Mortal kombat scorpion movie watch online free

As a lifelong MK fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Its crisp, deliciously bloody, gory animation perfectly captures the spirit of the games it represents. Its voice acting is top-notch. Its characters are, for the most part, incredibly entertaining. For characters who got their time in the spotlight, you could feel their energy coming off the screen. And I must say, this movie spoils you rotten with homages to the games and plenty of creative ways to deliver you the same over-the-top, messy, shock-inducing violence that Mortal Kombat has always been known and loved for.

When this film gets into showing you just how incredibly brutal the world of Mortal Kombat is, it REALLY shows you. I can't stress enough how beautiful the animation was. I also can't stress enough how gorgeous the fight scenes were. These were the movie's best qualities by far. It was also very refreshing to witness the return of Patrick Seitz as Scorpion. Since MK11 came out, I'd personally found myself missing his voice coming out of Scorpion, so it did my ears good to hear him here. I can also say the same for Steve Blum as Sub-Zero, even if Sub-Zero only gets four or five lines in the entire movie. Regardless, Scorpion's Revenge excels in its depiction of fast-paced, pulse-pounding action.

However, the film suffers from a lot of glaring flaws plot-wise. For a story that is loosely based on the events of Mortal Kombat 1, it does surprisingly little to keep itself structured. The main issue is that the movie's focus is supposed to be on Scorpion as he loses everything, is reborn in the Netherrealm with supernatural powers and a thirst for revenge, and is sent on a rampage that would only end with the death of his nemesis, Sub-Zero. Unfortunately, Scorpion's story is severely hampered by the fact that the movie also tries to tell a rushed, unnecessarily nuanced, very sloppy recreation of the story behind MK1.

All the characters that appeared in MK1 are there, but they're hardly done much justice in terms of their reasons for being present. Liu Kang, Raiden, Sonya, Johnny Cage, Kano, Goro, and Shang Tsung all appear at various points, but there is so much happening, and so many other characters being thrown in the mix (Kitana, Jax, Reptile, Baraka, and Quan Chi also appear), and the movie tries to find a reason to make these extra characters relevant that it comes across as something of a jumbled mess of half-baked character development and flimsy reasons for the plot to be pushed forward. Some of the characters mentioned above only served a specific purpose, and then either disappeared completely, were killed off, or were used as a MacGuffin or Red Herring for the sake of the plot. The story totally falls apart in the final act, with certain characters engaging in very questionable actions with next to no explanation, and then the ending felt totally rushed as though the writers ran out of room to fit the boatload of disjointed plot details that... I suppose you're expected to believe will lead to some sort of sequel? I can only say that, if you're a fan of the games and you're expecting a totally faithful retelling of the first game, you're... not gonna find that much here. You may be disappointed to see the lack of focused direction in this movie's plot. I know I was once I finished watching.

All in all, Scorpion's Revenge is a wonderful love note to MK fans all around, and there's not a doubt in the world that, even if you're not a fan of Mortal Kombat, but love graphic cartoon violence and action thrown at you at blistering speeds, this movie is certainly one I'd recommend checking out. It's difficult to give a full stamp of approval, however, when it's clear that, for a movie called "Scorpion's Revenge," there is surprisingly little "revenge" to speak of. To be completely honest, this movie would've done its title character MUCH more justice if they'd stuck to telling a story about Scorpion and cut out any relation to Mortal Kombat's main story. There's plenty to explore with the ninja specter, but this movie missed a lot of opportunities to do just that because it loses focus about halfway through. Regardless, I'd still say give it a watch and be appropriately mesmerized by the overall stunning job the creators did with this film.
