I was after watching the 2021 version of the live-action movie of "Mortal Kombat", and noticed that in 2020, an animated theatrical version of "Mortal Kombat Legend: Revenge of the Scorpion" was also produced, and the word of mouth was not bad, just look for it, let's briefly talk about this movie.
First, in terms of roles. It is much the same as the characters who appear in the movie version, slightly less than the movie version. On this side of the earth world, there are Thor, Liu Kang who plays with fire, Sonia, a female special forces soldier, and Jonny, a famous boxing player; the outside world has sent a winning champion Golo, with four arms and a huge body, in addition to many strange beasts, such as the lizard monster that also appeared in the movie that will stealth and spray venom, or duel with Sonia. The Hell Realm sent the Scorpion, who was killed by the human Hanzo, and was appreciated by the masters of Hell because of his great revenge, and was sent to participate in the final duel, but in fact to steal a key. The Heroes of the Three Realms gather here, and before the tournament can begin, Sonia's boss, Jax, is ripped off by Golo' arms, a scene that also appears in the movie, but the movie is destroyed by Absolute Zero. Absolute Zero is a soy sauce character in this movie, and I don't know which world he represents. In addition, there is a mercenary group Black Dragon, but the overall strength is too poor, and there is not much drama.
Secondly, in terms of movement. Because it is an animation, there are a lot less restrictions, and it is directly how to gore. Various close-up scenes of human bones being broken, a knife cut the head melon seeds into two pieces, pulled out the human head with bare hands, connected to the spine, a shuttle, strung together three or four heads. It is highly recommended not to watch after meals.
Finally, in terms of plot. The game itself is known for its simplicity and brutality, and is not good at too complicated plots. Therefore, the most worthwhile scene in this film is that the hell controller fist idiot decryption is that he pretends to be absolute zero, kills Hanzo's wife and children, and has the nature of a bit of decryption. This is completely different from the live-action movie version, the ultimate villain Zero degree becomes a soy sauce character.
The first protagonist of the film is definitely the Scorpion, and the film does spend most of his time telling his story, and the display of his skills is also rich, teleportation, chain knife, including the final ultimate trick, spewing out the fire of hell. Compared with the more complete plot of live-action movies, the biggest advantage of this animated movie is the more straightforward killing scene, which interested friends are recommended to watch.
