Summary: I still like it
Review: Even though we miss the brilliance of Bridgette Wilson and Christopher Lambert, this movie is not as bad as everyone says. I loved it, even though the new Sonya Blade is an annoyance, it's still great. The warriors have more challanges in front of them and Jax is back, my favourite character this time around. If Rayden and Sonya were the originals, this movie would blow out the first one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is this THE worst movie of all time?????
Review: Mortal Kombat wasnt all that great of a movie. but it was still better then this god awfull seaqull. It dosent matter how many times anyone says it to them, these filmmakers dont realise seaqulls dont work without the original cast..Chrisopher Lambert was missed in this badly made seaqull! Least he would have added somthing to it for a bit of improvement!

I dont care if this film was the first to have a completly CGI charactor. The acting is terrible, the effects are bad, the plot sucks , and i wish i had remembered that before i bought it on DVD because it had been a while since id seen it! and even tho it was a cheapie, it was still the worst mistake i had made with a DVD!

If theres a top 10 worst movies of all time list, i'll put money on this movie making the top 5!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An ok sequel
Review: I had first seen this movie when it was in theaters in 1997. I was 9 years old I thought this was the best movie ever. I even thought it was so much better then the first Mortal Kombat, which is a really awesome movie and one of the greatest video game adaptions ever made. But now I have a better understanding of movies and realize this movie isn't that great, but it isn't crap, it's just plain ok. But if I had directed this movie, I could tink of so many other ways to make this a great movie, it probobly wouldn't be as good as the first, bit t wuld still be good. Enough about that, here is the lot.
We pick up right where the first one left off. Liu had defeated Shang Tsung, and had won the the tournament. The rules were that the portals from Outworld were to close for atleat until another generation, leaving a brief period of peace on Earth. But someone from outworld has a different point of view. That person is Shao Khan, the emperor of outworld, along w/ some of his generals such as Motaro, Shiva, Sindel, Ermac, and Rain. The tournament is over, now a war has begun. He has broken the sacred rules and plans to have outworld and the earth merge into one realm. This will kill all mankind and this also affects Rayden because in outworld he has no powers, so as the realms merge, he slowly loses his powers. Rayden and others; Lui Kang, Sonya, and Kitana must stop this before the two realms have merged into on. In order to do so, they must enlist help of other warriors from earth. Such as Jax and Nitecrawler. And along their journey, they will be hunted by Shoa Khan's extermination squads such as Smoke (I thought he was a good guy), Scorpion, Cyrax, Mileena, and scorpion. And along the way, they are met by Sub-Zero (not the same one from the first movie) and are joined by Jade (who is much hotter then I thought she was), but what they don't know is that jade is will later turn against them. While the humans go on their journey, Rayden goes on a quest to ask the elder gods why they allowed this to happen. They have six days till the realms are fully merged, if they haven't stopped Shao Khan by the 6th day, then all hope is lost.
That is basically the plot of the movie, now its time to state why this movie isn't that great. The fight scenes are, although lots of them are too short, but they're still fun to watch. One big reason is the fact that alot of characters are barely on the screen. Sub zero, smoke, cyrax, and Scorpion were only in the movie for like 2 minutes, 3 minutes at most. And not only that, they have very stupid dialogues. Plus I didn't like the fact they killed Johhny Cage in the beggining. One very big reason are the extremely cheezy special effects. There are so many computer generated images in the movie. You cn clearly tell so much of it is fake. Its so cheezy, its practically made for little kids. Anyway, that is basically it. If you do see this movie, then I suggest you rent it first. It's not that bad, but its not worth owning.

Summary: Not bad.....but not exactly great
Review: "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" picks up minutes after the original. From the opening scene, there is fighting, which is not a great way to start a movie. All of the actors and actresses changed except for Liu Kang and Kitana, and even more characters were added. Not nearly as good as the original, but still fun at times.

MKA is about the 5 heroes of the first MK tournament, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Kitana, and Raiden. They won the tournament, but now the emperor, Shao Kahn, has opened a portal to earth and is planning to annihilate everything and take over.

Here is the opening 10 minutes: Ninjas falling from the sky and surrounding everyone, Raiden gets into a fight with Shao Kahn, they stop for a moment, fight again, Kahn kills Johnny Cage, and the first scene is over with. All of this happened within 10 minutes. Not a good start--way to fast.

But the movie does maintain a somewhat fun story. The movie has many more characters like Shao Kahn, Sindel, Sheeva, Motoro, Rain, Ermac, Smoke, Cyrax, Baraka, Mileena, Jax, Jade, Nightwolf, and some others. All-in-all this was a fair movie. Not for hardcore movie fans at all.

"Mortal Kombat: Anniilation" runs for about 90 minutes. It is rated PG-13 for non-stop martial-arts violence from begining to end.

RAIN (he finally showed up!)

Shao Kahn
Sindel
Motaro
Scorpion (back from the dead)
Sub-Zero's younger brother (also named Sub-Zero)

Kabal and Stryker are mentioned in the movie. Scorpion and Sub-Zero finally battled...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WORST MOVIE EVER!
Review: Saw this uncut on the tube and laughed so hard at the special effects, dialogue, and of course acting than any film in my life. Takes itself way to serious. Good for a gag gift or just to make fun of. HORRIBLE..In the top 5 of the worst films I've ever seen.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THIS WAS JUST TOO MUCH
Review: THIS SEQUEL WAS DEFINTELY UNCALLED FOR. THIS TIME, LIU KANG, RAIDEN, JOHNNY CAGE, AND KITANA MUST NOW FACE SHAO KAHN. ALMOST NONE OF THE CAST FROM THE ORIGINAL MK MOVIE SHOWED UP HERE. ROBIN SHOU AND TALISA SOTO ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAME BACK FOR THIS. ANYWAY, THE FIGHTS SUCK, THE PLOT SUCKS, AND THE CHARACTERS HAVE SERIOUSLY GOTTEN CORNY. JAMES REMAR JUST SHOULDN'T PLAY RAIDEN. THEY SHOULD'VE LET CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT PLAY RAIDEN AGAIN. THE ONLY GOOD FIGHT IN THIS ENTIRE MOVIE IS THE FIGHT BETWEEN SUB ZERO AND SCORPION. THE FILM DOES HAVE SOME OK SPECIAL EFFECTS. BUT STILL, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS BS. TRUST ME, THERE ARE MUCH MUCH BETTER THINGS YOU COULD DO WITH YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: original is far better then this crapheap
Review: what the hell is up with this one. this one has James Remar as Raiden...Christopher Lambert was better then him and Remar getting a buzzcut wasnt special. though the part where Sonya Blade gets all down in the mud is hot. Brian Thompson sucks. Robin Shou is wasted and killing Johnny Cage at the beginning sucked. a crappy sequel to a good movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No.
Review: The fight scenes are like extended games of Patty-Cake.

The special effects are worse than the first one's for some reason.

John Candy would've made a better Jax, at least he could act.

Sonya is an 80's jazzercise instructor, WITH AN ATTITUDE.

There is no "TOASTY!" at all.

You're better off watching a special on ox migration than this. At least you won't feel stupider afterward.
