Dreadfully Boring
... View MoreI was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View MoreThe stories of the game characters were well told in general and Kung Lao, like the non-game characters Siro and Taja, was great and charismatic, Shang Tsung stole the scene as villain, Shao Khan was a caricature of the game character, Scorpion's new origin was a disaster and it was very worse not having any relation with Subzero (they are deadly enemies in the game), Raiden was a perfect adaptation of the game character and the lesbianity between the reptilians was an outstanding bait to attract the teenage public, but it suddenly ended with only one season, and with all the heroes dead and the evil triumphing! I hated this end!
... View MoreContains minor spoilers.Bit outdated, perhaps, but I watched through the series recently and I love it. It was a bit slow to start, and I had my issues with Kung Lao's character and didn't like Vorpax, but volumes 4-6 are great.Costume-wise, the movie Sub-Zero (and the other ninja-appearance types) was clearly of better quality. Kung Lao should have kept his hat, and wore something else. Vorpax's outfit was trying too hard (I mean, ugh, puh-lease!). Raiden was OK. Quan Chi was excellent, heh. And Shao Kahn was OK too. Lots of eye candy for male viewers, I'm sure. Or anyone who likes to look at scantily clad women.There were definitely places where they had to cut costs - reused footage was painfully obvious to me. And I never liked how the ground in Zhu Zin (sp?) was so perfectly smooth despite that camel walking across all the time, and the usual wear and tear a well-trodden marketplace would have to endure. But I keep reminding myself "the budget...".Siro and Taja were great characters, and I liked Raiden quite a lot. Quan Chi was great too, hehe. Omegis was interesting, as was Sub-Zero (who is cool no matter what). They could have used taller characters though, for characters who are meant to be tall... (Raiden at 7', Sub-Zero over 6' etc...) Would have given him that much more presence, you know? Much deception and backstabbing! And it's a delight to watch. My favourite parts are definitely anything to do with Raiden (who has a sense of humour, if lighter and less dry than the Christopher Lambert-Raiden humour) and the final fight in the final episode.THAT fight was far too short, and that is the my main gripe about it - considering how arduously long some fight scenes are with the three main protagonists. I'm still ambivalent about the deception - I mean, how could Raiden have NOT known?! Aghhhh! So Shao Kahn is crafty and wise in his madness - Raiden is a GOD, dammit! Very VERY big shame that it wasn't renewed. I guess my imagination can fill out how Raiden gets out of that situation, how Quan Chi, Shang Tsung, Kitana and Reptile deal with their situation as well, how Kung Lao survives to be beaten later by Goro...and of course what happened to Sub-Zero, Smoke, Noob-Saibot, that Black Dragon woman, Shang Tsung's master, Omegis...Worst parts of the series were some of the unnecessarily long fight scenes and the slow-ish start. And the fact that they can't seem to find anything else to wear. Kung Lao should have kept his hat. And Raiden should have worn his a few times more just for variety. And the final fight was far too short (but at least Raiden was cool and used his warhammer).9/10 for entertainment, humour, plot (yes, plot) and MUCH better fight sequences than the movie. And the fact that Sub-Zero doesn't die!
... View Moreme and a friend actually has this, bad film club. and in this club, we always go down to the video store and rent the movie that looks bad. and we found this movie, mortal combat two conquest. and believe me, i have watch a lot of bad movies. this is probably by far the worst thing i have ever seen. acting,plot,directing,music everything its just. nothing really. its so bad that it is nothing. everything from the lame fighting sequences with the porn like trance music to the bad jokes that really just makes me sad. and wtf with those spandex pants on kung lao? wtf?!? if it was a perfect movie, this is the complete opposite. it makes uwe boll lock like citizen kane. but ill give it 2. because its so bad that it deserves at least one point for badness. if your looking for a bad movie, see this.
... View MoreI am a very big Mortal Kombat fan. I love both movies and I thought this series was a good one. Back when this on TV I was a huge wrestling fan (I am not happy with today's wrestling but I still love the classic WWF & WCW days back in the 80s & early 90s) and I'd watch this right after WCW's Monday Nitro show. Mortal Kombat: Conquest had good actors and actresses which included the beautiful Kristanna Loken which her character looked so good looking and neat in this series. Fans of Terminator 3 should check her out because she is very good in this. There was notable good acting by the other cast members Bruce Locke, Daniel Bernhardt, Jeffrey Meek, Tracy Douglas, Paolo Montalban, and others. There was even guest stars in some good roles such as Eva Mendes and WCW's Bryan Clarke of Kronic (WWF's Adam Bomb) in some episodes. The series had some big time potential but it didn't air long on television. If you are able to watch this series and if you love Mortal Kombat then watch it!
