Mortal Kombat: Annihilation: Difference between revisions

 

This film is near-universally despised. Aside from Liu Kang and Kitana, every other character from the prior film was [[The Other Darrin|played by a new actor]], and {{spoiler|Johnny Cage}} was killed in the [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|first few minutes]] [[The Worf Effect|as a display of Shao Kahn's strength]]. ''Annihilation'' tries to toss in [[Loads and Loads of Characters|as many characters from the first three games as possible]], and although there's decent costuming and creature design, few of these characters are named during the film -- and even fewer have a decent moment or fight scene to indicate a personality (or a reason why they're important). The plot doesn't feature an official Mortal Kombat tournament to justify the frequent action scenes, which makes for a disjointed storyline. Like the previous film, ''Annihilation'' is rated "PG-13", but its violence is more toned-down than the first film's. Subpar visual effects round out the list of reasons this film is responsible for killing off the ''Mortal Kombat'' film franchise.
