The film was fun as hell. But I think it suffered from fan service.

Cast, costumes, makeup, SFX, storyline, it was all good and I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek style but there were moments that made me wish internet pressure weren't so heavy nowadays.

"Get over here!" from a 300 year old ninja was jarring, along with the other catchphrases ('flawless victory', 'fatality' etc). I think there was less thought given to people new to the franchise (which is almost everyone to be fair).

Liked the orchestra stabs though (cheesy or not), I knew they'd find their way in somehow. Overall I'd give it a 7/10, loved the action, enjoyed the new character and everything, but it seems to me it managed to be too Mortal Kombat for its own good in places.

I wanna see Ermac next.
