The New Mortal Kombat Move is Just Going For It!
At long last, the first trailer for the new live action Mortal Kombat movie has arrived. And jeez louise, people, this movie is just going for it! They’re not being the least bit subtle. Just live action Mortal Kombat in all its glory!
I’m sharing the trailer here on my blog, but it’s a red band, so you may need to just click the link through to YouTube to watch. It’s definitely worth the trouble!
I don’t even know where to begin with this trailer! We saw a bunch of posters for characters yesterday, but clearly the movie is going to be chockful of Mortal Kombat characters. We saw Goro, we saw Reptile, and I think we saw my boy Smoke at one point! And that’s not mentioning all the main characters, like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Liu Kang, Jax and a billion others! Again, this movie is just going for it!
Digital effects simply weren’t up to snuff back when the first movie came out. Perhaps now we’re ready!
Mortal Kombat comes to theaters and/or HBO Max on April 16!

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Continues to Look Worse and Worse
All opinions are my own. Zack Snyder’s version of the Justice League movie — now a 4-hour movie — is only a month or so away and it looks terrible. The first full, official trailer was released on Valentine’s Day and it’s…oh jeez. It’s a beast of a monstrosity.
This isn’t satire. This isn’t parody. This is real. This is…jeez, what is this? Slow, melodramatic, so full of itself…at least he didn’t re-use Hallelujah again! This thing looks like madness, and every trailer is worse than the last. I’m a huge fan of movie trailers, but this looks so unappealing.
I’m probably still gonna watch it! Zack Snyder’s Justice League comes to HBO Max on March 13!

Let’s Take Another Look at Raya and the Last Dragon!
The next big Disney film to come to premium streaming on Disney+ is Raya and the Last Dragon. Will it be good? I don’t know. I still think it looks a little too ambitious in these trailers. But who am I to judge? What the heck do I even know? There’s a new trailer!
Hopefully it will be great. I definitely plan to pay for the premium movie premiere, so I hope it will be worth my money. I love dragons! I love good fights in movies! So I’m going to hope for the best!
Raya and the Last Dragon comes to Disney+ (and theaters, I guess) on March 5!

Honestly, I Think I Liked the Street Fighter Movie
It’s been a couple years since I last rewatched the live action Street Fighter movie, but I’m pretty sure I liked it. I guess it’s not a masterpiece or anything, perhaps not even a good movie. But hey, it exists!
Honest Trailers continues to not have any new movies to make videos about, so we’re doing classics. More power to them, I say! We all need something with our lives these days.
Also, did you know Ming-Na Wen played Chun-Li in this movie? Neat!

Raya and the Last Dragon Is Coming
Raya and the Last Dragon is the next big animated Disney movie and they put out a new trailer this week. And it’s…good? I want to say good. But something just feels…off to me. I think it’s the voice. Kelly Marie Tran voices Raya, but I think she was a second choice at some point. And I Just don’t think her voice syncs up perfectly… See for yourself.
The story also seems too ambitious. It seems a little too complicated.
But hey, maybe I have no idea what I’m talking about. There exists the very real chance that I am entirely wrong with my gut reaction to this new trailer. I hope that is the case. I hope this is another banger.
Raya and the Last Dragon comes to theaters on March 5, along with premium access on Disney+.
