And he was killed by Shang Tsung, not Shao Kahn. - Kung Lao also seem to portray stronger than Liu Kang. Liu Kang really look a bit weaker in this version. - Mileena got introduced first before Kitana, completely ruined the whole mystery about Mileena. - Mileena is also soulless, not a hyper/seducing like her game counterpart. - The entire lore of Scorpion and Sub-Zero got butchered. In this version, both of them live during the edo period instead of modern days. Because of this, Sub-Zero basically live thousand of years. Sub-Zero aka Bi-Han actually kill Scorpion aka Hanzo instead of Quan Chi. No Quan Chi at all in this. So no manipulation between the hatred of Shirai Ryu and Lin Kuei. Instead of all Shirai Ryu got kill, Scorpion child survive thus lead to the biggest mistake of this version of MK. - Cole Young, this is the biggest mistake of this MK. He was an original character, a descendant of Scorpion and was make as the main protagonist. - Because of this Cole Young character got make, Liu Kang got shaft into a side character, Scorpion become nothing but an avatar to be summon and no Johnny Cage role in this movie. - Speaking of Scorpion become an avatar, he really just appear in the last act of the movie. - Scorpion was summon to earth because of Cole's blood summon him. Really no such thing as Quan Chi in all of this. - Shang Tsung can casually enter Earthrealm and enact a mini-war against Raiden's warrior. In the game lore, all of this are forbidden to do before the tournament. - All of their power come from Arcana. Even the tech stuff power from Kano, Jax and Sonya is also create because of this Arcana. This is soo bullshit and funny. Is like them become sort of like X-men or something. - Like Kung Lao, Goro also got killed too early. He was killed before the tournament even happen. Goro was major character in the very first tournament as he is the undisputed champion and someone that Liu Kang's must face. And he was killed by Cole Young. - Goro also soulless. Instead of warrior-like figure in the lore, here he seem like a generic huge "orc" style monster depicted in many western fantasy movie. So...how all this make the game justice and followed "most" of it storyline??? Fun fact, the team behind this movie, I forgot either the director, producer or writer...they really state the reason why they create this Cole Young character is because they doesn't want to make white guy as the main protagonist...Who the heck is Liu Kang to do them??? Liu Kang is clearly not a white guy character. Dude was asian...the only thing good about this movie is indeed the actors, they all good cast...well except for Mileena...she should have been cast as Jade instead
I think the cast is perfect, but the execution is questionable. Liu Kang should have been the main character, he's always been the main character of MK and they should've just made Lewis Tan as Kenshi.
Well that because the director and writer at that time know and appreciate Liu Kang role in the game. You know damn well even if Robin Shou become Liu Kang again, if the director and the writer of this one take control, yea screw even the Robin Shou version too...
I like Ludi but the script for this movie did him dirty. I can't wait for an improved Liu Kang in MK2 now that Ed Boon is on board. And Ludi atm looks way more like Liu Kang than ever before, he's gotten buff and shredded as hell.
Fun fact about this film after the test screening. A lot of viewers were actually pissed off that Johnny cage wasn’t in the film. So they had to do a quick reshoot for the ending credit and have the character Cole go seek out Johnny cage in Hollywood.
Casting is okay, but this characterization of disciplined and meditating Liu Kang was good. Worst part of the movie was the OC. The only OC that really matters is Shujinko (lol if you know Japanese) MK: Deception tied Shujinko adeptly into the mythos of the series, in a sense, good guy Scorpion doesn't make sense with out Shujinkos story added to the mix.
1:55 LOL spamming the leg sweep move was actually a thing in the MK and MK2 video games! Once people learn to low block, they still go through mind games of when to do so :p
Liu Kang was extremely nerfed the Hell-Out-of my boy, he is my favorite character of all time if not in my top 10 characters from the Mortal Combat Universe. If he was not in the movie, the movie would end up the same " At least that is my small opinion" also is guy with the Hat-From-Hell. I believe there is One-&-Only Liu Kang from the Original movie 1995. These are my thoughts, if you disagree with me that's fine, it's your opinion I don't have to agree BUT I will.always respect it all I ask be kind about what you say to me.or the people that may comment. As always all the & nothing but love from a vet.
Not even close. Sub zero being killed by a bucket of water Scorpion getting killed early in the film Scorpion with a snake coming out of his hand lol Kano dies in the dumbest way Goro dies via hide and seek It's just nostalgia talking
It’s really sad that liu kang in this movie was much weaker then liu kang in the game. I mean compared to the movie, liu kang in the mortal Kombat game he was really strong, he defeated scorpion, shao khan, and almost defeated the deadly alliance of quan chi and shang Tsung. But in the movie he couldn’t even handle sub-zero.
Рік тому
Look at Liu Kang with red headband and white gi, he looked like Ryu from Street Fighter
Cole Young doesn't have to exist, Liu Kang should be the main character. Work with the original material, figure out something creative with it, why'd they have to overcomplicate things by making a new character...
Whoever did the fire animation in Lui Kang's introduction scene deserves a raise. It doesn't even look CG.
Plot twist... the actor can actually create fire like that IRL :D
@@zxKAOS1 nah he just need a green hand gautlet and he can make real fire tho
The fact that Liu Kang, and Kung Lao were just disrespected like this and them being together is a deadly fucking combo I mean come on.
I thought Kung Lao was pretty bad ass. Liu Kang though...looks like he should be in boy band
Yeah they take their characters seriously terrible writing
They killed off Kung Lao so easily
@@themusicman2005 what do you expect he is power ranger🤣🤣
Just goes to show the director and writers had no idea what they were doing
Liu kang and kung lao are easily the coolest characters in this
Right? I feel the same way.
They did kung lao dirty tho-
I definitely know who I am going as for Halloween Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat
@@HazardCerberus1942 That is a badass costume. You can't go wrong with Mortal Kombat

Liu Kang deserves better! He should’ve had his moment in this movie becoming the champion of EarthRealm.

Liu Kang became champion after beating Shang Tsung, then Shao Khan so there may be hope yet.
That’s why they’re making a 2nd movie
That’s what I want and that’s what I expected but wtf who the hell is the Character they put in the movie to the main character 🤬 I should just stick with #MKShaolinMonk
Which he has been for years and years

I feel like everyone must know this
@RaVeeSS the logo of the game studio not the game lol
@RaVeeSS that's literally just the cover 🤣
@RaVeeSS because he is the mascot of mk not the protagonist
I don't understand why they couldn't have just focused on Liu Kang and Kung Lao. The Shaolin Monks are more dangerous than Scorpion and Sub-Zero
True, but those two or more iconic

Good point. Still wondering what neatherealm has in store for mk12
I wish they just made a Netflix series out of this Game already. The lore is so deep and it would give all the characters an actual ark
Warner Bros owns Mortal Kombat. Only HBO could make a series

Why Netflix they would only fuck it up worse at least if it’s on HBO max and given to some writers is actually probably give a shit you probably have a better Mortal Kombat show
If it was Netflix half of the cast would be black and rest lgbt, trans etc. So no thank you
Why would you want to curse Mortal Kombat with a Netflix adaptation?
I laughed out loud in the movie theater when Kabal said "He's about to get his soul sucked" 🤣😂🤣
We all knew its gonna happened 😅😅
The dialogue in this movie was so bad 😂😂
Despite being made into a side character, Liu Kang was still a really cool and likable character in the movie.
He is not Liu Kang, he is lost member of BTS. Real Liu is Robin Shou.

Liu kang: side character
Poor Liu kang
Liu Kang and Kung Lao might be young but they are the core for Earthrealm champions. They made them into side characters
He better be the jacked main character out for blood in the next movie or I'm starting a riot.

Robin shou was such a good Liu kang because he was also a great shit talker, as well as one of the greatest fighters to back it up! The scene where he throws cages luggage in the water is still fantastic lol they made him too stiff in this film
90's version was born and raised in the US. This version is more like MK9's, who was raised in the Temple, which is probably why he's more formal.
I found Ludi Lin’s portrayal of Liu Kang pretty enjoyable imo but I still like the Robin Shou version
Kabal would've never laid a hand on the real Liu Kang
Kano did a short hop exactly like it is done in MK11 lol
“Yeah yeah put a fucking shirt one” I feel like that would be my line if I ever got beat in a fight. 😂😂

I like how they did the sweeps the same way ppl cheat on the game. Now throw those dramatic uppercuts in
I kinda like that he’s still developing as a fighter in combat in this one. Gives him somewhere to go in the next film to emerge as the chosen one.

Aside from acting the problem with this mk movie was that they didn’t build up the powers. They just felt like big words without action behind them.
Those who made this movie made the same mistake as those who made the first animated Mortal Kombat Legends movie (Scorpion's Revenge) in not giving Raiden and Liu Kang the prominence that was rightfully theirs.

Robert Shou would always be my Lui Kang. if only they have write that second story in a good way. we would still have him as Lui Kang
Liu Kang was extremely nerfed the Hell-Out-of my boy, he is my favorite character of all time if not in my top 10 characters from the Mortal Combat Universe. If he was not in the movie, the movie would end up the same " At least that is my small opinion" also is guy with the Hat-From-Hell. I believe there is One-&-Only Liu Kang from the Original movie 1995. These are my thoughts, if you disagree with me that's fine, it's your opinion I don't have to agree BUT I will.always respect it all I ask be kind about what you say to me.or the people that may comment. As always all the & nothing but love from a vet.
Liu Kang is the best character. He played Zack the black ranger in Power Rangers 2017 movie.
A very stark reminder of how much I appreciate the first Mortal Kombat film. Hands down better than this
Not even close.
Sub zero being killed by a bucket of water
Scorpion getting killed early in the film
Scorpion with a snake coming out of his hand lol
Kano dies in the dumbest way
Goro dies via hide and seek
It's just nostalgia talking
@@jimbeam2299and reptile?
Liu Kang got severely nerfed.
ALL of Liu Kang's fight scenes? I've only seen one and the other unfinished.
Kano was literally the only entertaining thing about this movie
It’s really sad that liu kang in this movie was much weaker then liu kang in the game. I mean compared to the movie, liu kang in the mortal Kombat game he was really strong, he defeated scorpion, shao khan, and almost defeated the deadly alliance of quan chi and shang Tsung. But in the movie he couldn’t even handle sub-zero.
Look at Liu Kang with red headband and white gi, he looked like Ryu from Street Fighter
Ryu wears the standard Sleeveless Martial Arts Uniform with headband.
Cole Young doesn't have to exist, Liu Kang should be the main character.
Work with the original material, figure out something creative with it, why'd they have to overcomplicate things by making a new character...
3:28, it is Kabal
He was my favourite in the video game
But it's just stupid how they made him a side character when he should be the main character like the game
Well after Liu and Lao dies in game Johnny cake kinda takes the main character role
Simu liu would be perfect as Liu kang i know Ludi Lin is good i think Simu liu would better of As role of Liu Kang.
They really made it like the game and had liu kang spam sweep kicks 😭😭
Bro used the fatal blow 4:00
