Review Time

Warning/Disclaimer: there are flashing effects/colorful effects/it would be just quicker for me to say this instead of listing everything; this film is not suitable for children and those of a weak stomach and Disclaimer if anyone goes searching for this I will not be held responsible; this will make better sense later on in this Blog/Review.

Storyline: it is good and it gets left on a question-mark ending/continuation. The pacing is likewise good and it knows what it is doing and it sticks to that plan.

Action/Art/Comedy/Characters/Performances: including the on-screen chemistry all of these components go hand-in-hand in one way or another; generally speaking first of all either together or individually the Action or Art does this franchise proud; meaning it can be beautiful and beautifully graphic for one example which I can talk about without being concerned about the graphic detail of the Action & Art; if we have any fans of Rammstein; specifically the track/music video for Links 2-3-4 from the album Mutter from 2000 where we have these many Ants taking on these Dung beetles [quick Disclaimer: if anyone should go searching for this I will not be held responsible.] But I digress as it relates to this film instead of these Dung beetles we have this Scorpion [of what we see it does not share the same fate as these Dung beetles.] This sequence is shot from the level of this conflict so we have a ringside seat for a short time and going on simultaneously we have Father & Son [Hanzo & Satoshi Hasashi;] Hanzo is educating his Son about Scorpions and without giving too much away its inner strength, the viewers should be able for we easily and naturally able to pick up on this; yes these two characters have a layered relationship Master and Pupil, Father and Son as Hanzo gifts his Son arrived home on his back; this relationship is very warm and all the voice performances are good.

Now for a little bit more substance without being too graphic; the viewers do get these like x-ray shots of what damage is being done at that specific time, the landscapes and things of this nature are really smooth and easy on the eye. But now I have some bad news if you wanted to see Hanzo Hasashi go through this metamorphosis into his legendary spectre Scorpion we don't see any of it; we just get this "Hanzo is dead call me Scorpion." "I am very disappointed with this metamorphosis, to be more precise it is garbage and yes I feel incredibly comfortable saying it is garbage, based on the grounds it's not like this character is one of your legendary characters of your franchise at all; Oh wait it is one of your legendary characters of your entire franchise, you have a funny way of showing it is not like this film title has his name in it and you are calling him Legends; Oh wait I have done it again it has and you are which he is. Oh well at least it doesn't have a sizable chunk of the storyline based around him Oh I have done it again silly me it does."

So as I have made it crystal clear they really should have done this metamorphosis justice and on top of that we have Quan Chi saying in short Scorpion is not immortal you're looking/hearing out for "You're strong but you are not immortal." I have to say this does make Quan Chi look really stupid; because it does come across as if he has no idea what powers or abilities or other he is bestowing on to individuals and what really puts over this idea is the fact Quan Chi says "Impossible" on seeing Scorpion again.

This is colossal they break a massive rule of Mortal Kombat which is if you don't know; it is one-on-one combat no one shall interfere in Mortal Kombat; I am not going to be two specific here but it happens in the final section of this film.

Comedy: there is a little bit of comedy like you watch out for the kick; they look like they really hurt.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; this mark is going  need to some explaining, this is how strong this film is in a positive sense that I can't give anything less even though it has problems.
