Yeah, i mean, it sucks...but upon recent viewings, it DOES offer cool fights between the weak plot. Sure you watch a film for plot mostly, but also to be entertained and i guess MK:A does sorta entertain in the end. It seems as if they try to make it bad and cheesy with some things, but there's always fast-forwarding to the fights and you've got close to 30+ mins of good action.
It did ruin Shao Kahn, introduce bad ugly CG monsters, give earth ancient high-tech passages which play Jim's striptease music, have CROWDS of useless characters (however, the focus is kept on a few, so not so bad), change Rayden among others and give him some bad lines and, worst of all, use the ANIMALITY, really horrible bits, in general also downgrading production values.
But then again, the Scorpion Vs. Sub-Zero fight is classic, every fight involving a Cyborg rocks, and the showdown in the end ain't half bad, and fortunately they give a pacing in which there's a battle every 2 to 5 mins. And i actually find myself watching it every now and then cuz, MK is a fighting game, and MK:A has fights. Many.
