Mortal Kombat Legends: ciega de nieve

Having watched the previous two film in this Mortal Kombat Legends trilogy, Snow Blind feels quite different. There are different characters and the graphic animations here is vastly more gruesome, violent and brutal. Right from the opening scene, it sets the tone for the rest of the film.

The story is a step up from the second film Battle of the Realms and overall more engaging throughout. The animation and color is just as good. There could have been more developed work for the characters.

At times, there are confusing scenes as but in general this film seems more fitted for hardcore fans of the franchise.

I would love to see more mortal Kombat animated movies. Please keep making these.

I would love to see more origin stories.

We need sub zero movie as well.

I want to see all these movies become connected to each other something like avengers movies. That we get origin movies of each character and at the end mortal kombat competition.

I would love to see a female mortal kombat movie including kitana and other characters.

I'm happy to see mortal kombat finally getting something than more just games. There is so much potential in mortal kombat universe it would be huge miss to waste it. Findlay got 600 characters thank you for reading.

The MK timeline is just forever all over the place now huh? I'm not mad about it though, it's just an observation. The titles for these animated movies are "Mortal Kombat: Legends" so it's not an issue but this is the first one that really feels like it's doing something completely non-canon. Surprisingly, they actually did try and tie it back to the games at the end but I won't spoil that here.

The movie is an alternate origin story for Kenshi, a popular PS2 era Kombatant. Of the more "modern" games, he was easily one of the best new editions, so it doesn't surprise me that he's the first to get his own solo film. Not quite solo though because Sub-Zero is also here and ends up being the one to train Kenshi.

The real change was having Kano be the main bad guy, that was kind of cool to see. Kano and his Black Dragon thugs are terrorizing villages all over a Mad Max-esque wasteland and they must be stopped. I loved the nerdy cameos in his crew, there were bad guys from the awful video game "Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, Drahmin and Jerek even had a cameo! Good stuff for MK nerds like myself.

The fighting and violence are all well done but there were a few iffy spots of animation. The plot is very generic but still fun to see play out. Feels like an adult Saturday morning cartoon in many ways. It moves by really fast and I was never bored. I liked some of the ways they changed the characters up and Scorpion in particular gets a really cool redesign.

If you are an MK fan, you'll enjoy it. If you are a fan of animation, you'll most likely enjoy it. If you are a huge plot person, you may not love it. It's an easy recommend to action and MK fans though.

Although not as action-heavy as the previous part, it still performs reasonably, primarily because of how organic the narration is.

I love how they had given proper time to Kenshi, one of those characters in this Mortal Kombat universe, which I believe has always been sidelined because of other prominent personalities, underappreciated, in spite of possessing a remarkable set of powers and skills!

He finally got his due recognition, and I couldn't be happier.

Now as far as the film is concerned, it is an enjoyable ride with fair amounts of bloodshed to entertain your yearnings, to satisfy your innermost appetite. Still, somewhere the story comes across as very routine, with the same arc we have encountered thousands of times! I wish the writer here had taken more risks instead of playing a safe hand!

Set decades after Liu Kang defeats Shao Kahn and Sjinnok, the Earthrealm has become a wasteland after revenants begin to lay waste to the realm. However, this has not stopped Kano, who has survived the events of Scorpion's Revenge and has become a cyborg, to form the Black Dragon and begin to take over the outposts. Kuai Liang, the second Sub-Zero, lives his life as an elderly farmer, and is attacked by three members of the Black Dragon, Kabal, Kira, and Kobra. However, trying to take over a new outpost for their own, the three are stopped by a boy named Kenshi Takahashi, who came to the town seeking a fight. After being nearly killed by Tremor, Kenshi is tricked by Shang Tsung, who serves under Kano, to release the souls of his ancestors to gain a sword, leaving the warrior blinded, he must help Kuai overcome a past event that has driven the Lin Kuei ninja to a solitary life to fight the Black Dragon and end King Kano's rule over the wasteland.

Loosely based on Kenshi's backstory in Deadly Alliance, this movie decides to go a new direction, going for a post-apocalypse setting a la Mad Max, as Kano and the Black Dragon ride vehicles similar to that movie franchise. Other than Sub-Zero, Kano, and Shang Tsung, no other characters from the last two films appear (other than a statue of Liu Kang), as the story focuses on Kenshi and Sub-Zero battling against the Black Dragon, which contain fan favorites like Kano and Kabal to more obscure characters like Kobra, Kira, and even No Face (who was only seen in the lackluster Special Forces as a boss character). However, like Battle of the Realms, which had Li Mei and D'Vorah on Shao Kahn's side, this movie adds in other characters to fill the ranks of Kano's crew (two of the most notable being Ferra/Torr and Erron Black), which will confuse those who don't know Mortal Kombat Legends is separate from the games.

As the characters go, they have been redesigned, with Kobra needing it the most (so people can stop calling him a Ken Masters rip-off), and Kano is rocking the cybernetic body and orange mohawk. However, this movie is not as good as the last two, as most of the plot is Sub-Zero playing Mr. Miyagi to a blind Kenshi, and while the movie retains the blood and gore, it seems to be there mainly for random moments, with only few moments where it mattered in the story. I think it's an okay movie, but the anti-apocalypse setting and the lackluster story weighs it down hard.
