Mortal Kombat II (3.1/10)

I made it about 25 minutes before giving up and skipping straight to the ending just to see how it wrapped up. I almost never do that, but the acting was simply too weak to keep me invested. The fight scenes were decent enough, but everything surrounding them felt flat. The dialogue and performances made it difficult to take the story seriously, and the film seems clearly aimed at a younger audience. It feels like the kind of action movie parents might be comfortable letting their middle school-aged kids watch, rather than something designed for longtime fans looking for a more engaging experience."Johnny Cage joins other fighters in the ultimate, no-holds-barred battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn, a powerful tyrant who threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders."
