A band of fearless fighters have defeated the evil warlords from Outworld in the life-or-death tournament called Mortal Kombat, saving Earth from destruction for another generation. But just as they rejoice in their victory, the passage to Outworld is ripped open by the Emperor called Shao-Kahn who declares that he is coming in person with his extermination squads to conquer and eliminate anything that stands in his way. The warriors have to depend on their own courage and initiative to stop the destructive onslaught. (official distributor synopsis)

No, I can't do it and I won't yell "boo" at it. Mortal Kombat 2: Annihilation is a horrible movie and I never want to see it again, but I remember how I once found it in a video rental store and I was happy that there was a sequel to my then-favorite movie. At home, I found out with disappointment that it's not the same anymore, but as long as Liu Kang is kicking opponents onscreen, it's not the complete end. And then I was about fifteen and I had to admit definitively that the sequel should never have been made because it couldn't be worse. The supporting characters, so perfectly portrayed in the game like Barakka, Jaxx, and Mileena, are here just so the player can hardly notice their favorite. It's a shame that even the main characters aren't much better off and someone like Kitana is simply laughable. One star out of sadness over a wasted opportunity and run away fast or I won't even give it that.

I’ve wasted 91 minutes of my valuable life on this crap. Anderson knew exactly why he didn't go for it, not to mention Lambert (why Rayden looked like a tired stockbroker here is a mystery to me to this day). The first one is nice popcorn fun, this is a cinematic enema. Hands Off!!

This is really bad. From the beginning, you know it's a downhill slide compared to the first installment, which I don't even consider particularly brilliant. It's very cheap, yet the film still tries to look expensive, but it fails miserably at that. Terrible effects, which are really detrimental here, bad characters played by different actors than in the first film — why, I wonder? — and a stupid story that you'll have to endure.
