Better than expected, but the same old storyline

[siderite · 8/10 · 13 April 2020]

There is a fine line between respecting the intellectual property and expanding it. Do too little of the latter and you get an army of fans complaining you've destroyed their childhood. But do too much of the former and you get something that lacks any mystery. Unfortunately this is the case of Scorpion's Revenge. Nice animation, decent voice acting and a lot of violence. But in the end it's the same old story of Scorpion getting his family killed and seeking revenge against the same people. The characters are a subset of those in Mortal Kombat II plus Quan-Chi, with cameos for some of them, like short Kitana and Jax sequences, a Motaro for a few seconds, no other ninjas or robots except Scorpion and Sub-Zero (and too little of that one), no Kung Lao and no Jade or Mileena. It promises a sequel where we can see more of Shao-Khan, who only appears at the end, Thanos style.

That being said, the film was solid from start to end, with entertaining fight scenes. I dare say, though, that the beginning of the film was way better than the rest. If they would have continued in the same style, first of all it would have been a Japanese anime, second of all it would have been awesome!

Bottom line: only in this crazy world you can see a WB logo where Daffy Duck is being grabbed by Scorpion's "Get over here!". What I want is an R rated MK movie with Mileena as the antihero. Make it happen , WB!

Scorpion's Revenge is BADASS

[bhernandez2216 · 10/10 · 13 April 2020]

I wasn't expecting a perfect R-rated animated film. It has all the badass moments, incredible fight scenes, and humor, and they also show one of the best bloody gory fatalities that I enjoyed and they actually delivered it very well. Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge is an awesome animated film to watch.

All I can say is i hope they more

[digitalpimp6 · 10/10 · 12 April 2020]

When I started watching it and seen it was WB,I knew it wasn't going to be cheap. I was blown away by it.I've been waiting for something good to come out of Mortal Kombat forever, and boy did I get it. All the characters ya know from the series and they didn't hold back at all with the blood and gore you would expect from MK. Its the best MK movie ever made hands down. I only hope WB stays with MK and makes many more of its caliber.

Mortal Kombat as it should be: VIOLENT

[MinistryofDoom · 7/10 · 24 April 2020]

Scorpion's revenge is a retelling of the first Mortal Kombat game, upon which the first live action film was based. However, it delves more into Scorpion's background and how he came to be the undead vengeful spirit / yellow ninja that fans have come to love. It's every bit as gory as you'd expect and then some. This animated film isn't for the squeamish. You'll see plenty of evicerations, decapitations, impalings, and nonstop blood and guts. This isn't a kiddie cartoon by any means, nor should you expect it to be. The animation and A-list voicework was superb. Warner pulled no punches here.

WTF

[eventlaunch · 10/10 · 12 April 2020]

I loved it, now why cant live action do screenplays like this amazing animated movie please continue series

Extremely fun movie, too bad that it's too short

[guilhermeribsilva · 9/10 · 17 April 2020]

I absolutely loved it, it's not perfect but it's great, the fight scenes are full of impact and gruesome moments, the humor in this animation (most of it comes from Johnny Cage) is also a positive, the main character... Well, I love Scorpion but I really think they could have gave him more depth, maybe it was limited because of the movie's length which is way too short but, that's probably why it's so fun.

It's a fast-paced, impressive and very entertaining movie, loved it.

Its violent and feels empty.

[ThunderKing6 · 6/10 · 27 March 2021]

MKLSR is bloody and sadistic.

The story is the cliché story of them coming to a realm to fight to the death. Blah blah blah. You know the rest. Something's although are different. This version is about Scorpion. It's like an Origin story for Scorpion.

The twist with Sub zero felt rushed. The whole film felt empty. You see tons of people in the beginning then they disappear.

The production was excellent. The violence was the most violent I've ever seen in a cartoon. Its top-notch gore and they didn't PC it down for the children. The Only thing that was an error was Cage's character. Cage seemed like he was on the spectrum.

What can be learned? Hope.

Verdict: Get over here.

brutal animation

[wazim-92594 · 9/10 · 12 April 2020]

Surprisingly good for an animation, probably better than the films. Excellent effects and descent story line to go with it.

It's definitely a good start!

[liaal · 7/10 · 21 April 2020]

If done right, Mortal Kombat has the potential to become a billion dollar franchise! This movie, while it does have some changes from the original story, takes a step in the right direction.

Not Great

[tjminter · 5/10 · 8 May 2020]

After reading the reviews, I really expected something amazing. It's not the worst movie I've sat through, but it just didn't live up to the hype. It's definitely the most violent animated film I've ever watched, but that's cool that's Mortal Kombat for ya. One of my biggest gripes is that the story seemed rushed and modified unnecessarily. This would have been a lot better as a 2 part movie. The character design was good, but the animation itself is choppy. Last, much of the dialog sounds like it was written by an 11 year old who thinks he sounds cool cursing when his parents aren't around. I'm no prude to profanity, but so much it just sounds forced... like kids do.

Honestly, I hope you enjoy the movie. You paid for it after all. Just don't be surprised if it's not what you're expecting.

Best Animated Mortal Kombat movie

[SpiderMan2543 · 10/10 · 12 April 2020]

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge is everything you want in a Mortal Kombat Animated movie: Bloody action, bad language, everything. It is so good. The movie does not deserve a 6.6. It deserves a 10 out of 10.

GET OVER HERE

[robbnsjeanz · 10/10 · 12 April 2020]

One of the best animated series, please continue, we need more.

Vicious!

[chrispule · 7/10 · 27 April 2020]

Joel McHale as Johnny Cage was great comic relief to the all out assault action of the Film. Scorpion!!! Get overrrr heeeeereeeee

Amazing

[educallejero · 9/10 · 18 April 2020]

We have here the same story, more or less, but with the liberties that animation gives to the writers, plus the Scorpion plot integrated. That means more characters, more action, more fan service, and a bit more story too.

And it is perfect. The animation quality is off the charts. I love the designs, but that depends on the viewer. The bloody battles, the humor, the fast pace, the craziness. Everything works.

I guess some voice actors are better than others (Sony and Shang Tsung are kind of weak, Scorpion and Cage great, the rest more than fine). The score is good but not awesome, and the dialogue is what you can expect (serviceable to advance the story and not much more than that). What this movie does is this: I want more animated Mortal Kombat movies, and I'm desperate to see if they can translate this level of passion for the IP to the live action movies. I can't conceive how a fan wouldn't like it. I don't know about non fans.

Thanks. Thanks for this.

At 6 out of 10, in my book, it's not as good as the 1995 original but is still better than this year's live action.

[therskybznuiss · 6/10 · 30 May 2021]

How many times will they retell this same story? First, a videogame, then a movie, then remake each at least once more and do a few t.v shows.

This is perfectly fine for what it is. I liked it a hell of a lot more than this year's live action. It's not Shakespear, and it's not meant to be.

Amazing

[milosmicovic · 10/10 · 13 April 2020]

Loved every second of it. If only was the live action movie like this. 😊

Scorpion's revenge is victorious but does not finish with a fatality

[bharath-karthikeyan · 7/10 · 5 May 2020]

Scorpion is an excellent choice to begin the narrative and the movie opens up to a good premise. Patrick Seitz voice as Scorpion, the quality of animation and the entire presentation comes up as a very interesting package.

The problem of the movie is that its too short, it introduces almost all the important characters of the MK universe but ends with a fizzle as the finale loses in proper execution as its obviously a short animated feature and cannot fully represent all the characters. Its just the problem that the ending was too obvious and probably thats the root of the disappointment for me to bring the score down.

Worth a watch if you like cartoons Animated gore and a must watch if you MK excites you! FIGHT!

Enjoyed a lot

[cocmak · 10/10 · 12 April 2020]

The action scenes were totally epic and spine-shivering..... enjoyed alot love the story line and the well built character background 👌

Well it was okay !

[igl-55560 · 7/10 · 16 November 2020]

Good fighting scenes, good twist ! I enjoyed it ! What else would you expect from Sam Register ? And of course, there will be a sequel.

Mortal kombat animated movies

[griffinlennox · 10/10 · 12 April 2020]

Bring on more animated mortal kombat movies with a story from every known character.

More then what I though it would be!!!!

[cruz-30832 · 9/10 · 14 April 2020]

This movie surprised me indeed.. It had a lot of action and it sure wasn't milk toast at all, very fitting of the mortal Kombat name for sure. I almost can't believe that this movie was produced and put out.

Flawless Victory

[roadbytheriver · 7/10 · 15 February 2024]

In this animation, MK is as it should be. Live action movies unfortunately are not of this quality. It has high-paced action. It's definitely not boring. There isn't much character depth. But the fights in the tournament will satisfy fans of the game. Although the fights are a bit short, many characters are given enough space. Considering the duration of the animation, the stories are partially handled well. There are humorous dialogues. They stayed true to the story in this successful production. The good news is that there's plenty of blood and gore, just like in the game. Mortal Kombat fans should definitely watch this production. They won't regret it. The character I choose most while playing this game is Scorpion.

I thought it would be trash, but I Loved it!!

[raverlion · 10/10 · 13 April 2020]

The trailers didn't do much justice for this movie. Cheap animation, boring story, cameos, I had no intention of watching it. Friend of mine, lifelong MK fans that we are, bought it and within the first 5 min I was hooked.

The story was a fresh take on the original tournament, action was directed insanely well, violence was beautiful, and dialogue was fun and well written. Johnny Cage was perfect and Sonya, Scorpion and the rest all had great personalities.

I can't recommend it enough for a fun ride, the action scenes were directed like a fine tuned DBZ episode. Only minor complaint was Shangs voice, but besides that it was super fun to watch. Really think they should have used this script for the upcoming movie. I hope they make some sequels to this movie. MK for life!
