Critics Consensus

A self-aware slugfest that plays directly to those who know the difference between Fatalities and Babalities, Mortal Kombat II may not be a flawless victory but it's likely the most roundly enjoyable entry in the franchise yet.

Audience Says

Karl Urban as Johnny Cage alone is worth the price of admission in this second installment of Mortal Kombat, a gleefully gory victory that delivers faithful lore and bone-crunching fatalities.

Jokester Karl Urban leads a cast of battling gamer brawlers against a plot that doesn’t exist. No matter. All you need to love it is blind devotion

…casual viewers will be grateful that Mortal Kombat films are short, sharp and get to the point quickly…the kind of cinematic staple that fanboy audiences seem to love; silly, violent and rich with pure, uncut cinematic gibberish…

Mortal Kombat II is a course correction for modern films, channeling the elements that make the games entertaining.

It contains the same sort of mindless, violent mayhem as its predecessor. Not an insult.

It was a beautiful movie, ten times better than the first movie, the fights are brutal overall last longer and the story is even more in debt with the characters.

Total fun fest. True to its roots , action & fun movie. Does not take it self seriously & this movie did not try to be anything more than the Moryal Kombat storyline it was meant for.

4k 90s action that packs bloody fight just like the game. A few surprising twists and the comedy was spot-on.
