Lambert was doing Bewoulf I think, so they picked Remar, who I personaly thought did an ok job, his dialogue was the problem. I think it would've been better to just leave out any of the characters of the actors that weren't returning from the first film, like Cage, Sonya and Raiden - wouldn't have been so lame. But hey, that was only one of the smaller problems MKA had...

It wouldn't have been the film people's decision it would have been the actor, probably saw the script of MKA and ran a mile

Like I said... if they have Christopher Lambert and James Remar on the same set, Chris should be Rayden, and James should be Fujin (God Of Wind). Remar looked just like Fujin in MKA. He'd do way better as him.

Yeah, and they should have just completely left out this scene:

"Never give up hope!"

"Raiden?"

"It's a new look."

*Is proud of himself*

Absolutely ridiculous.

Yea, when I first saw that, it seemed like something Raiden would never say.
At Barber Shop:
Raiden: "So Lui Kang, how's the new hairdo?"
It's something like that. Soon they'll have Scropion doing something out of the blue. Like scraping his knee and crying.

I agree.

Yup
