Critic Reviews

Lisa Alspector

But the most stimulating, satisfying aspect of this action fantasy is the theme music. Read full review

Peter Stack

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. Read full review

Daniel M. Kimmel

Pic consists largely of choppily edited fight scenes (usually involving somersaults and back flips) combined with various computer graphic effects. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

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. Read full review

James Berardinelli

This film has no story, no characters, and no coherence. Read full review

Lawrence Van Gelder

Here's the lowdown on the latest chapter in Mortal Kombat: deadly dull. Read full review

Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

I fully enjoyed the first mortal kombat. However I prefer this one to the first. MK2 gets rights into the action,
there are more characters and the action scenes are expertly directed. The music is also as excellent in this sequel as it was in the original. This is one of the best martialI fully enjoyed the first mortal kombat. However I prefer this one to the first. MK2 gets rights into the action,

This is one of the best martial arts movies I've seen and it is 100% faithful to the video game. This sequel has more intensity than the first and that is what makes it so enjoyable.… Expand

Why all the bad reviews? I found this movie entertaining, even though it isn't as good as the first.

La película cuenta con una historia aceptable, pero cuenta con unos efectos especiales horrorosos y casi se siente como una película casera
