There's no need to come up with explanations of how they have their powers, this is Mortal Kombat not the real world, they just have these powers and that's fine. Cole somehow has the tatoo because he's a descendant of Scorpion, apparently you can pass the tatoo by having babies. Apparently the tatoo can be passed on to the victor if the victor kills someone with a dragon tatoo. The movie tries to explain how these earthrealm fighters got their super powers by coming up with this idea of arcana, that these people chosen by a dragon tatoo can unlock their powers by having something happen to them. Jax does a cool fatality but at the wrong setting, he should have instead uppercutted Reiko into the bottom of the pit like in the first game. Liu Kang does his dragon fatality but makes you wonder why he doesn't just stay in dragon form. Kung Lao does a cool fatality and dies too soon. The Scorpion vs Sub-Zero fight scenes were cool but short. I thought Kano was decent and he mostly carried this movie, it's too bad he's dead now. The Mortal Kombat franchise has plenty of awesome characters they could have used but instead they decided to make up a brand new one who is mostly mute throughout the entire movie and when he does talk it's just generic gibberish. The movie introduces a brand new character, Cole Young, as the main character of the movie, big mistake. Started out great with the nice Japanese setting and suspenseful atmosphere but then it went downhill from there. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
