i make the mistake of go to see this movie and first show and first day and in the theater and in 1997 when it be release . the first movie wasn not bad . it wasn not great and but it be fun . i expect more with the 2nd . the only thing i know about it go in be that james remar be replace christopher lambert a rayden and which i be upset about and but i think remar would do a good job . boy and be i wrong . the whole cast and even robin shou and who be decent in the 1st and and great in beverly hill ninja and can not seem to act his way out of a paper bag in this one . mega spoiler and cause you shouldn not see this movie anyway the big mistake the writer make with this movie and be try to incorporate all of the character and even the hidden one and from not just mortal kombat 2 and but mortal kombat 3 as well . ( the plot be take from the mk3 video game ) . mk1 survive multiple hero because there be only 3 and a trio and a team and and their teacher raiden . and only 2 bad guy ( goro and shang tsung ) . in mk2 and we have a virtual plethora of hero and baddie . hero ( 8 ) represent liu kang or rayden or kitana or sonya or jax or johnny cage or nightwolf or sub zerobaddies ( 14 ) represent shao kahn and shinnok and sindel and motaro and jade and sheeva and cyrax and scorpion and noob saibot and ermac and rain and baraka and smoke and and mileena . yeah and i think that be a lot too . all of these character have line and or or fight scene too . this doesn not even include the character from the game that be mention and but not show . a bunch of these baddie ( and even some hero ) die or just leave and never to return and in about a minute after they appear . for instance and here the plot of some of the sub character representrain represent say hi and get throw into a fiery pit . sub zero represent show up and say hi and fight and kill botty smoke and tell liu kang you be not ready and then disappears and never to be hear from again . smoke represent kill within a 2 minute by aforementioned sub zero . baraka represent er . i think you see him . once . mileena represent show up and attack sonya and somehow dy from a bonk on the head . scorpion represent show up and fight sub zero and kidnap kitana and disappears . johnny cage represent show up and say hi and shao kahn break his neck a good minute into the movie . sheeva represent have a few line early and liu kang kill her in under 10 second in her first fight . those be just some example . on top of these character issue and the entire movie seem to have be film on the first take . there be literally ton of continuity and placement error . a few quick example and all from the same 10 minute stretch representrayden leave sonya and and tell her to find her buddy jaz and then to head to the temple of the elder god . of course and after she find jax and she immediately know where it be . when we first meet his jaxness himself and he punch into a wall try to kill cyrax . we pan away with his fist somehow stick in a wall with a good inch of space around it . we pan back a few second later and and his entire arm be stick in the wall . sonya get into a muddy fan service fight with mileena . after a muddy battle and and a split scene later and all her clothes have somehow be drycleaned . during aforementioned muddy fan service fight and sonya get throw into a rock . this big rock and about 10 time the size of her and waggle and move a bit with her weight fall on it . again and those be just some example and but theyre rampant in the movie . a for the plot and well and the idea and premise be interesting and but they delve way too deep into it . it would have be good if they keep it superficial and the way they do in the first movie . but and no and they have to try to explain everything represent life and existence and the tournament and and why the toast always land butter side down . the result of all this atrocity be a corny and poorly direct and aterribly write and underbudgeted ( look like most of the stuff i could have pull off with my home computer ) nightmare that worth buying solely to laugh at . negative .
