As a long-time fan, I remember being a bit disappointed with the first Mortal Kombat movie. Sure, it delivered on the brutal fatalities we expected, but it took some big liberties with the story. A lot of us were frustrated by the new magical system they called ‘Arcana,’ and honestly, the fact that the actual Mortal Kombat tournament barely happened felt like a miss. The biggest issue for me, though, was focusing the story on Cole Young, a character we hadn’t known before, instead of the established fighters. Thankfully, the trailers for Mortal Kombat II suggest they’re learning from those mistakes, and it looks like Cole might be in trouble!
