Watch Mortal Kombat: Rebirth For Free

That was an excellent one.

ridiculous rating

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I may be 17 but I am a big fan of mortal kombat, loved the games and then liked the films, however I must say that you guys need to stop looking at this film as a remake, look at it as a brand new film. The concept is great, having the same old storyline would just be too boring and predictable whereas by bringing in a whole new concept for the film they are able to play with the storyline a lot more. And about the whole fantasy element, I would like to see a slight fantasy element but not as much as in the previous films or the games as that is too much fantasy, but the trailer doesn't mention any fantasy but then again it doesn't mention lack of a fantasy element, you really cant be sure unless someone actually does make a full film out of it. They chose a great actor for the role of jax as he is so bad ass. And as for the other characters I think I would enjoy watching the film and trying to figure out who is who before you are told, it would be interesting to see how the characters came to be. So again look at this as a brand new film, a "rebirth" of the film ;)

This short is really quite good. The action is really thrilling, the acting is about what I expected and the casting was great, at least for Jax and Scorpion. For those of you that think this short is nothing short of AMAZING, sorry, if you are looking for a cheap action flick that provides action with a severely lacking plot, then there are hundreds of movies like that from modern American cinema. Mortal Kombat has a rich story for most of its characters and to see their stories wasted on another film that goes for action graphics and tries to be more aesthetically pleasing than intellectually stimulating. Also, for those of you that think this short is the worst thing to happen to American cinema...you are most mistaken, that would probably be the remake of Clash of the Titans. Anyways, the dark tone that the short has and the frantic, overwhelming presence of mass murders in a city is something that has made the batman series a huge success. It does lack the supernatural element, which I think is key to the Mortal Kombat universe. If they found a way to keep the supernatural nature of the majority of the "kombatants" intact within the movie, I think it could be a huge success and pleasing to both fans and non-fans. Also, if you notice right at the end Hanzo Hasashi's eyes are...whited? out and he makes the claim that "Hanza Hasashi is dead." This could be hinting at the fact that he is the ninja spectre that we have all come to love. I also think that if non-fans did some research on the characters of MK, they can come to appreciate the supernatural elements, the interplay between Scorpion and Sub-Zero (both), the conflict of Raiden, and all the other rich elements of the MK universe. All in all I think this short lacks in certain key elements that make Mortal Kombat something different than UFC 121, but the direction that it is heading (meaning the dark tone and desperate feel) is right where a Mortal Kombat movie should be.

I liked the short movie very much ! I liked the idea of "dark" and it seemed like a very good idea to bring the fantasy in the every day life like Baracka and reptile being humans. But what i didn't like is some characters not being preserved to their physical aspect. I mean what the hell was Baraka doing with dreads it looked more like Kabal rather then Baraka. Michael Jay White as Jax seems perfect for the role but i wish they don't rush into this movie because it would be a pity to ruin such a great idea as Mortal Kombat.Nowdays movies are based more on the special effects then on the story line and acting performances. Maybe someone will read our reviews and take them to consideration.

This 8 minute short movie is 10 times better than the two stupid originals combined.Mortal Kombat brought into the real world. It worked for Batman and it definitely works here. If you haven't seen it yet go to you tube and watch it now! Michael Jai White is the perfect fit for Jax. The characters are more horrifying than they were in the video game. This is the movie I wish I saw when I was 12. Mortal Kombat was built on blood and gore and that is something that both the original movies lacked. In fact I don't remember seeing any blood in either movie. They should've been rated G.Mortal Kombat Rebirth would be perfect for the die hard fans who grew up playing the video games back in the early 90's.I hope to God that this is made into a full length movie.
