Woke nonsense... 2 and a half hours I won't get back
The 'escapism' of watching movies is dead, as every single new flick has to be infused with wokeism and politicsloading replies
@eon4dk so you're just regurgitating what other dudes say online and can't expand on your comment.
Never forget to sprinkle a little racism towards whites in to your movie, gotta appease that woke crowd.

@hard31337 I knew the fragile far right would be upset over one line said by the Gen Z daughter.

@eon4dk and there it is...
Enlighten us, what was so wOkE about this.
It’s not a movie.
It’s just another bland, soulless mass product that’s primarily aimed at the Chinese market.
Now that WB is the only real studio releasing big movies, it really shows what a joke of a studio they’ve become during the last 5 years.
Not that they didn’t release crap before that, but at least there was something like a good Mad Max, Harry Potter, Matrix or Lord of the Rings film somewhere to be found in their slate.
It would seem Villeneuve and Nolan are the only real talents that are left at the studio.
For nearly every other film they make, they seem to think that appealing to the lowest common denominator will give them the biggest return on their investment.
I.e. the action scenes are more important than the story or the characters, and the scale needs to be huge, even if it looks tacky and fake.3/10

@jordyep I had to say you're wrong about the Chinese market part. Chinese have no recognition of the Mortal Combat franchise whatsoever, since the games never made it to the market. If you said so based on the amount of Asian faces you saw in it, we all know what that means.
When i watched the CGI i was thinking "Finally a movie that doesn't use animals to make money" but how wrong i was! The first half of the movie was SO BAD, the other half was average, the acting was awful, the sound mixing was horrible, shi*** plot and the Bella's voice ruined those few things that were "good".

A quick Google search will tell you this movie isn't even released in China. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293429/releaseinfo
All the filthy load of money they are getting there is from the illegal downloads, which is, surprisingly, zero.
But truth probably doesn't matter because China bad.
Could of been a lot better without any political crap in it...

@tmurd87 what was political about it?
How is that 55 people already voted four months before it was released? Seriously?

@nalliendraug Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.
