Mortal Kombat Leyendas: La venganza de Scorpion

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
