The Outworld villains, refusing to accept the outcome of the tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, try their hand at the direct approach--storming Earth instead, amidst the same synthetic fog, computer morphing, and pounding techno score cues as the first film.

The most stimulating, satisfying aspect of this action fantasy is the theme music.

This tedious hodgepodge of martial-arts mayhem, bogus mysticism and computer-generated special effects doesn't even pretend to have a plot.

It's a toss up which aspect of this drivel is worst.

Leonetti is a great cinematographer, but as director, well...

Pic consists largely of choppily edited fight scenes (usually involving somersaults and back flips) combined with various computer graphic effects.

This is an example of a sequel just as terrible as the first movie: same stuff, different day.

A little more work is required, for instance, on four-arm technology.

Quite serious, charmless and critic-proof.

As far as the plot, the repetitive bombardment of similar scenarios makes the film seem very long and painfully drawn out.

It's just an excuse for a series of tedious, repetitious fight scenes that have been staged with no hint whatsoever of originality.
