a complete mess,with no point., Nov. 1 2007
(this review is my own personal opinion)wow.what a piece of
garbage.this movie was not good,at all.i didn't think the first the
first Mortal Kombat was a classic,but i guess it depends on what you're
comparing it too.if you compare it against this sequel,then yeah,it
might be a classic.i didn't see any merit to this movie.there is so
much wrong with it,it is hard to know where to begin.and i wouldn't
have enough time or space.but basically anything that can be wrong with
a movie-is wrong here.i didn't buy the fight scenes.i felt they were
way too over the top and way too long.i also didn't find the acting
convincing,and very few of the actors from the first Mortal Combat
returned.i think that was a mistake.the filmmakers are asking the
viewer to accept someone completely new in a role that was defined by
someone else.i don't think that's fair to the viewer or to the new
actors. as a result,i felt no sense of jeopardy or urgency to the
film.the whole movie plays more like a comedy than a serious movie.the
good guys have no depth,so you really don't care what happens to them.I
also have to mention the stilted dialogue and the wooden delivery of
almost every line.the music was also distracting and grating,especially
during the fight scenes.i could not watch this movie all the way
through,because it is so awful.this is a completely incoherent mess.a
definitely inferior remake,which in my opinion,should never have been
made.at least the original has some heart to it.this sequel has some OK
special effects,but not enough to recommend it.1*/5 which is being
liberal.

The Grrls Step Up, Juil 14 2004
Well, since they mucked up the plot from the game in the first MK, I was not surprised that this one, plotwise, is confusing. They tried to stuff 3 & 4 into one movie (the previous one squishes 1 & 2 of the games together). What's GREAT: A Sonya that can physically do the part. While Brigette Wilson is hot hot HOT, she was not physically suitable for the physically demanding part of Sonya Blade. I appreciate the heart and toughness she exuded though--and her hard work. But thank the Gods for Sandra Hess. No more "falling down not from being hit but from kicking your opponent" moments. And no more rigged fights (how insulting was that bit?). Sonya Blade got off in this movie and it was convincing (as convincing as these things go anyway). And she actually does Sonya's trademark move! Kitana: You know, she only gets one really good fight and it's great! (The very last one wasn't so great) Best part--the nod to Bruce Lee and her trademark FAN BLADES! Mileena: The fight with fan fave Mileena is probably the most brutal HTH I've seen in American films. It was fantastic and she does all of her signature moves (save for the Sai Toss--no chi stuff is in these movies). It's worth renting just for this fight. The fights are amazing (save for Liu vs Baraka) and the music is great! There are nods to the fans of the arcade series all around. BAD: When you've squished the plots of 4 games into two movies, there's bound to be problems. And when the last two chapters have waaaaaaaaay more characters and twists than the first two but the lengths are about the same, well, you get a jarbled mess. This movie really should have picked one thread to follow and just had a tournament going on in the backdrop. And rather than spending money (and screen time) on the CGI for the Animalities it would have been much better to use that precious time fleshing out some of the 50,000 characters used.

Not as good as the first one, Jui 27 2004
INTRODUCTION:
In the early-mid nineties, the Mortal Kombat series of video games became one of the most popular and well-loved, as well as one of the most controversial. With all this popularity, it's not surprising that the game makers wanted to make a movie based on their widely-loved (and hated) series. And in 1995, the Mortal Kombat movie arrived in theaters. A sequel arrived in theaters two years later. Read on for my review.BASIC PLOT:
This movie picks up right where the previous film left off. Shao Kahn has taken steps in creating a plot in which the world will fuse with his own realm, the Outworld. Following the death of Johnny Cage at Kahn's hands, the world's finest warriors must find a way to save the world from certain doom. FILM OPINIONS:
Overall this was a good film, but the film makers made a critical mistake in the first five minutes of the movie. They killed of Johnny Cage. WHY!? Linden Ashby's acting was, by far, the true attraction of the first film - combining a sense of action with a sense of humor. Killing him off immediately puts this film at a disadvantage. Another problem with the film is the awkward plot. If you didn't see the first movie, and even if you DID see it, you're going to be confused once or twice, maybe more. There are also too many characters introduced in too little time - a problem that a TON of movies suffer from. Still, it's a worthwhile film if you saw the first one. DVD:
When you find a DVD for this low of a price, it's only natural to assume it doesn't have any extras. If you made that assumption, you are correct. Other than the very basic DVD stuff, you're not going to find any special features. OVERALL:
Overall this is a good film, and it's worth checking out if you're a fan of the games, and you've seen the first film - just be warned, no "movie to game" film adaptation is perfect, and this one is no exception. Still, it's a good film, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
