Anyone enjoy the movies?

When I was a kid I loved them but now that I'm older and try to watch them...I just facepalm at the bad fighting choreography and acting.

But the games...I'll always love those :)

Mortal Kombat avatar FTW.

Mileena <3 even her Tarkatan face isn't a turnoff.

Only recently, I've owned Shaolin Monks which is pretty good. Can't beat the classics though. MK9 looks fantastic, so I'mma buy that.

The first movie is good. The second one…

Let's just say that co-creator Ed Boon once said that comparing the two movies was like comparing lemonade to piss.

They were hell-bent on trying to add in loads of fighters with little characterization. Plus, they screwed up some of the games' plot.

James Remar was poor as Christopher Lambert's replacement. In terms of characters, the second one was better though. It had Motaro, Jax (in a starring role), Baraka, Ermac, Rain, Sindel etc. If the script hadn't been so poor, it would've been orgasmic for every MK fan.

EDIT: I was too slow.

It's true though, very little characterization. Only Sindel, Motaro and Sheeva had some personality aside from the good guys.

When has a movie based on a game ever been successful and true to canon?

MK movie one stuck somewhat to the first game. Hell, Ed Boon/John Tobias even retconned Kano to make him an Australian because they liked Trevor Goddard's performance so much.

The animated Street Fighter II movie was good.

Yeah. They actually had a hand in the creation of the first.

Nope. Not all the admins/mods. Admins/mods like Satoshi-Kun and Hikaru aren't included for instance.
