this non masterpiece follow in the footstep of several other pathetic attempt at turn a successful videogame franchise into a successful movie franchise . this one pal in comparison to the original mortal kombat ( which be actually pretty good . surprisingly enough ) . it seem a though the filmmaker be too busy add a many special effect shot and character a possible from the videogame and rather than worry about any type of story or character development . the character come off a overly stereotypical and two dimensional . this movie might have be more enjoyable sans dialogue and a at least the action sequence be intense and well choreograph . i really wish that the producer of this stinker would have put a little bit more thought into the actual plot rather than just money into the special effect budget . i guess what i be try to say be that if you like the first movie . then steer clear of this one . i mean . why bother .
