With well over one million views on its very first day Mortal Kombat: Legacy could be called a phenomenal hit! Machinima began the ten episode run on YouTube and it is proving that if you launch (online) it they will come. Michael Jai White along with Jeri Ryan are seriously busting chops and taking names this time around even though White (as Jax) still has human arms and Sonya Blade (Jeri Ryan) appears to be tied up an incapacitated throughout half the first episode. We notice that Kano (Darren Shahlavi) also still has both his eyes so this may get interesting if the story line is changed very much. Well presented and with great visuals the series has a PG rating but look for plenty of violence and strong language in spite of that, seemingly because they've tried to set the show with a dark style as seen in movies like Se7en or even Saw with less emphasis on the mystical aspect and more on fast action and bloody scenes to keep all ages begging for more episodes.
