I just watched it last night and this is my main complaint, as well. It felt like the whole tournament was over in a couple of hours. It was about four fights and they're like, "Welp, that's the tournament". Could have really benefited from a montage of fight scenes showing the main characters working their way through the tourny and some random other folks fighting and time passing.
6:34 This is the mindset I wish more franchises will take. Keep your current audience happy, and *they'll* do the work of bringing in new people for you.
I love how James refers to “the nerd” in the third person like it’s another person. Kinda like how Alice Cooper refers to his stage personae in the 3rd person as “Alice”.
I play a lot of characters in various projects as well, and the third person thing actually comes really natural. I do it, without ever even realizing I am doing it. You see the character as someone else than who you naturally are.
He’s played both characters in one AVGN episode, the nerd talks to James on the phone and asks him about something but I can’t remember which episode it is, but it’s a funny moment.
Awesome. I hope the women are in skimpy outfits, theres tons of blood and gord, its over 2 hours long and actually good. Ig anyone that worked on the Venom movie is involved though...it will suck ass.
It will be ruined by the protests though, because all of the good movies, mostly from before the year 2000 will be banned for being offensive and these guys won't be able to review them. I'm from the UK and they have already banned a bunch of old comedy shows within a week or two of the protests starting over here. It's absolutely despicable removing history and art over all this. There was another group of people in history who destroyed art and literature... Who were they again? 🤔
3:08 it opens with daffy duck because if it wasn't for looney tunes the animation company wouldn't be where they are today. Also who doesn't love daffy duck even as an adult.
they should do both the original movies, but seeing how they changed the sons into daughters who think they know more than their fathers with girl power BS in the new movie I can already tell it's gonna be woke BS!!
This was one of the most graphically satisfying movies in the Mortal Kombat Universe... Really graphic... But absolutely smashed my expectations...!!! 👍🏼👍🏼❤️
One thing I’d love to see on a Rental Reviews episode, would be Strange Brew. If two booze heads saving the world from a beer that controls people’s brains, and trying to become the ultimate brewing company isn’t enough, I’m not sure what is.
Why does no one ever bring up the gore in MK 1995 during the Scorpion vs Johnny Cage fight. Cage slices him open and he spews guts and blood, his head explodes with guts and blood, then his entire body explodes. THAT is the goriest part of MK 1995 yet everyone always brings up the Sub-Zero kill as the goriest.
My issue with the movie. They change the main plot (Liu Kang losing and saved by Scorpion), they forget that it's a tournament (the mercenaries attacking the fighters) in the middle part and the characterization of Sonya feels a bit off.
The tournament in the game also wasn't very eventful. The only death was the older Sub-Zero. Goro and Shang Tsung each simply lost a fight to Liu Kang. When you actually follow the storyline of the games, almost every Fatality is non-canon.
Definitely a good flick. It starts well, progresses great and I like how its a good side project for Mortal Kombat which usually doesn't get good enough side-projects in the series. The added gore that is in the style of the modern games in the series is very welcome as well, like the close-up of spines and arms and bones breaking, so rewarding. Hope the new MK movie will do well as well.
I didn't like it the fact that they gave SubZero fatality to Scorpion, they also made him THE WINNER of the tournament by killing Goro instead of Liu Kang. So basically it was Scorpion ball sucking movie. I understand that he is the protagonist, but it change several canonical events in favor of scorpion. Fuck, we even saw SubZero kill him by ripping Hanzo spine in the MK Mythologies N64 game, but all of a sudden it wasen't Bi-han, but it was Quan-Chi posing as him, lol wut?. Good things about the animated movie was the gore and the animation.
I mean all the characters die in every game lol so it’s not possible to have a timeline that makes sense. I would expect a new canon for every game and movie...
@@JamesChessman "All the characters die in every game." No, they really don't. The timeline up until Deception was very light on deaths that stuck or deaths that became resurrected. You could still follow the series of events pretty damn clearly up until MK11.
I loved the way they did Mortal Kombat Legacy. They were building up to something awesome but unfortunately the creator left or something. The episode of the sit down with Liu Kang and Shang Tsung after the he defeated him in the tournament was amazing too. If you haven't watched the series, do so. It feels like the third movie if they ever get it off the ground.
"The nerd reviewed this game back in 2006", me not listening anymore, because I'm vigilantly observing and scouring the internet for every AVGN episode released in 2006.
they used to have a making of top gun clip here on youtube which showed "tight shots" references. learned a lot from that episode how they blew up model planes against the sky with firecrackers. maverick is coming this december though so that's a nice gift and then mi7 in summer 2021
I feel Sub Zero got screwed in this movie. When we see Sub Zero he looks unaware, because the twist of the movie. It feels like a plot hole that he was unaware of his clan's actions.
My only complaint is that Liu Kang needed Scorpion to save him from Goro. The scene where Scorpion turned down Shang Tsung's offer could have still been done and had the same impact with Liu Kang beating Goro, but being so beat up and worn out that it's clear he would lose against Scorpion. Scorpion was a good lead in this movie but that doesn't mean the plot needs to have him kill steal. Also Johnny Cage was a riot.
They didn’t know this movie was going off MK9. My favorite game and this is now my favorite MK movie after just watching it. I haven’t seen any of the other MK movies. Scorpion always been my favorite MK character.
as a ninties kid, walking out that theater...that night, after seeing mortal Kombat and pretending to be scorpion with my mates i have to say..lesson learned, i must watch MK legends.
Honestly, my only problem with this movie is that they made Scorpion very OP. And that's coming from someone whose main fighter Scorpion has always been.
So either BTTF , Top Gun, Rocky, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Bill and Ted or Karate Kid... Did I miss one? Was there a worthy Jekyll and Hyde movie????
@@jeremyself9439 I commented at the start of the video, I never realised he revealed it at the end... Did he really review Porky's or was that a joke? I kinda half remember it now, they made some dumb games back then 🤣🤣🤣
My only complaint was Johnny cage was running away most of the time and didn't fight. The one on one fight was with baraka. He just ran away. When he did start fighting was with Sonya blade's help.
the johnny cage "think he's on a movie" thing was in mortal kombat 9 for sure(the reboot), i don't know if it was anywhere else though ....oh nevermind, guess i've got to learn to wait till the end to comment on something lol
The real, old school Daffy Duck in the intrO? FUCK THE FUCK YAH! I grew up with that dude. Once they changed him to the cynical version because BUgs lame ass bunny was supposed to be the zanny one ( he was okay mot of the time) I was pissed.
Hey so what about that Johnny Cage vs Baraka fight where Johnny runs away the whole time? Also Johnny never thought he was in a movie. He knew the fights were real but, thought everyone was just playing a character.
No he didn’t. He even said that you know that this is real. He figured it out though. I thought that he was going to be doing that crap for most of the movie. Of course he ran. He wasn’t expecting to fight an actual monster. He wasn’t prepared for that. He redeemed himself later though.
This is how a Mortal Kombat movie should be. Now, we can tell A-1 Pictures or Studio Pierrot that we want an SNK vs. Capcom anime movie in 2021 or so. Let's GOOO!!!
The thing I have to complain about is that the animators were busy trying to figure out how many MK characters they can cram into a single film, which doesn't allow a build to that character in order to give reason for those scenes. This was especially true for Reptile and Baraka. It was like... "OK here is Reptile." Would've made more sense if they left some characters out in this film and have them be introduced in the next film of this series. The title itself starts as Mortal Kombat Legends:....which suggest a sense of this being part of a series of movies. I just feel that they crammed so much and then there wouldn't be a part 2, another film to add to this one, but focus on another character. I would love for the second part to be about Sub-Zero to at least close up that aspect of the story-line, since the back-stories of Scorpion and Sub-Zero are so entwine and connected to each other, yet in a way are linked to Quan Chi which would go into a third film. That's the beauty of MK story arch... the characters aren't so separated from one another like in other fighting games. You can start with focusing on one character and add the others into that story and it builds up. It's very well done from a fighting video game perspective. I'm glad you guys didn't have much to complain about this though. There are so many good things about this animated film and I do hope they add more films to it, because it has potential to be a series of films that built upon each other... you know like what a actual sequel series of films suppose to be.
These anime movies would've blown James' mind in 1995. Ninja Scroll 1993 Fist of the North Star 1986 Wicked City OVA 1987 Akira 1988 Golgo 13 The Professional 1986
Been a MK freak since the beginning, never willingly picked Scorpion. I understood his appeal to everyone with the spear, but Rayden, I mean seriously!!

Seeing Daffy Duck in the intro to this got me thinking. Daffy Duck needs to be an add on character for Mortal Kombat 11
DC wouldn't let their heroes get fatalities. I doubt Daffy Duck would pass either lol
Don't count on it.
Versus Elmer Fudd. That's one way to have him portrayed with a gun again.
Change the bear into Daffy Duck in Scorpion's friendship move.

Have they said anything about when the next one will come out?
@@damnielm0 doesn't seem like they did

Scorpion has a career in Kooking with Scorpion with all the damn hams he made outta Lin Kuai ninja.

Like it should be
Awesome. I hope the women are in skimpy outfits, theres tons of blood and gord, its over 2 hours long and actually good. Ig anyone that worked on the Venom movie is involved though...it will suck ass.
Not suppose to be, it is.
Just as long as scorpion fights subzero to the death I don't care about anything else
Drew those 2 despite being the 2 most popular characters are never featured in the stories. I won’t be surprised if they don’t.

I love this movie and I'm not afraid to say the best Mortal Kombat movie, as well as one of the best video game movies (So Far).
One thing I’d love to see on a Rental Reviews episode, would be Strange Brew.
If two booze heads saving the world from a beer that controls people’s brains, and trying to become the ultimate brewing company isn’t enough, I’m not sure what is.
When they don’t fully know it’s based on the version of the story from MK9 that’s why it includes the X-ray’s.
Daffy duck is probably the most obscene out of the whole looney click
Why does no one ever bring up the gore in MK 1995 during the Scorpion vs Johnny Cage fight. Cage slices him open and he spews guts and blood, his head explodes with guts and blood, then his entire body explodes.

Sweet! A James, Kieran, and John Belushi hologram episode
scorpion acts like a wrestler for some reason, cause when you see in the opening him grabbing daffy
that sounds kinda comedic
He always sounded more like a wrestler than an undead ninja.
Jujitsu is one of his fighting styles which is grappling..
They did a similar type of intro for gremlins 2:the new batch with bugs bunny and daffy duck being beaten and replaced by gremlins or something lol
