I thought it was pretty good to be honest. The story was admittedly slower than the previous movies but the characters were well done. Johnny Cage and Ashrah being co protagonists was definitely interesting and worked surprisingly well. Also nice to see Raiden in the movie. Sareena and Shinnok being the main villains was also really cool and I liked that they added others like Kia and Jataaka. Overall it's a fun watch for a Mortal Kombat fan.
