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

I like how 5 guys can come up with a story that any 6th grader could have come up with in their head. This sequel was just shallow.

Don't go into it expecting anything other than a reboot that maybe isn't as good as previous entries, and you'll be good.
Overall, I can tell that a lot of effort and love went into and I have to appreciate that. 8/10

This movie is enjoyable though, if you watch it for the fights and fan-service.

"Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" is just terrible. It's like watching a PG-13 version of sesame street, where they all fight with poor effects rather than to talk out. Don't, just don't waste your time on this.

You do realize it's a martial arts movie based on a friggin video game, right? The martial arts scenes (most of the point of the film) were excellent. The choreographer did one of the best jobs I've seen in a m.a.'s movie in a long time. They actually got actors that could fight, instead of "pretty faces" like in the first edition (a movie which I also liked). The new Sonja Blade (Sandra Hess - Beastmaster 3) was much better than the first. To say a movie based on a video game has no "plot"...oy...talk about the wrong line of thinking going in to a movie.… Expand

The plot goes into a bunch of mystical mumbo jumbo. It tries to go granderThe first Mortal Kombat was already a cheesy martial arts movie. This sequel is even cheesier. We get goofier performances, worse dialog, and uglier special effects. The plot goes into a bunch of mystical mumbo jumbo. It tries to go grander in scale than it's predecessor, but it all just leads to poorer writing.

We still get the entertaining fights though. The movie definitely doubles down on the fan service. Just like the first movie it's strength is in watching the game characters fight each other with over-the-top action. These fights are backed up by an awesome soundtrack.

It tries to go bigger than it's predecessor and ends up falling short as a result. It also gets quite a bit cheesier. However when it's focusing on the first movie's strengths (cheesy martial arts action with fan favorite MK characters) it's still pretty entertaining. The expanded roster of characters taken from the games still makes it worth a watch for fans of the series and of the first movie. The lack of R-rated fatalities is still a disappointing non-inclusion, but no more so than it was in the first. Overall the movie just isn't as good this time around.… Expand

Anderson and no returning cast (just Robin Shou), I watched Annihilation and I think it's one of the worst video game movies or sequels I've ever saw. New Line just subsequently alienated the sequel into a circus filled with bad acting, a terrible script, and a useful excuse of putting my favorite characters from Mortal Kombat II (Kitana and Mileena) into nothing but prostitutes. Don't buy it, matter of fact, don't rent it on Blu-Ray. I should really stick to the original Kombat and maybe soon Warner Bros. could find a way to reboot the Mortal Kombat franchise and turn it into an R-rated format because the game series is rated M for Mature, so why not bring on the fatalities.… Expand

They replaced many actors immediately (or the others left in terror;-). Raiden is the most apparent example. Its like you replaced Dirk Nowitzki with Bernie Sanders without any remarks (Visually not Basketball related. I must admit that this idea would be interesting in real life). Then there is the story and acting. While the former movie got the right balance of seriousness and taking itself not too serious, this movie fails. There are a lot of scenes / stuff that should be engaging. But it is pointless, an under-performance or unintentionally hilarious. I don't blame the actors. Even the best actors /actress cant get much out of an awful script or a bad role. What troubles me the most are the sparks of good ideas in this movie. With adaptations and improvements you could make a better or even good movie out of the setting and some ideas. Then there are the fights. While I admit that the final confrontation is engaging the total performance is disappointing. It is sadly not even “So bad that it is good”. That would at least improve the rating. Overall I would not rewatch and forget that this movie exist. The best I got out of it was the idea to let Dirk Nowitzki play Basketball against Bernie Sanders (and his team?). This has more potential than this movie;-).… Expand

Kitana: Mother, you are alive!

Sindel: Too bad you will be dead!

If the dialogue isn't ad enough, this film completely killed the lore and intrigue of the first film. Within the first five minutes they just go ahead and kill one of the beloved main characters of the first film. I think I could choreograph better action and the special effects are the worst that have ever existed. There is literally a scene where both the protagonist and the antagonist turn into claymation dragons that fight each other. Robot Chicken has higher quality stop motion animation than this movie. All the actors from the beginning were strapped to wires, as everyone is just unrealistic flying and punching through the air in a way that would only make Joel Schumacher proud. Ten minutes in and you want the film to end. I'm surprised I sat through the whole thing. I can honestly say this is the worst video game to film adaptation. Uwe Boll needs to step up his game if he wants to claim the title.… Expand
