Down right disappointing. *Spoilers ahead* The storyline and introduction of a new character was terribly executed and not necessary considering the franchise has so many characters and story arcs to pick from. Apart from the first fight scene and part of the last fight scene this movie was far from the A Grade movie all the social media hype made it out to be. Probably a C at best. Simon Mcquoid's directorial debut shouldnt have been a massive franchise as his lack of experience clearly displayed he couldn't deliver the lore behind MK. The YouTube series Mortal Kombat legacy did a better job at showing character origins and story arcs than MK 2021. The lines and acting were so bad, I often kept asking myself if they just screened a rip of the originally intended movie or was this the actual movie. Total waste of time.
