Never -- at least not since the first Mortal Kombat -- has tedium been so loud, so full of backward flips and flying fists to the kissers of centaurs from another realm.

The first sequel to 1995's highly successful Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat Annihilation adds little to the development of the saga except for a truckload of martial arts sequences and a whole mess of bigger and louder special effects.
John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
It wastes no time getting to the punching, kicking, stomping and zapping that passes for a cinematic event.
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News

The video game is much more fun, of course.
Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times
Rotten
Fragmented and monotonous, without a semblance of the gymnastic cleverness that at least made the first Mortal Kombat film into watchable trash, Mortal Kombat Annihilation is as debased as movies come.
