From New Line Cinema comes the latest high-stakes installment in the blockbuster video game franchise in all its brutal glory, Mortal Kombat II. This time, the fan favorite champions--now joined by Johnny Cage himself--are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.

Critics Consensus

A self-aware slugfest that plays directly to those who know the difference between Fatalities and Babalities, Mortal Kombat II may not be a flawless victory but it's likely the most roundly enjoyable entry in the franchise yet.

Audience Says

Karl Urban as Johnny Cage alone is worth the price of admission in this second installment of Mortal Kombat, a gleefully gory victory that delivers faithful lore and bone-crunching fatalities.

If [this] sounds suspiciously like the set-up to Galaxy Quest, that’s because it is -- minus the humour and satisfyingly developed characters.

Ultimately, Mortal Kombat II delivers visceral spectacle but limited dramatic weight, racing toward a finale that feels hollow and dissipates quickly once the noise and carnage fade.

Die-hard gamers and fans of the franchise have a lot to love about Mortal Kombat II. It’s bloodier, more brutal, and features more characters than any of the films before it.

2.5/5

Many characters from the first movie and a few fresh recruits to keep busy, the movie does often feel as if it is keeping too many plates spinning at once. However, in terms of energy levels sustained, a very honourable pass mark has been achieved here.

Mortal Kombat II still succeeds in churning out a movie faithful to the spirit of its source material. It is not a universal cup of tea, but its core target audience might be satisfied before returning to play the game.

CGI was very good. The story and acting was mediocre. Over the top violence throughout. Profanity was extreme and unnecessary.
