Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge – 2 out of 5
I haven’t really been into Mortal Kombat, except for the early days—I think I fell off the wagon around the third game and stopped really paying any real attention after the awful second film came out. Sure, occasionally here and there I’ll pay attention to what new game is coming out but the whole gimmick of being the ultra-violent game kinda ran its course with me. When I was a tween and the first game came out, I thought it was cool to see blood in a video game because I was a dumb kid (and I actually still remember the blood code for the Sega Genesis one) but that sort of novelty can only keep my interest for so long. Still, I admit it is very possible to make a film based on this property and make it work. The first attempt has its moments (the second is really only good to riff on) but, beyond that, I really haven’t seen anything MK movie-related that has worked in my opinion. There was a lot of buzz around the animated, direct-to-video feature; Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, but the buzz was almost entirely on how violent and “mature” it was. I should have taken that as a warning sign that it would utterly lack substance because too often fandom mistakes hyper-violence for maturity. Well, I checked it out and found it to be really disappointing.

After losing his son and entire clan to their rivals, Hanzo Hashashi (Patrick Seitz) swears revenge on the Lin Kuei ninja Sub-Zero (Steve Blum) before his spirit is transported to the Netherrealm. There he is supposed to be tortured for all of eternity but he breaks his bonds and prepares to battle all of the demons in the realm but the evil imprisoned sorcerer who rules the realm; Quan Chi (Darin De Paul), offers him an opportunity for revenge. An ancient tournament called Mortal Kombat is about to begin and if he wins and retrieves a magic amulet that has the power to free Quan Chi of his own master; Shinnok, Hashashi will be set free. Hanzo agrees and becomes the ninja Scorpion. Meanwhile, the thunder god Raiden (Dave B. Mitchell) sends his champion Liu Kang (Jordan Rodrigues) to the tournament and he meets up with an out-of-work actor who hopes the tournament will bring him celebrity status again named Johnny Cage (Joel McHale) and a Special Forces agent named Sonya Blade (Jennifer Carpenter), who is trying to track down a crime syndicate leader in the tournament. Together, they are introduced to the man running the whole thing; Shang Tsung (Artt Butler), and his powerful minion Goro (Kevin Michael Richardson). Now all players must fight for their lives and for the future of both themselves and the world.

Scorpion’s Revenge is getting some great reviews but I failed to experience the magic that critics and audiences were getting hit with. Honestly, I found it to be an ugly, very messy film that was only entertaining for fleeting moments. It actually has me wondering if it will ever be possible to see an adaptation of Mortal Kombat that doesn’t feel so hollow because this one definitely felt like it was more about just trying to be edging with some gory violence than it was on delivering a product with an engaging and entertaining story that had some decent animation to it.

| FIGHT! |
Right off the bat, I found the character designs and animation to be really unattractive. If you’ve ever read any of my reviews of the DC animated films from Warner Bros., I have been recently criticizing them on how cookie-cutter they feel thanks to very generic feeling character designs and animation that feels rushed. There’s nothing about them that standout. Scorpion’s Revenge sorta looks like the generic WB character design but they add in some unnecessary heavy outlines and shapes of shadows on the characters that make them look strange. For example, every character has these black boxes to act as shadows of their knuckles and it just looks weird. Also, very on-brand for the WB animated, direct-to-video features, the 3D animation is integrated poorly with the 2D and a lot of the animation comes off wonky and a little off.

| The heavy outlines on the knuckles just looks so odd. |
Randomly, animation will get stylized with the violence and it doesn’t mesh with the very homogenized animation of non-violent sequences. Additionally, the angles used on the violence sometimes works against the action and it makes it hard to really see what is going on. Finally, the overall look of the film just felt so flat and lifeless…and often, too bright. There is no ambience, no atmosphere to the product. It never felt like it had any darkness that should accompany a product like Mortal Kombat. The adult violence and language set against an animated product that had no character to it made it feel so superficial and generic. Honestly, the animation is so flat and lifeless and has no depth to it that it really made this product feel like a phoned-in MK product.

| I have nothing to add here. |
Mortal Kombat is nearly solely defined by its violence—I’m sure diehard fans will argue that it has a rich mythology to it that defines it but, let’s be real, everyone instantly thinks of “Finish Him!” and fatalities when they think of Mortal Kombat. The violence in this one is definitely graphic and that will definitely be enough for some people but, for me, it got a little repetitive and its shock factor quickly wore off due to it delivering too much too often. The film also over uses an “x-ray” motif to show the level of damage being done (taken directly from the game franchise) and this, honestly, felt unnecessary. If didn’t make the violence more entertaining, exciting or shocking. It just felt like a needless reference to the game that was used a tad too often.

Story wise, I just couldn’t get into this film and found it to be messy. The title may say this is about Scorpion’s journey for revenge but the movie never felt like that was the case. Pretty much only in the first and final act is this feature about Scorpion. Through much of the middle of the film, the feature is all about Liu Kang, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage and, when that is the case, it feels incredibly sloppy. Backstory, conflict and stakes are haphazardly and rapidly thrown out in order to make it feel like they have a real presence and purpose in the movie. Matters aren’t helped that Cage is quite possibly one of the most annoying characters I’ve ever seen in a movie but the whole product feels unfocused and like a bunch of MK expectations are thrown at a wall and they just settled on making it seem like it is a Scorpion feature.

The cast in the film is…okay. For the most part, they are all serviceable but too many members of the cast didn’t feel like they were the right match for the character they were playing. For example, Artt Butler’s voice didn’t feel like it belonged to the old man visage of Shang Tsung. I had a really hard time getting through any scene with Johnny Cage because not only is the character completely insufferable but Joel McHale's performance almost matched that a little too well. I already can only deal with McHale in small doses because his gimmick of being a sarcastic asshole gets tiresome really quick and when he is basically play that up to a level of 11, it wears out even faster--not to mention, the story loves seeing him get hit in the crotch so everything about Cage is just unbearable. No one is particularly bad though in their performance but I didn’t see anyone who really stood out.

| No knock on Butler's performance but his voice just didn't look or feel like it fit Tsung's look. |
The reviews are good for Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge but I found it to be very disappointing, trivial, and uninspired. It feels like it is trying to act like just showing blood and guts is enough to make something appealing to certain demographics but it didn’t hide how empty and messy it ultimately felt to me. I wanted to like it because I really would like to see an excellent adaptation of the game made but this just showed me, once again, how difficult it is to adopt a video game, nonetheless fighting game, into a movie. I guess it is for the hardcore fans of the property but, for me, it just didn’t deliver in any real and significant way.
