60But the most stimulating, satisfying aspect of this action fantasy is the theme music.
-
50Its dazzling special effects make its combatants flip and fly, spin and soar, all the while punching and kicking each other like jackhammers, only to leave viewers utterly unmoved.
-
30Pic consists largely of choppily edited fight scenes (usually involving somersaults and back flips) combined with various computer graphic effects.
-
25It wastes no time getting to the punching, kicking, stomping and zapping that passes for a cinematic event. [22Nov1997 Pg. 35]
-
20This tedious hodgepodge of martial-arts mayhem, bogus mysticism and computer-generated special effects doesn't even pretend to have a plot.
-
20It would miss the point to complain that the plot is nonsensical drivel peopled by paper-thin characters and a paucity of ideas.
-
16Fragmented and monotonous, without a semblance of the gymnastic cleverness that at least made the first Mortal Kombat film into watchable trash, Mortal Kombat Annihilation is as debased as movies come.
-
12This film has no story, no characters, and no coherence.
-
The sequel is quite serious, charmless and critic-proof (in fact, it wasn't screened for the media), and it may attract the teenagers who have made the game so popular. [24Nov1997 Pg.10]
-
10Here's the lowdown on the latest chapter in Mortal Kombat: deadly dull.
-
0The movie is nothing more than a perpetual chain of elaborately choreographed (by returning star Robin Shou) fight sequences that mix live-action foregrounds with complexly layered digital effects and are linked together by the most flimsy and laughable of plot elements.
-
0It's cynical and it's depressing, and I would lock a child in a room before I'd show him Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
