The first Mortal Kombat movie was a pretty decent movie that was fun to watch had some great fight scenes and did a great job turning a simple tournament fighting game into a movie adaptation for the big screen.
Mortal Kombat Annihlation was released two years after the 1995 original and had a different writer and director also given a low budget and only given a short time to shoot edit and produce the movie what we get is actually an okay movie nothing special unique or award winning but still a fun and action packed movie that has a great soundtrack actual martial arts stunts and fight choreography and a big cast of characters both good guys and bad the actors from the original also return for the sequel although one is killed in the opening scenes so minus one Johnny Cage.
A lot of the complaints about this movie were mainly about how over the top and cheesy the acting and dialogue is in the movie along with some bad costumes and special effects the movie got a bad reaction from audiences and critics and is often quoted as one of the worst video game movies ever made but in all honesty despite it's flaws this is a fun movie to watch and doesn't take itself to seriously you will laugh at how bad some parts are but if you grew up in the 80s and early 90s when Mortal Kombat was just a two dimension fighting game with cool looking characters you appreciate the fun and often over the top aspects of the movie having your favourite characters jumping into fights in bright coloured outfits and tights fighting to the not so bloody end while awesome music plays.
I recommend watching this movie if you enjoy fun action movies that don't take themselves too seriously and are just an hour and half of crazy fights overacting and cheesyness.
