I don't care about who say the movie was bad. As a Mortal Kombat fan this movie is awesome.. It's better than all the others,so why criticize it so badly. I didn't need to see Johnny Cage in this. Think about how exciting the sequel will be when Johnny Cage finally enters. They try not to put all the best characters in the movie at once. We don't want this to be another JL mistake which will make the movie feel rush. And yet reviewers are saying it's rush. And they also consider making this into a sequel hence there was no official tournament. But they were still 1 verses 1 fights which was exciting. And awesome. They use all the slants like get off me. They were even the stun part, where u can go ahead and finish the character. They did great trying to make the movie fit in without making it too video gamey. Apart from the outfits.i kno the sequel they will be coming back with the real deal.Its just sad that my favorite character died. But I'm sure he will be back as an outaworld badass. Great movie. Will be watching this countless times.
