8/10
Best Video game to Film adaption
28 April 2021
The GOOD: Cano's dialog wins.

Opening scene is a flawless victory.

Great fights Cool sets Good stunt work Good to see Nathan Jones again but his scenes are fast and they never show him in side by side shots like when he fights Jax.

Goro's design is cooler looking than 90's movie Goro but he did not need to die.

Gore and foul language : ] Miles better than the two 90's films.

I'm "Game" for a pt. 2

The BAD: Yes, Cole was not needed in this film at all.

Jax could still be played by Michael Jai White.

Sonya Blade......meh. Her character should be ripped like Sarah Connor.

Yeah some cheesy scripting but then again it's a game.

The end track based on the cheesy 90's techno song was still cheesy 90's sounding with a drop of Dubstep at the end. Dubstep is about 5 years too late.

You shroud never see Raiden's eyes or see his mouth move when he talks. His voice should come from the sky like a God with a cool effect.

Overall a very well done for a first time Director. An enjoyable Pop Corn film.

I spent hundreds of quarters on the arcade versions 1,2,3,4. I was a freak about it in the 90s.

Notable video games to films = Monster Hunter and the first 4 Resident Evil films.
