An absolute cinematic disaster.
After the vicious slaughter of his family by stone-cold mercenary Sub-Zero, Hanzo Hasashi is exiled to the torturous Netherrealm. There, in exchange for his servitude to the sinister Quan Chi, he’s given a chance to avenge his family – and is resurrected as Scorpion, a lost soul bent on revenge. Back on Earthrealm, Lord Raiden gathers a team of elite warriors – Shaolin monk Liu Kang, Special Forces officer Sonya Blade, and action star Johnny Cage – an unlikely band of heroes with one chance to save humanity. To do this, they must defeat Shang Tsung's horde of Outworld gladiators and reign over the Mortal Kombat tournament.

Hot Take: Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge actually is?
Rewatched Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
