Went with four stars for the film. Lots of action, but I have some issues.
First, I was not a fan of the Cole character. The movie tries building him up as a big character, but when they reveal his powers, I thought that it was pretty lame. Some of the other characters that are known in the game did not get much of a backstory. Take Melina, a fan favorite that didn't have much of an impact. Lui Kang and Kung Lao also are more support roles, which was a little disappointing. They did do a great job with Sub Zero & Kano. Kano I think is one of the best things about the film. Very intriguing character that played a great comedic side to the movie.
Overall, I'm happy with all the action from the film, but would like to see the next movie have more impactful characters.
