CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Irina Not typical for a girl (woman already) but Mortal Kombat is my all time favorite game franchise. I love original MK movie very much, the 2nd one was weaker but its fighting moments were even better than in the first MK movie. Finally, I watched this series and I was impressed. This PREQUEL was intriguing, catchy and entertaining. It was great to see some classic mk characters plus new ones - Siro, Taja, Vorpax. I still think that Ed Boon and his team should add Siro, Taja and Vorpax to the actual game as official fighters. Call me crazy but this is my point of view. Anyway, "Mortal Kombat: Conquest" was very cool Action/Adventure/Fantasy series with a very big potential. It should have lasted longer...After this series I became a huge fan of Daniel Bernhardt, Kristanna Loken, Paolo Montalban and Tracy Douglas
fullenw This show is aimed at adults so don't think its toned down. MK Conquest is a prequel taking place hundreds of years before the movies. The 1st episode you see Kung Lao (wearing the hat for a second) beat Shang Tsung. Although Goro didn't appear in the series it shows what lead to him and Shang meeting. You see the origin of Sub Zero, how he and Scorpion met.A ton of characters appear throughout the series: Noob Saibot, Reptile, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Rain, Kitana, Mileena, Shao Kahn, Quan Chi, Raiden. The villains on the show were a bigger threat than the ones on the movie in my opinion because the villains would occasionally win. Now in all fairness, some of the story lines may not coincide with the games because this show aired in 1998-1999 while a new MK game comes out every couple of years. The fight scenes are a lot better than expected. The only bad thing is they don't have the music to go with the fights like the 1st movie.Its said the show got canceled because apparently a higher budget was requested. The show hasn't been released on DVD(well not legally anyway) and thats a shame. Its a must see though, better than MK2 and on par with the 1st movie.
Ragnar323 I watched the MKC just recently. Well.. it had a bit boring beginning, but then it appeared to be a very good and interesting show. Why was the second season can-celled? MKC stands far before the movies! MKC is #1 of all MK movies ever! It had all the features the movie of that kind should have! Comparatively to the movies MKC has much more fight scenes, which are much more impressive, and an exciting plot. It can be seen that Earth Realm is being infested with spies from the other realms, which are not allied and unfriendly to each other as well. More than that, MKC has an adventuring part! All that stands for a big advantage over the "limited" movies. Anyways.. Its a shame MKC was can-celled...
Nuriko Contains 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!
