Mortal Kombat | April 23 2021 | Warner Bros. | James Wan producing

I thought Kang was fine. He did what he was asked which is play him as a solemn monk, but Chin Han was terrible as Shang Tsung. And ditto Raiden. The Sonya girl wasn't great either. Most of them sounded like DTV performers. -
Does anyone know why streaming films get such a smaller number of audience reviews on RT compared to theatrical releases? You'd think streaming would be expanding the audience for these films, but Mortal Kombat only has 2500 reviews, whereas most even moderately wide theatrical releases have at least 3-5,000.

After the Snyder Cut's success, it should be obvious to them...give filmmakers carte blanche and stay out of the way. It's clear the problem is studio-wide though. Godzilla v Kong was factory-made top to bottom, no Adam Wingard thumbprint whatsoever. And Mortal Kombat apparently had 30-40 minutes cut, including major fight scenes.

Weird thing about Iko is he's still young enough to get big roles in Hollywood, but either he chooses not to or...I don't know. Speaking of, why wasn't he cast in this movie? -

He was the only consistently good part of the movie. It's like the writers knew how to write for him and no one else. -
I think we all just wish, no matter how much we like the MCU, that they would give it up and let a director spread their wings. It's not going to ruin continuity for a filmmaker to be allowed to embrace their own style. If Zhao's Eternals doesn't look different from the rest, I don't think there's any hope for this happening in the future. They've already got her working with an anonymous Marvel DP instead of her own DP (her partner Joshua James Richards).

It boggles my mind that streaming numbers for these movies aren't at least three times larger on OW. Unlike Netflix, HBO Max actually ensures every subscriber is aware of the movies debuting there. Unless I'm forgetting something...is SAMBA TV only for certain households? -

Curious about the lack of interest in this thread... -
I don't know if you guys know this or not, but in terms of the actual martial arts that Jackie Chan and Jet Li and others employed...kung fu isn't a real martial art. It's a form made-up for the movies and derived from myth, but in terms of stunt work and choreography they're utilizing other martial arts.

It's driving me crazy not having streaming numbers for these big movies. We have no idea how popular or unpopular they really are when at least half of folks are watching them on HBO or Disney+ -

The new rendition of that song doesn't really hold a candle to the original, but that's okay. I've heard they're still using the original in the movie. -

I don't begrudge people wanting to see this story "elevated," but they can't be surprised given WB's recent reputation. They clearly mandated Godzilla v Kong be under two hours and they did the same to '17 Justice League.
