Summary: A very good action movie indeed.
Review: This is a nice action movie which is completely outrageous and interesting with actors like the mileena one which in reality,is a taekwondo fighter as mentioned in black belt magazine and where it is said that this movie is one of the best action movies ever created,a good title which is sure to please every mortal kombat fan around the world,and which is an excellent sequel to the first mortal kombat movie.WELL DONE GUYS.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: One of the GOOD sequels? I think not
Review: This movie, of course, was one of the movies that failed to live up to it's predacessor. Bad actors, bad FX. This movie just lost it's spunk. God only knows what happened to the Mortal Kombat brand of quality here. It may have had Robin Shou (Liu Kang) and Taliso Soto (Kitana) back, but everyone else was new. Raiden sucked. I swear they hired the Sonya for her cup size. Motaro was animated nicely. Jax was funny and kewl. But this movie spent alot of the FX with lightning strikes. Which looked fake. All I can say is "OH BOY"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but not better than the first one
Review: I must say this was a great movie, but as I said, not as good as the first one, it has great visual effects and a nice sound, it was completly outrageous

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Oh, come on ppl
Review: MKA's pretty good. I mean no sequel is ever better than the first, so remember that when you watch it. MKA picks up where MK finished. You can also get a pretty good laugh out of it. END

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good movie, not as good as first Mortal Kombat
Review: Mortal Kombat Annihilation continued the story following Rayden and his young earth warriors. The story line was good but some of the graphics and special effects were a little weird. I would recommend this movie to the lovers of Mortal Kombat but not to veiwers who want to see a movie. END

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Oh My God
Review: You know, this movie would not be so bad if its characters had a point. Yes, there are a load of characters from the MK3 game, but they don't explain where they come from, their significance in the plot, why the heck they're there! The dialog is as choppy as the plot, and I don't even know where the whole animality thing came from without reference to the games!!! The coolest characters in the movie were Jax, NightWolf, and that's just about it. AND JOHNNY!!! =(

You know how sometimes you could just watch a movie and go "ugh... this is so bad"... this is one of them. I was very disappointed, considering how good the first one was.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Grrls Step Up
Review: Well, since they mucked up the plot from the game in the first MK, I was not surprised that this one, plotwise, is confusing. They tried to stuff 3 & 4 into one movie (the previous one squishes 1 & 2 of the games together).

What's GREAT:

A Sonya that can physically do the part. While Brigette Wilson is hot hot HOT, she was not physically suitable for the physically demanding part of Sonya Blade. I appreciate the heart and toughness she exuded though--and her hard work. But thank the Gods for Sandra Hess. No more "falling down not from being hit but from kicking your opponent" moments. And no more rigged fights (how insulting was that bit?). Sonya Blade got off in this movie and it was convincing (as convincing as these things go anyway). And she actually does Sonya's trademark move!

Kitana: You know, she only gets one really good fight and it's great! (The very last one wasn't so great) Best part--the nod to Bruce Lee and her trademark FAN BLADES!

Mileena: The fight with fan fave Mileena is probably the most brutal HTH I've seen in American films. It was fantastic and she does all of her signature moves (save for the Sai Toss--no chi stuff is in these movies). It's worth renting just for this fight.

The fights are amazing (save for Liu vs Baraka) and the music is great! There are nods to the fans of the arcade series all around.

BAD:

When you've squished the plots of 4 games into two movies, there's bound to be problems. And when the last two chapters have waaaaaaaaay more characters and twists than the first two but the lengths are about the same, well, you get a jarbled mess.

This movie really should have picked one thread to follow and just had a tournament going on in the backdrop. And rather than spending money (and screen time) on the CGI for the Animalities it would have been much better to use that precious time fleshing out some of the 50,000 characters used.

Summary: Not as good as the first one
Review: INTRODUCTION:
In the early-mid nineties, the Mortal Kombat series of video games became one of the most popular and well-loved, as well as one of the most controversial. With all this popularity, it's not surprising that the game makers wanted to make a movie based on their widely-loved (and hated) series. And in 1995, the Mortal Kombat movie arrived in theaters. A sequel arrived in theaters two years later. Read on for my review.

BASIC PLOT:
This movie picks up right where the previous film left off. Shao Kahn has taken steps in creating a plot in which the world will fuse with his own realm, the Outworld. Following the death of Johnny Cage at Kahn's hands, the world's finest warriors must find a way to save the world from certain doom.

FILM OPINIONS:
Overall this was a good film, but the film makers made a critical mistake in the first five minutes of the movie. They killed of Johnny Cage. WHY!? Linden Ashby's acting was, by far, the true attraction of the first film - combining a sense of action with a sense of humor. Killing him off immediately puts this film at a disadvantage. Another problem with the film is the awkward plot. If you didn't see the first movie, and even if you DID see it, you're going to be confused once or twice, maybe more. There are also too many characters introduced in too little time - a problem that a TON of movies suffer from. Still, it's a worthwhile film if you saw the first one.

DVD:
When you find a DVD for this low of a price, it's only natural to assume it doesn't have any extras. If you made that assumption, you are correct. Other than the very basic DVD stuff, you're not going to find any special features.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a good film, and it's worth checking out if you're a fan of the games, and you've seen the first film - just be warned, no "movie to game" film adaptation is perfect, and this one is no exception. Still, it's a good film, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: just as amazing as its predecessor
Review: as powerful, shocking, humerous
action packed as the first one

saw this with my grandpa when it came out
my grandpa didn't like it that much but I did
great movie
scary as heck action
eye popping visuals and visual effects and backgrounds
great story
great beginning
perfect ending
see this movie
it will affect you just as much the first Mortal Kombat movie
whoever put this movie right from the video games is a pure genious and or prodigy
everyone somehow deserves some reward for being in these movies, or being a part of making them somehow.
glad I have this on dvd
a great great movie

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Video Game-turned Movie sequel ever.
Review: There is absolutely nothing good about this movie. Too many characters, many of whom (Rain, Sheeva, Kabal, Stryker, and more) die before doing anything, some before even being seen! Very low quality, obviously fake special effects, and low budget. Example: When Liu Kang knocks Barraka into the fire, if you have good eyes or a freeze-frame DVD, you can see, plain as day, that it's Rain being knocked into the fire. They used the scene where Shao Khan kills Rain again to save money. I can go on, like when Raiden is about to fight the three ninjas, but only fights two, or when they don't even use a stunt-man with the same color hair as Raiden. In short: This movie SUCKS.
