I saw Mortal Kombat II. it isn’t going to win any Oscars but it’s a fun time if you like Mortal Kombat. Compared to the previous film (which I thought was good but not great) this one learns some lessons and features lots of great fights, plenty of fun personalities, less extraneous storytelling detail and a simpler, more fun plot that is just an excuse for lots of fighting. There’s lots of reverence for the original games but without constantly hitting you over the head with every single wink or reference. A proper 90s martial arts Friday night movie, and second only to the original 90s MK film in terms of how fun it is.
