Review of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) by Dannychryst — 22 Jun 2023
One of the worst sequels to ever be greenlit. This movie is a painful reminder of how NOT to adapt a video game franchise. I was only 13 when I first saw this and I hated it back then too. Annihilation was so awful that even Christopher Lambert had to turn down the role of Raiden.
It's not like the first Mortal Kombat was a truly good film, but they still understood what a Mortal Kombat movie should deliver, techno music and cool fight scenes. Annihilation felt like a complete parody of the first film, with bad acting, bad dialogue, bad writing, bad visual effects, bad green screens and stock footage, bad fight choreography, bad costumes, etc.
It was just bad from start to finish, in a way that truly makes it so bad that it's good because of the amount of unintentional comedy gold.
