I believe mortal kombat is a difficult movie to produce, when they try to include all the characters in a hour and a half.
To make a MK movies worth watching they need to pick 4 main characters at most and just develope them, then it's possible to do sequels. but not only did this modern version of MK have over 10 main characters forcing them to squeeze character development, but they also made the most important character a npc they should have made scorpio and sub-zero the movie with them having 3 rounds threw the movie in different places and at the end having a fatality like the game that we all like so much.
The movie is some what entertaining but because it waisted my time showing me the story of cole young. This isn't mortal kombat its like a spin off.
The saddest thing about this movie is that it has made me not want to see the sequel.
Cheers
