After the disaster that was the 2021 Mortal Kombat, I was hoping the sequel could finally redeem the franchise… and while it’s definitely an improvement, it still doesn’t quite land.

The action is bigger, louder, bloodier, and packed with fan service, but there’s still very little emotional weight or real stakes to make the fights truly hit.

Karl Urban steps in as fan-favourite Johnny Cage, bringing plenty of charisma and star power, even if the fight scenes don’t fully showcase the physicality the role needs. Meanwhile, Josh Lawson absolutely steals the movie again as Kano, delivering the funniest lines with his sarcastic, foul-mouthed energy. His chemistry with Urban is easily one of the film’s highlights.

The fatalities are brutal, the powers are over-the-top, and longtime fans of the games will probably have a blast spotting all the references. Mortal Kombat II fully embraces the chaos and ridiculousness of the franchise — for better and worse.

Hardcore fans will likely enjoy seeing these characters brought to life, but everyone else may walk away feeling a little underwhelmed.

Mortal Kombat II is in NZ cinemas now.
