Very good movie. Sequels to be expected. Perhaps the strangest thing about this movie is that there is no tournament. I think some reviews are harsh - especially from critics. Given the premise of this movie, the acting was not bad. Of course loads of room for improvement, but come on - this movie was NOT BAD. The acting to me was pretty good compared to what these types of movies almost always produces. Not Oscar-worthy, but certainly not bad. I do think they should have cast Liu Kang differently - he was way too small!!! Agreed on some other reviews .. Kung Lao goes down way too easy. In the real MK he is way tougher. Cole Young did not provide the pop that he could have .. but to be honest .. the movie was pretty good!
