Mortal Kombat - Annihilation

Pros: good premise
Cons: bad writing and scripting, bad set design, terrible special effects, weak character acting

At the end of the first Mortal Kombat film, they left it quite wide open for a sequel to be made. I guess the idea, was that there were enough new characters that they could foster a second film, and if the first one was a success it could quickly ...

Pros: Music, Sets, there are some lovely ladies on show
Cons: If I didn't mention it above, it's a con

The impact of Mortal Kombat Annihilation upon the life, death and subsequent rebirth of the MK franches shouldn't be underestimated, with the film coming in-between games, and having a colossally negative impact on people's views of not ...

Pros: None
Cons: Everything

Bad movies based on video games are known to deliver more than just a huge disappointment. Their failure can be damaging to an actor's career not to mention putting a huge dent on the reputation of the video game in question. A successful VG based movie...

Pros: .
Cons: .

I was one of those people you hear about that actually managed to enjoy the first Mortal Kombat movie, but this sequel is an absolute mess. Boring, dumber than a blonde waitress in a hair salon, (No offense to blondes, waitresses or hair salon ...

Pros: Pretty faithful to source material, good music
Cons: Very poor execution, very poor fights, even worst special effects

After the events of the previous Mortal Kombat tournament, Liu Kang(Robin Shou) and his friends barely get the chance to enjoy their victory over Shang Tsung(Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa). The Emperor of ...

Pros: Ummm, well, special effects.  Maybe.
Cons: Everything else.  Everything.

MORTAL KOMBAT 2, also known as MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION, was the 1997 film sequal to the 1995 hit, MORTAL KOMBAT.  It is proof of the adage that sequels are seldom as good as the original.The original, in this case the 1995 movie, was ...

Pros: Fans MIGHT enjoy it, no garentees...Sonya's rack (LOL, really though).
Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE

I absolutely hated this movie. To start, the plot line was horrible. Seriously...Liu won a tournament, so Earth is saved for 10 years, but Kahn "breaks the rules" and tries to destroy Earth anyway. Can you say lame? The Plot is by far the stupidest, ...

Pros: Great fight scenes and music.
Cons: It doesn't follow the game storylines, and the graphics have room for alot of improvement.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation won't be the movie for you if your picky. If you deal with some bad line deliveries and less-than-perfect graphics, pushing it aside for a good storyline, then it might be the movie for you. After defeating Shang Tsung in ...

Pros:

Liu Kang, Princess Kitana, Noob Saibot

Cons:

Having so many characters jumbles everything up and makes the movie confusing, Raiden being replaced

The second movie in the Mortal Kombat series wasn't all terrible, but boy did it suck in comparison to the first one.The plot this time is that after Liu Kang, Princess Kitana, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage defeated Shang Tsung to win the ...

Pros: Let me rack my brains for an hour or two...
Cons: The entire movie is a con

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN NOVEMBER, 1997

What do you say about a movie that can't even spell "combat" right? When you think about the fact that Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is a sequel to a movie based on a video game, you realize there's...

Pros: None
Cons: Boring, Boring, Boring

The first Mortal Kombat was a huge rarity. A good movie based on a video game. Mortal Kombat - Annihilation however is not.

To get right to the point, it sucks. In the first one the fight scenes were good and well staged. In this movie...

Pros: None
Cons: 3rd rate acting, 2nd rate FX

The only thing that's annihilated in this film is our intelligence. This is, without a doubt, one of the worst films I've seen. Granted, I wasn't really expecting much, but I thought it might a least be good for a couple laughs and some decent fight...

Pros: Suprised to see the characters.
Cons: The plot was dull...some characters looked weak.

I dont have the movie writing review expierence, so dont get mad at me.

Alright, this movie came out like around 1996, I think, or 1997, sometime around there. This one picks right up after the first one ends, when in the first one the emperor...

Pros: The setting was pretty good,cyrex and jax fight,was pretty cool
Cons: Awful costumes,fight sceans felt short.The whole plot was messed up.Johnny Cage died much too early.

This movie was total crap,and should be annihilated.This movie was very bad at the box office because it was crap.The costumes for the characters were stupid,and sheeva looked awful(she looked very weak,and was very badly made),the creators of the movie...

Pros: Good fighting, awesome soundtrack
Cons: pretty bad acting, switched actors for characters, too many characters.

The first mortal kombat film is probably the greatest game to movie translation out. The only one that really comes close was Tomb Raider. When the second one came around, you left the theatre with a feeling. You wanted to watch something else to get...

Pros: Great fight scenes, excellent to watch and make fun, cool soundtrack.
Cons: Horrible acting, lame plot.

I saw this one in the theater... yes, the theater, with a couple of good friends. It was so bad it was funny! There was another fun group sitting in the sparsely populated theater making fun of it too, and we had a really good time. I'm glad I went....

Pros: The first minute.
Cons: The rest.

If you've lived here on earth for the past 8 or 9 years you know that Mortal Kombat was one of the most popular games around. The game was stylish and violent as hell! Kids loved it! You got to beat the sh*t out of yer opponent and then choose how you...

Pros: The movie ended, can be used on child to discipline them
Cons: I don't have enough time to write about all of them

I have seen some really bad movies in my lifetime.....bad movies makes me think of The Santa Clause, 3 Ninjas, and usually anything John Travolta puts out....but Mortal Kombat Annihilation might win the shitty movie championship belt. I'm a huge fan of...

Pros: Pumpin' Soundtrack.
Cons: Everything else.

Ok, the first Movie was no Citizen Cane, but it was very watchable and a the least, entertaining. The plot was feasible, and the characters were pretty cool, especially if you're a fan of the popular arcade games.
So, after watching Mortal Kombat's...

Pros: Revenge possibilities
Cons: Absolute Garbage

The first Mortal Kombat movie was cool, but much like the game series itself this film has fallen into the pit of absolute drudgery, this movie is an insult to film goers it should be burned the ashes should be buried and ten tons of concrete and a large...

Pros: Lots of action
Cons: Not for everyone.

I finally watched Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. I liked it as much as the first Mortal Kombat. I'm also writing this review with the help of my 9 year old. This is his FAVORITE movie.

About the movie: The High Gods opened the port hole,...

Pros: Some OK fights
Cons: Rubbish plots, terrible acting.

This movie is the living definition a cash in movie sequel. This film makes the fatal mistake of trying to stick closely to the computer game. There are far too many characters (eg. a purple ninja called Rain who gets killed really quickly, why was he...

Pros: gives you time to think about why your are watching this
Cons: dont get me strated

Once along in a while , there comes a video game that changes the genre and get extremely popular with the public, such a series is mortal kombat , when this franchise catches fire , people try to make money and fast before it becomes unpopular, thats...

Pros: A nice special effect here and there and 1 good costume.
Cons: Bad story, Bad fight scenes, 98min long, horrible generic techno music. killed johnny cage!!!

Having watch the first mortal kombat and love it everything from raidens dark humor to kano red eye that movie was pretty good by any standards.

Mortal Kombat Annihilation seems to have set the standard very low and they demolish what good story was there by adding about 7 new characters all at the start. Along with the laugh-able costumes, it would have been better if they used the ones from the first movie.

Then theres the action just by the numbers with a few nice moves maybe. They tried to use alot of video game moves with the actual sounds bit which actual worked somewhat but there is much of that.

The story good for about 1 minute then noise dives into bordium and predict-ability.
The special effects are throwback from the early 80's just mostly horrible, there are some nice traila or trace lines on the characters when they do special moves. Scorpions little hand creature is replaced by some chainlike garbage.

Overall this movie is just awful with not enough good points to keep it from sinking down to the bottom of the horrible hollywood cashin drivin sequel.
