i really like the first movie . i think it be an entertaining film with a decent cast and sharp action scene and special effect and and the movie pay respectful attention to it source material . mk annihilation be anything but a good film . it come off like a bad power ranger episode and with most of the original actor go and goofy camera angle and zoom shot and no story and pathetic special effect . animality . please . i have see well stuff out of old gamera movie . this movie introduce almost every character from mortal kombat trilogy only to kill them off five second after their debut . what the point of that other than to say that this character be in the movie . all it accomplish be bogging down what little plot there be . the story itself ( base off mk3 and mk4 ) and be shaky and the techno music be nowhere near as good a the first film and and the whole movie seem uneven and a waste of film . it lack the feel of a movie and and earn the second 1997 award of a film that i almost walk out of in the first fifteen minute . i have talk to more than a fair share of people who have say this movie be wonderful . of course and all of these people be die hard mk fan who feel that anything with the famous dragon logo can do no wrong . want a mortal kombat movie to watch . watch the first film . at least that one be a fun movie to sit through and enjoy . too bad mk representa do not live up to the first one . the line pretty cool and huh . that my animality make me absolutely groan in agony that i actually spent money to see this . avoid this movie .
