Like his subordinate Shang Tsung, he has the power to consume other souls. However, his true power that has served him well and allowed him to rise above the image of a mere warlord is his high intelligence and profound knowledge of the black arts. He has also spared the lives of other victims such as Sindel and Kitana, raising the latter like his own daughter and treating the former like his own wife. He is also known for his extreme callousness, brutality, ferocity in battle, and fondness for personal executions, although he has occasionally spared the lives of his subordinates after proving their worth to him. In many respects, he resembles a large Asian warrior, and is well known for his God-like strength which rivals, if not outright exceeds, that of Raiden.

#Mortal kombat chaotic sucks movie#
Remember Ninja Assassin, that 2009 movie starring K-pop sensation Rain? Lots of action. (Okay, okay, Joe Taslim’s Sub-Zero has a nifty scene or two.) Elsewhere, the cast - including Chin Han as a sorcerer (no laughing at the back!) - while admirably diverse, are saddled with soul-sucking dire-logue between the kicks and punches. McQuoid should’ve grounded the kung-fu-ery and let his actors unleash their fists of fury with minimal CG dressing the SPFX-tinged brawls just look uninspired, silly and, er, video-gamey. Others, however, will probably stay for the action, which is reasonably passable… if the John Wick films never existed. First-time feature director Simon McQuoid dials down the techno-cheesiness of Paul WS Anderson’s 1995 version (which begat a woeful sequel two years later) and cranks up the gore (holy exploding nogging!) and expletives (“I did six tours, motherf***er!”), settling for a more grim and serious tone, a move that’ll appease fans and red-meat eaters. Based on the notoriously violent video game, Mortal Kombat concerns the fate of humanity being tied to a pugilist tournament between Outworld (they bad) and Earthrealm (that’s us), with a bland Lewis Tan ( Wu Assassins) as the Chosen One reluctantly pulled into the death match. Enough about Nobody, let’s talk about Mortal Kombat, an action flick that committed the cardinal sin of being high on stunts but low on actual excitement. Starring Lewis Tan, Joe Taslim, Tadanobu Asano, Chin Hanīadass, thrilling and smart.
