Mortal kombat 6 scorpion
The second half of the movie becomes a rapid series of fight scenes, character cameos, and plot twists of questionable logic.
The movie’s biggest problem is that it tries to do the epic Mortal Kombat tournament arc on top of a more personal Scorpion story and ends up doing justice to neither. Though we get a lot of time with Scorpion up front, he’s relegated to the B-story for the rest of the film once the Mortal Kombat tournament kicks off.
MORTAL KOMBAT 6 SCORPION SKIN
How did he learn to control his new powers? How does he feel about losing his humanity and becoming a skeletal fire demon? The film isn’t interested in going more than skin deep with its protagonist, so we never find out. If ever there was a time to slow things down and dig into the franchise mascot, it was this film, yet all we ever see is how much pain he can take and then dish out, over and over again. (Want to know the real thing Scorpion needs to get revenge for? Being left out of Mortal Kombat 3! Not putting Scorpion in a Mortal Kombat game is like leaving Batman out of Injustice. It's tough to root for the guy when he doesn't have much in the way of weaknesses or personal flaws he's there to kick ass and spear people through the face, which he does time and time again to visceral results. There's even a cheesy scene about where his name comes from. As events unfold, the movie starts to bear a striking resemblance to X-Men Origins: Wolverine where Scorpion is transformed into a killing machine who lays waste to everyone who gets in his way. The film starts by showing us the human side of Scorpion, Hanzo Hasashi (voiced by Patrick Seitz), and the devastating reason he wants revenge. Still, this animated flick is full of the grisly ultraviolence and irreverent charm that has made Mortal Kombat such a violent delight for all these years, so you’ll definitely get what you came for, but not much else. Though the film starts strong by showcasing the tragedy that made Scorpion the hellfire-infused Kombatant we all know and love, it’s not long before it becomes encumbered by franchise fan service and collapses under the weight. Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge offers a new perspective on the familiar Mortal Kombat story by making Scorpion’s arc the spine of the narrative.
