Mortal Kombat Annihilation (2) Raiden vs Reptiles Reaction

Reaction to Lord Raiden Vs Reptiles, Hilariously bad fight
Sequels are a tricky beast to tame. Oftentimes, they fall victim to the crushing weight of expectations, leaving audiences disappointed and filmmakers scratching their heads. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is a prime example of a sequel gone awry. Released in 1997, just two years after the surprisingly enjoyable original Mortal Kombat film, this sequel attempted to capitalize on the success of its predecessor. However, instead of building upon the foundation laid by the first film, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation crumbles under the weight of its own hubris.
Let's talk about the plot, or lack thereof, in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. The film picks up right where the first one left off, with our heroes Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage facing off against the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung. However, when the sinister Outworld emperor Shao Kahn invades Earthrealm, chaos ensues. The story quickly spirals into a nonsensical mess of subplots, inconsistent character motivations, and baffling decisions that leave viewers scratching their heads.
One of the biggest sins of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is its complete disregard for the source material. Fans of the iconic video game franchise will be left fuming as beloved characters are butchered beyond recognition. From the laughable portrayal of the shape-shifting reptilian ninja Reptile to the cringe-inducing dialogue spouted by the thunder god Raiden, this film takes everything that made the Mortal Kombat games great and throws it out the window.
