Chicago Reader
But the most stimulating, satisfying aspect of this action fantasy is the theme music.

San Francisco Chronicle
Its 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.

Daniel M. Kimmel
Pic consists largely of choppily edited fight scenes (usually involving somersaults and back flips) combined with various computer graphic effects.

It wastes no time getting to the punching, kicking, stomping and zapping that passes for a cinematic event. [22Nov1997 Pg. 35]

TV Guide
This tedious hodgepodge of martial-arts mayhem, bogus mysticism and computer-generated special effects doesn't even pretend to have a plot.

Ian Freer
It would miss the point to complain that the plot is nonsensical drivel peopled by paper-thin characters and a paucity of ideas.

Entertainment Weekly
Fragmented 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.

ReelViews
This film has no story, no characters, and no coherence.

Bob Heisler
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]

Austin Chronicle
The 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.

LA Weekly
It's cynical and it's depressing, and I would lock a child in a room before I'd show him Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
