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.

The film, despite its end-of-the-world stakes, lacks urgency. I found it to be a waste of time.

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.

Mortal Kombat II sets out to be an entertaining, silly action flick. And it succeeded where it mattered most.

This sequel does deliver more pleasure than guilt, compared to the previous entry, but the saga remains far from flawless. [Review in Spanish]

More enjoyable than its predecessor, it is still not strong enough to dislodge my absolute adoration for "Mortal Kombat" (1995). Instead of taking an ensemble approach, it would have improved if it had focused predominantly on the Chosen One

Fantastic fight scenes and character development. Karl Urban as Johnny Cage was hilarious. His encounter with Baraka was one of the best parts of the movie. Kano was also incredibly funny. The humor intertwined with the serious nature of life and death fights makes a great duality.
