It was okay. As Grouchy said, the fights and fatalities are the best part. That and Johnny Cage was always funny when he appeared (Joel McHale absolutely nailed him). Unfortunately the movie is too short and trying to juggle both Scorpion's story and having the Shang Tsung tournament make both stories watered down and the stakes oddly feel low. And, sans Scorpion and Goro, none of the characters that are, y'know, bad guys feel as a threat because they don't have enough screentime to bpfeel like one unless you have played the games before. Like, for example you have Reptile and Baraka there, and just like that they're dispatched as if it was nothing.Quoting Ivan Drago (view post)
I mean, if the movie had been longer, more focused or had less charactersm it would've been really good, instead settkes of being dumb fun.
