I'm confused, is this out already?
Not in the UK it's not, they've been absolutely stupid with it. You have to proxy over to the US to get HBO Max, or sail the high seas.
Ah I see. The mods are being a bit lax then aren't they.. I know pirates are gonna pirate but it's not great for the forums if people are discussing movies that aren't legally available yet. That's the second thread I've seen today..
Legally available? The internet is global not just constrained to the UK.
You can watch it on Google Play or Amazon using a VPN and US accounts

I actually really enjoyed it even if I agree with most of the points put forward for why it was rubbish. 
I think because I went into it kind of expecting it.
It almost felt like a 90's film (with it's completely cheesy dialogue and slightly below par acting) with modern filming techniques and fight choreography.
6.5-7/10. I'd definitely watch a sequel.

As long as people aren’t outright advocating piracy or saying “it’s available on this torrent site” etc then I think we have to be willing to be laid back.
And different companies licence content for different regions. By using VPNs to access content from a differently licensed location you are breaking the law. I thought that was obvious
Anyway, thought the admins were pretty hot on this but obviously that's changed. Not my problem..
EDIT:
I totally get it. It kinda ruins the chat though imo.

Well I for one can't wait for the day they take me away for using VPNs.
Mainly because I'd laugh all the way to the bank since there's no law against it, terms of use on various services? sure, but no laws.
I'd imagine you'd be breaking some type of copyright/IP law but I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to get sucked into that argument. TV/streaming providers pay an awful lot of money for content and the more people that work around those licensing/distribution deals - the more likely they will start to take action.
All I'm saying in this instance, is that it kinda ruins the vibe and chat of movies/TV in here because some people are chatting about titles not yet released in the UK. Seen as this is a UK-based forum I don't see why the mods don't just state that you're not allowed to talk about titles not yet released in the UK. End of story. Meh.
You should go and have a word with the people in the Games Pass thread using proxies to get it for cheap using Brazilian codes.
Plenty of people on this forum aren't in the UK regardless of where the forum is based. Are they not allowed to discuss media until it's out in the UK? It's a bit pedantic tbh. I've been running proxies to watch content for years, half of them advertise the fact they let you bypass region locks on streaming services. It's not my problem if these companies want to play silly beggars with the UK and release everything late, as far as I'm concerned they're getting their money for my view and that's that.
How much money do you need to make a decent martial arts movie?
* Hero: $31 million
* Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: $17 million
* House of Flying Daggers: $12 million
* The Raid 2: $4.5 million
* The Night Comes For Us: <$4.5 million
* Headshot: $2.07 million
* The Raid: Redemption: $1.5 million
MK2021 had a budget of $55 million, and it was a great big steaming pile of donkey ********. Hollywood never learns.

Have to agree with the above. It started so well. The feeling of the characters like Scorpion and SubZero being normal people with a story, felt like it had unimaginable possibilities, and I loved the way Radon turned up. Sadly from that point on it was pretty turd.
I can understand some comedy breaks interludes from Kano but it became the Kano Komedy show pretty quickly and then just got worse and worse.

Probably because most of those movies are a decade plus old and costs have went up since then, factor in a few full cg characters and it's not that surprising. And realistically 55 million for a movie these days isn't all that expensive considering they run into the hundreds of millions.
It's not about cost. It's about how Hollywood chooses to spend the money. If they had enough cash for special effects, they sure as hell had enough cash for decent choreography. They chose not to spend money on decent choreography. That's all there is to it.
And what was wrong with the fight choreography?
Is Goro the 4 armed fella? His fight with the main guy was awful to be fair.
Im awful with names

Well he is fighting a cg character, whether or not someone was standing in for goro or he had to fight thin air is anyone's guess. I'd presume someone was there in a greenscreen outfit, can't be easy to choreograph a fight against an 8 foot 4 armed opponent as there's really no frame of reference as to how that would go in practical terms vs a game fight where physics don't apply.
