I was quite fine that the movies were light on the gore. In fact the gore is the aspect I like least of Mortal Kombat.
But about the third movie, I never actually believed it was going to come out. I thought it was all rumors and such, so I was never really waiting for anything. I could be very wrong and in that case I may be lucky as I never had hopes of this movie in the first place, because I didn't believe it existed. But if what they say is true and a movie comes out, i'll see the movie. I can't make judgements of it now, as it hasn't come out to theaters, but honestly i'm not sure if it ever will. If the info on that page that states Robin Shou saying that the character Lui Kang wont be in the movie therefore he can't/wont be in the movie and its a movie that revolves around Sub-Zero; I'm going to have to say that I am a bit turned off about that idea, but I won't be so quick to say that its a bad idea, as I would have to see how it is pulled off.
