Uhhhh,,,I'm confused.

Oh my goodness. I made my comment above BEFORE I watched this new trailer. Shame on you, Hugh, shame. This is like a crap cocktail made up of Swordfish and X-Men 3, with just a sprinkle of Someone Like You.

Wiseguy, you're right. That kid is already making me wish I was deaf. He's the new Jake Lloyd. Fortunately, it's not an established franchise and five years from now, no one will care that some idiot casted a horrible child actor in such an iconic role. Oh wait, it's not iconic, it's Real Steel. All is well with the world again.

I'm shocked...no, APPALLED, that no one has bothered to add the actual sbutitle to this movie: 

"REAL STEEL: The Untold Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots Story"

Dawntreader, I agree that Jackson has not made very many good movies. But you can't forget to mention The Prestige! He was great in that!

krathwardroid: Sorry, didn't realize you meant the new game. I downloaded the demo and you're right, it has nothing to do with these videos. But I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the games' often wavering continuity. And I didn't like this video's Shao Khan. He's no longer some wretched villain obsessed with destruction and chaos. Now he's just a jaded warlord with feelings. I already miss the badassery.

Funny how you all think the horribly written, unintelligibly reimagined crap that was the first three episodes was good, but the first episode that actually follows the games' story receives nothing but complaints.

Krathwardroid - this follows everything that was explained in the stories for Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 for Kitana and Mileena (even down to Kitana's father's name), so it's a bit odd that you would say this doesn't follow the story.

Indeed it was poorly done, just like the other three, but it at least gets back to the Mortal Kombat world that we all know and love. I'm just fully relieved that they presented Baraka the way he really is (cheesy-looking as he was) instead of that stupid surgeon-turned serial killer with telescoping butter knives tied to his arms.

Does it bother anyone else that the Japanese guy who got killed in Tokyo Drift is one of the "returning" characters in this?

Lame. Very lame.

This is NOT clever, it's NOT great, and it is certainly NOT well done. Kano loses his eye because Spawn punched it out? Come on! And 7 of 9 is still pretty freakin' hot, but she's not right for the part. And the fight choreography looks like it was designed by a 16 year old who took Karate for 6 months and believed the the Star Wars prequels were works of art.

Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we cast some Belgian prick as an American soldier, a New Yorker who can't throw a kick as a Californian martial arts expert, and an American Indian with a bird chest as a 7-foot tall Muay Thai champ? Oh wait, they already made that piece of crap with Street Fighter. I know, let's rape another successful property by taking it OUT of its stylized fantasy world and make it realistic!

Next project is X-Men: . They're not mutants with special powers any more. Now they're a school for the gifted... as in downs' syndrome, autism and cerebral palsy!

I swear if Sub-Zero shoots ice out of liquid nitrogen sprayers on his wrists I'm gonna throw up.

Is it just me or does the new Spidey suit look less like something out of a big-budget comic-adapted movie and more like it came from a cheesy low-budget TV show?

Based on the video above, though, I am happy to see some practical effects and not solely CG.

Need to get the facts straight, pal. Hutcherson was Fraser's nephew in the movie, not his son.
