I don't know why MK fans cancel out the movie-universe and the movie canon in general. It follows the MK 1-3 story quite accurately. This is where we see Reptile's character shine in the way I love most; a slithering reptilian evildoer henchman lurking in the shadows waiting to strike on master's command; the perfect character archetype that is my personal favorite.

I think there's a split between MK fans who prefer the MK9-X story and the ones who prefer the MK1-3 story which was the basis of the movies. I personally don't prefer either. I simply dislike MK4 through MK7 as those games were rather poor in comparison to the originals in terms of story, roster, and the polygonal pixel box graphics didn't make it any better... and it wasn't till the last two installments [MK9 and MKX] that they got back a bit of the Klassic spirit and elements.

I personally like the newest MKX variation of Reptile, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Ermac, etc. equally as I do the MK Trilogy series versions of them, but that's because they finally brought back their original Klassic ninja outfits with amazing graphics. Come on, everyone loves the color palette swap of the original ninjas; and @Aggression25: green is my favorite.
