Mortal Kombat

Posted the first episode a few weeks ago and then completely forgot to check out the rest as they came out. Here's episode 1-4 of the new Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series.

I found the first three episodes to be pretty enjoyable. Jeri Ryan is still hot after all these years and Michael Jai White is usually a fun actor to watch in a fight. The fact that they made Johnny Cage into a washed up former Power Ranger actor is a hilarious turn.

Then I got to episode four. What a let down.

The show goes from being a somewhat grounded-in-reality(compared to the previous MK movies and TV show) and reverts back to the crazy mystical crap the series has been putting out since the beginning. All I wanted was a bloody tournament filled with psycho's and freaks and some cops with maybe a dash of sci-fi thrown in. This realm invasion/other magical stuff is so old.

    I've bookmarked these to watch in bed tonight :)
    ...but from what you've said I won't raise my hopes for anything great.

    Much agreed with your final conclusions. If they went the way of the Batman reboot and stuck to explainable stuff, it would have left a much better aftertaste.

    I'm glad they went ahead with this, though I was hoping it was going to be a movie when I saw the first teaser.

    Mortal Kombat was never really a story-driven sort of game anyway.

    Oh man the Johny Cage one, I laughed so hard. I wish that we could do that kinda stuff to TV producers sometimes though. Backstabbing bastards.

    Agreed, the magic/supernatural stuff isn't nearly as cool as a nice, fast paced fight scene.
