The MK film is definitely a good film. Story is basic but done right, and it prepares and introduces the MK world and lore very well. You will see characters teased in coming sequels, along with realms and different races. They balance story and fights very well, there is a good formula going. There are some silly and stupid moments like cheesy dialogues and delivery of them, but there are many amazing and super cool moments to compensate, like good timed comedic moments, character chemistry, tons of easter eggs, and of course the fights!
Do not be worried about Cole, he is a good character and you'll end up liking him. We see the MK world through him which is a good writing move. Best characters are Kano, Sonya, Kung Lao, and Kabal. Raiden, and Mileena could've been better. Lui Kang, Shang Tsung, and Jax aren't bad. Obviously Scorpion and Subzero were perfected and stole the entire movie! In terms of CGI, the environmental could be better, but the character's CGI (Powers and effects) are perfect and look great! Fight scenes 10/10, great, intense, and very bloody and gory, they did not hold back on the fatalities.
Overall, a MK fan would probably love this, and for a person who knows nothing about MK would probably find this movie very cool.
Enjoy the film!
