Mortal Kombat: Rebirth (2010) Reviews

• Masterpiece.Mortal Kombat as it should been from start

  At first I thought I was viewing a trailer of a new Mortal Kombat movie. I can't believe the quality of this short film.It's atmosphere is so dark and tense that remind me of a horror movie. I hope they ask this director for the next Mortal Kombat movie. The characters are excellent and they don't have super unnatural powers. They are real twisted people. A thriller background can be feel all around the film and puts Mortal Kombat franchise on another level. This is not for kids but hardcore fans of the first game are now grown up (at least 25 years old) so that's not a problem. This is the closest to reality that Mortal Kombat can get.

  I liked the short movie very much ! I liked the idea of "dark" and it seemed like a very good idea to bring the fantasy in the every day life like Baracka and reptile being humans. But what i didn't like is some characters not being preserved to their physical aspect. I mean what the hell was Baraka doing with dreads it looked more like Kabal rather then Baraka. Michael Jay White as Jax seems perfect for the role but i wish they don't rush into this movie because it would be a pity to ruin such a great idea as Mortal Kombat.Nowdays movies are based more on the special effects then on the story line and acting performances. Maybe someone will read our reviews and take them to consideration.

  This is the style of Saw meeting the action of any good martial Arts film, no cheesy one liners gr8 cast for a short. R-rated how the Mortal kombat's should have been from the start. Characters based on madness and high power influence not supernatural and other dimensions crap, in a modern day city that is over run by crime and most likely corruption. Even though only being a short i can picture in my mind so much more from this film. Any film company to see this short, and not turn it into a feature length movie which would almost certainly make it's money back and more, are stupid in my eye's. A good video game turn movie is hard to come by now a days this movie could bring life to an old franchise and breathe new life into old characters and bring new hope for all the fans who want to see a decent MK movie. Here's hoping for a new MORTAL KOMBAT tournament FIGHT ! FATALITY !

• Mortal Kombat done right!!!

  This 8 minute short movie is 10 times better than the two stupid originals combined. Mortal Kombat brought into the real world. It worked for Batman and it definitely works here. If you haven't seen it yet go to you tube and watch it now! Michael Jai White is the perfect fit for Jax. The characters are more horrifying than they were in the video game. This is the movie I wish I saw when I was 12. Mortal Kombat was built on blood and gore and that is something that both the original movies lacked. In fact I don't remember seeing any blood in either movie. They should've been rated G. Mortal Kombat Rebirth would be perfect for the die hard fans who grew up playing the video games back in the early 90's. I hope to God that this is made into a full length movie.

• Did you naysayers actually watch the clip??

  Yes there are realistic elements here, but most negative comments mentioned are purely assumption. There wasn't anything said about no super natural elements being added at all, nor is Shang Tsung said to be some Mob Boss. Ever considered that an Earth Realm cover? Of course you haven't. The additions of realistic elements makes the concept so much more intense, more relatable, and likely the fantasy elements is what contributing to making the former movies so lame. This is an amazing concept (and considering it's less than 10 minutes, there isn't much too assume here), that makes Mortal Kombat in any film form return to it's gory, intense roots. Whatever they need to do to actually make a crazy, violent MK, is fine by me. I cannot wait for the Web Series to come out, then when that hits it off, somebody get's the balls to actually make a kick ass movie from this (or maybe a Starz or HBO series similar to Sparticus, minus the lame Roman stuff). OH and by the way for you slow people, I guess you didn't notice that "Scorpion" had no eyes in this? Most likely not.
