The First Mortal Kombat was a great movie, the second was cheesy...I have both, and I really hope they do the 3rd one justice.

I'm pretty sure there already is a 3rd one...

Clue wasn't a linear movie... nor was Memento... or Run, Lola, Run... Pulp Fiction... Some others. But then, there's like a thousand linear movies for every successful nonlinear one.

A link to the past...that would be good, nice and long, but very linear, Its just my personal prefernce,

How can movies be anything but linear?

By linear I meant that all the dungeons are similar, same same same...... no diversity as much as ocarana.

thanks kage that clears some confusion.

Yeah, didn't they use their heads this time and get the same director and cast as the first one?

I totally agree with you though. The first one was awesome, and the second one ... I was actually embarrased in the theater I was watching it in ... soo bad, it's worse then cheesy lol.

Unless you count the show (Conquest, not the cartoon) there isn't a third movie, Adam.

I think that's all Deadly Alliance was ... a good story line ... the game it's self pissed me off ... I wanted what they were known for ... good controls. [addsig]

Crono - I don't think they got the same director (Paul Anderson) as the first. He is the guy who went on to do the Resident Evil film, is working on the upcoming sequel, as well as the Aliens Vs. Predator movie. I can't imagine that on top of those he would take another MK film. I also read an interview with him in which he kind slated the second MK film and I doubt he would go back to the series tbh. Then again, I'm quite possibly wrong, I don't know for sure. [addsig]

Oh, I didn't know P.W.A. did the first Mortal Kombat .... no wonder I liked it so much lol. (I'm well aware of him and his other work ... you forgot Event Horizon lol)

Hmm, this was just 'fanboy' banter that was passed to me from a source that is usually correct in their information, so there's a very good chance that I'm wrong. However, they're done with RE: Apocalypse and AVP. Maybe, not effects wise or anything, but, they're pretty close. [addsig]

Forget that Paul Anderson, I'm all about the other directing Paul Anderson, the P.T. one.

Event horizon... that film sucks. It isn't scary, and it's based around the stupidest idea ever: that some new kind of space ship opened a gateway into another dimension... a dimension of PURE EVIL!!!

I thought it was pretty cool actually - not a GREAT film by any means, but entertaining enough. Much like the Res Evil film in that respect, come to think of it. [addsig]

So not a Doom fan eh, Jeff? I think it's an okay premise, but a pretty crap film. I mean come on, you can do better than a big floating golf ball for a reactor.

I think all of the Metal Gear's are being butchered here. The games currently out are:

Metal Gear - NES/MSX
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake - MSX2
Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge - NES
Metal Gear Solid - PSX/PC
Metal Gear Solid Integral/VR Missions - PSX
Metal Gear Solid/Ghost Babel - GBC
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - PS2
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance - PS2/XBox
Metal Gear Solid 2: The Document - PS2
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes - GCN

That's off the top of my head, I know there is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater coming soon as well.

What exactly do you mean by this? That the plot twist butchers the rest of them? (which makes very little sense, seeing MGS: 2 is only directly linked plot-wise to MGS: 1), that making them into a movie would butcher them? Please elaborate.

And you got all of them, yes. [addsig]

I was referring to the mix of 3 games you created by stating "MGS:solid snake". Just wanted to clarify. [addsig]

....I do NOT recognize this as a metal gear game ... in fact it's not even a game, it's crap. TOTAL crap.

P.T. Anderson is a very good director as well and he has writing his own films going for him as well lol.

Event Horizon wasn't that bad. Saying Event Horizon is bad is a matter opinion.
However, saying something like Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is bad is stating a fact [addsig]

I quoted some other quote, I wasn't really concerned with who wrote it, I was just clearing the message.

As for Snake's Revenge, yes that was the POS that America got (which is a great trend in the video game world...to get cut-down or cruddy versions.)
