They setup Cole like they setup Alice in the Resident Evil movie. Why is this person ahead of other main characters of the actual series? Why does this character have the ability to do what they do? Why introduce a new character when you will likely have to kill him off eventually so the other characters can shine instead of trying to write your own story that never happened or had the chance of happening in source material? I'll watch a sequel, but if they keep making Cole a big deal, I might lose interest just like I did with the RE franchise of movies after the second one.

Other than that, same thing as everyone else, Kano was awesome, Sub Zero was well done, and when Scorpion and Sub Zero tangle, it's the best fight of the movie hands down. Kung Lao was spot on, Liu Kang was underwhelming and more of a human fortune cookie than a fighter, I don't see how he reaches the heights of what he's supposed to become, especially with Cole in the way. Maybe when they introduce Kitana that'll be his man viagra and he'll bounce back. Jax and Sonya were well played, the other villains are forgettable, with Reiko being a villain in one of the worst acted fight scenes I've ever seen when he goes against Jax, he just screams a bunch and when he takes a hit it looks so damn fake lol. This movie needed to be 20 more minutes of fight scenes for me to say great things about it, but it was good, worth snagging your family's HBO Max credentials to watch it.
