Reviews for Mortal Kombat - Annihilation
Top CriticThe most stimulating, satisfying aspect of this action fantasy is the theme music.
09/09/09
This tedious hodgepodge of martial-arts mayhem, bogus mysticism and computer-generated special effects doesn't even pretend to have a plot.
09/09/09
It's a toss up which aspect of this drivel is worst.
02/27/09
A cheesy, abysmal sequel to an entertaining adaptation...

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

Top CriticA guilty pleasure more entertaining than the original
03/14/03
This is an example of a sequel just as terrible as the first movie: same stuff, different day.
02/08/03
A little more work is required, for instance, on four-arm technology.
02/01/02
Quite serious, charmless and critic-proof.

Top CriticPlot, character, motivation, you ask? C'mon!
01/01/00
As far as the plot, the repetitive bombardment of similar scenarios makes the film seem very long and painfully drawn out.
01/01/00
Witless, charmless and clueless.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's just an excuse for a series of tedious, repetitious fight scenes that have been staged with no hint whatsoever of originality.
