Why is he a weakling in this version ?

He gets beaten up quite lot and wins only one fight

It's probably just another metaphor for america. 😄

Meh. Im as interested in a weakling Superman as I am a smart Hulk. 👎

He's not a weakling. He gets caught in Lex's trap, which makes sense in the context of the story.

Is this real? Looks like Kung Fury.

Yes and no. It is a trailer for a Johnny Cage martial arts movie in the Mortal Kombat universe. It is real insofar as Karl Urban is going to play Johnny Cage (which is pretty weird), but it's not actual scenes from Mortal Kombat II. 

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Ah, it's a trailer from inside the movie. Since this is apparently the second Mortal Kombat movie, was the first any good?

most of that movie are terrible

few scorpion scene are widely enjoyed

So this is a sequel to the 2021 movie? I thought that was decent. This looks more silly, which is fine. 

They all pale next to Mortal Kombat : Annihilation

They never beat Lambert's dirty chuckle for Raiden.

Wow, that was really good. Theres a great mid-credits scene too that ties some things up. Michael B. Jordan has some chops imo.

I know a lot of people have done the twin thing, but he did it extremely well. The posture and expressions made it very clear which character was which.

I still haven't played Mortal Kombat 11 because it takes more than 100gig disk space.

And after that the franchise is rebooted again anyway

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Super short reviews of three recent films, using the nationally famous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_throw_(review)

Sinners - Intriguing up until a certain point. There was potential there to be a great film, but for me the last part was rather generic and uninteresting. 4/6

28 years later - Surprisingly good. There's tension there, and heart. It looks great and sounds great, with a good dose of weird too. I liked it. 5/6

Fantastic Four - Competent and coherent, but uninspired? I was never bored, but also never surprised or feeling any excitement. Much better than the other F4 films of course, but it felt very "comittee made" and followed the moviemaking playbook. I liked the guy who played the Human torch. 3/6

No wonder the new Superman is so popular, they just followed the Marvel formula. Even have the token evil imaginary country speaking Croatian. Come on guys what do you have against Croats...

Wait, is that a rhetorical question? As a serb, shouldn't you know the answer? :p

jimmy being so popular are the most unbelievable part of the movie

that and the media turn against billionaire so easily

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

Second time watching this. I didn't remember it being quite this potent a nightmare. Robert Altman was really off his marbles, but I'm glad he was able to make a truly great movie with Shelley Duvall here - I both despise and love her in this movie, and that's a very strange place for her to be and I think that's wonderful.

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
