Mortal Kombat fans right now the Mortal Kombat moves are like buses since you wait years for one to come along and then three come along all at once and well. Now there's yet another Mortal Kombat movie out there that's just this second been released and so join me as I review the newest or even the latest animated Mortal Kombat film / movie with the film / movie in question being called simply just "Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle Of The Realms" enjoy.
Now then the actual plot of this film is the heroes of earthrealm must once again defend earthrealm when the forces of Shao Khan invade earthrealm and challenge our heroes to one final Mortal Kombat all the main Scorpion has to team up with an old foe in order to prevent a god like creature from being resurrected and merging all of the realms together. Now then in terms of what I personally thought of the plot of this film in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the plot of this film was really freaking inane but in a good way since I wouldn't expect a Mortal Kombat film to have a plotline that's not insane and so the fact that this film had a plotline just balls to the wall insanity is a very good thing indeed in my opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Joel McHale as Johnny Cage , Jennifer Carpenter as Sonya Blade and Jordan Rodrigues as Liu Kang. Also starring in this film is Patrick Seitz as Scorpion , Artt Butler as Shang Tsung , Cyrax and Shao Kahn's Soldier , Robin Atkin Downes as Shinnok and Reiko , Dave B. Mitchell and Raiden , Kintaro and Sektor , Ike Amadi as Jax and The One Being , Grey Griffin as Kitana , Satoshi Hasashi and Li Mei , Fred Tatasciore as Shao Kahn , Matthew Mercer as Stryker , Smoke and Demon One , Bayardo De Murguia as Sub-Zero / Kuai Liang , Matthew Yang King as Kung Lao , Paul Nakauchi as Lin Kuei Grandmaster , Emily O’Brien as Jade and Lin Kang and Debra Wilson as D'Vorah.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought or even felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film in all honesty I in all honesty thought or even felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film was very good indeed. This is because not only is the script for this film very good but also all of the actors that are appearing / starring in this film are also very good actors and actresses and so of course the acting in this film is going to be freaking good because all of the actors and actresses that are appearing starring in this film are really good actors and actresses in my opinion anyways / at least.
So then doing the animation for this film is Studio Mir who did the animation for Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge among many other TV shows and movies and well in terms of what I personally thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this film. Well in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very film was so freaking good that's actually unreal at how good the actual animation in this film actually is since every single fight scene practically leaps of off the page / screen because that's how good the animation is in this film in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then without giving anything away I will say that this film is worth watching just for this films opening studio credits / studios logos. I won't say way this is the case but I will say that this film pretty much brings to animated life a now possibly even classic internet meme and what made this shall we say surprise appearance even more shocking and kind of hilarious is the fact that they got this persons actual voice actor to record what this person says in the opening Warner Bros Animation company credit / company lol and if your like me you will find this cameo to be freaking hilarious but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.
Now then even tho i've been quite freaking positive about the film thus far and I will be continuing to be positive about this film in this very review there are some things about this film that I personally didn't like about this film. Like for example the fact that both Scorpion and his new friend just straight disappear from this movie near the end of this film which wouldn't be a problem if there plotline wasn't something that was really important to the film however given how important that there plotline was to this film I really do think that more time should have been spent on fully developing this particular plotline in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then the other thing that I didn't like about this film is the fact that the Scorpion and his friend plotline could have been a whole entire third film onto it's self because it had the potential to be that epic of a plotline but nope they squeezed or squished it into this film which means that what could have been an epic plotline is now just an above average subplot / side plot / side mission at best. Now then I will very much admit that there was alot of times where I just straight up laughed out loud at this film and alot of those truly laugh out loud moments came from the one and only Johnny Cage who is just so freaking funny in his antics in this film in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this film is exactly one hour and nineteen minuets and forty six seconds long and well if i'm being well and truly and very freaking honest here people this film had the perfect amount of running time in my opinion anyways / at least. Since even when you combine both of this films main storylines / plotlines there really isn't enough there in terms of either plot or story to cover anything that/s even to one hour and thirty minuets in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this film is an action film after all and there is action in this actual action film that means that I have to to actually talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this very film / movie and in my opinion anyways / at least the action that's featured / presented to us in this very film / movie is really freaking cool. I won't give away why the action that's in this film is so freaking cool but let's just say that this film earns it's mature rating just from the fight scenes alone and plus it's always cool to see some really good looking fight scenes in a well done animated film / movie in my opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this direct to DVD animated Mortal Kombat movie is alot better then the most recent 2021 live action Mortal Kombat movie which really isn't saying that much since that movie is pretty freaking bad in my opinion anyways / at least but this film does indeed have alot of faults of it's own and those exact same faults that keep this film from being a perfect film in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this film film gets a grand old score of a 7.5 out of 10 from this Mortal Kombat fan AKA me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Mortal Kombat fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official Mortal Kombat fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up , featured and on the official Mortal Kombat fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
