Kombat Begins? Mar. 29, 2007
Source: MovieHole   by: James Thoo

When philosophers look over the major travesties of the 20th Century, you can be sure that when they argue over which was the cruelest blow to humanity, this argument will be concerning the holocaust, the 9/11 disaster and the attempts at converting Mortal Kombat into a movie franchise.

That said, it looks like fate has swung around one more time to take a fresh dump on anyone who ever enjoyed the game in it's purest form. It is reported that Threshold (who hold the rights to the game) are looking to reinvent the series not unlike the way that Christopher Nolan did with BATMAN BEGINS. The director of the film, mink (INTO THE SUN) has apparently been fielding questions about the direction of the upcoming movie on the boards at Imdb.com. Hopefully this time we'll get something good, rather than... well... what we got last time.

Extra Tidbit: Jean Claude Van Damme apparently turned down the role of Johnny Cage in the original MORTAL KOMBAT to play Guile in STREET FIGHTER. He must have felt like Meryl Streep in SOPHIE'S CHOICE.

i was hoping they would do a new mk movie. mortal kombat kicks ass as a game and there is a lot of story to work with. hopefully its done right this time. the second one had the same quality as an episode of power rangers.

What was the problem with the first one? It was a game that was purely button maching violence and action. Not exactly an easy task to make that into a movie. Well not an easy taks to give it a deep plot anyway. It was what it was supposed to be. And it was good at it. A mindless action movie.

THE FIRST MK WAS A BLAST
It was mindlessly dumb fun, but fun none the less.

As for another one? Sure, why not. Can’t be any worse then the second one.

YEAH RIGHT
so hes gonna make the next kombat movie like batman begins huh? sure all he needs now is to get david goyer & chris nolan to write the script, nolan to direct, and then convince christian bale, liam neeson, gary oldman, morgan freeman, michael caine, & cillian murphy to star in it. lmao.

To be fair, the first Kombat was pretty good. Not anything great, but still decent. The second one was a travesty, and the series sucked, but the first movie....yeah, it was good. This new one....I don't know, we'll see.

Also, I enjoy Street Fighter the movie. Not cause it's a great movie -- cause it's not -- but just because it's fun to watch.

ADD = Wow, just read some of the other comments...apparently the minority of people who loved the first movie isn't as small as I thought. Cheers, mates.
