So this one snuck up on me! I try to keep my ears quite close to the streets of the movie and TV world and although I've heard Michael has been making some moves and putting things together, I never heard of this at all...or at least I definitely do not remember. With a rumoured Creed 3 (I think he is meant to be directing), A Journal for Jordan he is currently filming and with a bunch of producing credits from Fahrenheit 451, Gen:Lock and Raising Dion, Mr. Jordan has come a long way since Wallace in the TV Show, The Wire and he is doing well. This trailer on the other hand, not only shows us Michael can be a Movie Star (not like they exist much any more) but, he could possibly start a franchise with him as the leading guy.
This trailer looks great. Dark, gritty and with a great cast. It really does irritate me that John is such a generic action name, Matrix, Rambo, Wick, Constantine, McClane and now Clark, but to see someone (what looks like) get shot from underwater and then a car getting set alight and someone going into it whilst it is burning and I'm assuming, seconds away from blowing up, I couldn't stress enough how much I am involved and looking forward to this movie. Besides, it's nice to see Jamie Bell and Guy Pearce but even better to see Jodie Turner-Smith
Directed by Stefano Sollima and starring Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Luke Mitchell, Jack Kesy, Brett Gelman, Colman Domingo and Guy Pearce

I've not seen a great amount of Zack Snyder's work. I say that because I legit feel he has done a bunch of movies and I've seen just a few of them. As I thought about the sentence you've just read, I looked up Zack's filmography and he has 17 films to his credit. Six of those he has written or it was his story. Four of those six, he has produced. And three of that four I have seen. Ok then. So out of the initial six I mentioned that he has written, the 6th is this movie, the teaser trailer I'm reviewing, but he has directed two out that and I've seen those two. So, I guess I'll start again.
I've not seen a great amount of Zack Snyder's work, so I had initially thought, but out of the 17 films to his credit, whether written produced or directed, I've seen 11, not to mention the 4 which are unreleased. So, that's 11 out of 13!!! Believe me guys, I didn't realise I was such a fan of his work, like really, I actually did surprise myself. But I say all that to say this, although I've mentioned before in my reviews that Zack is more style and cinematography over substance, that Zack (to me anyway) is a better Michael Bay than Michael Bay, I definitely could not have, nor see this trailer looking any other way than glorious! The angles and visuals, the slow motion. Zack knows how to bring you entertainment that just looks stunning and this is the reason why I watch all of his films (minus 2 of course). 300, Watchmen, Suckerpunch, Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman...his films have this look and feel to them and in most cases, epic-ness. The shot with the helicopter with the sun as the backdrop, the upward shot of Dave Batista running across casino tables shooting or the over the "hotel" almost birds-eye shot of the Zombie Horde all gathered together, the colours and style, it all looks great. I'm going to be honest, I'm not in it for the story, I'm not...but a bunch of guys who seem to be pulling off a Casino Heist in the middle of a, I guess Zombie Apocalypse...my first thought was, "Where are they going to spend the money?", but who really cares? It really is whatever really as it looks really good. Let's see another trailer, but I'm definitely in.

Red Band Trailer - Please note adult themed material.
I will try to make this trailer review short, but I am of an age that was alive and playing computer/video games when Mortal Kombat came out. It was a game that was meant to divert attention from Street Fighter II back in the day. Something different and challenging. I got the first Mortal Kombat game on my, hmmm....I want to say Super Nintendo, having rented it from Blockbuster video and I loved it. Ok, details are a bit fuzzy, I did rent A Mortal Kombat from there, it might have been 3, but the point is, I was alive and played the game which also meant I enjoyed it, bought Mortal Kombat 2 and watched the movie also. Whilst the movie was terrible, It was nowhere close to as terrible the Street Fighter movie was, which was also nowhere close to how terrible the Super Mario Brothers movie was. I say all of that to say this, having played these games, seen these terrible movies (although Mortal Kombat is the more superior out of the 3 I mentioned), this trailer looks like it is done for people like me. Although I haven't played the latest Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 11, this trailer is for them. For the fans of the franchise and I love it.
It seems they are changing the lore a little and adding bits here and there but whilst there are rumours to who Cole is, for the most part, this trailer seems to be giving Mortal Kombat fans across the world, exactly what they want, iconic characters, iconic moves, bosses and fatalities and as gory as the game. Love it! Visually, it could look a lot better, but if i'm honest, I don't think it's bad enough for people to care enough about it. Seeing the guy from Supergirl as Jax, he is totally unrecognisable which completely baffles me. He looks sooo good. Let's just hope as good as he is and this trailer, especially some of these shots like Sub-Zero freezing the shotgun blast and freezing blood in mid-air to form a dagger, let's just hope this movie is just as good.
Directed by Simon McQuoid and starring Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada
