My Review

Robin Shou Really Held his own In Mortal Kombat 2, Annihilation

But Unlike the first Mortal Kombat, The movie itself had problems holding it together.  Christopher Lambert, the origional Rayden, also of Highlander and Tarzan, the Legend of Greystroke fame, was more than perfect in the role. He had that dry humor, and peircing look that gave Rayden that....Chemistry. Johnny Cage was also played by a marvolous actor, lyndyn Ashbey. He won the hearts of fans all over the world in his role as the egotistical, yet lovable actor trying to prove his worth as a Martial Artist in real life. Sadly, Christopher Lambert was not cast as Rayden for this movie, although the new Rayden was also played by a talented actor, it didn't have the same effect as Chris. And Johnny Cage, dies sadly within a short time at the beginning of the movie.  Sonya is also played by a new actress, and now Introduced were new Characters, Kitana's Twin sister Mileena, the two Hidden Characters in MK2, and then characters in MK3 the video games, Jade and Smoke....It just lost it's flavor to me. But like I said, Robin Shou fans like me should see it over and over cause Robin was Not only great once again, with even new and more spectacular moves, but he was drop dead Gorgeous!!!! The really bad parts were Rayden, the acting and the use of that video game cry he yells "I got a job" or something. Shau Khan was a tad tweerpy, Mileena kicked the bucket before anything about her was introduced. So on and so forth. But Robin was great. The writers could have done a better job developing characters, it seemed they threw in moves from the video game just to throw them in there. Unlike in the first MK, where it was more subtle, it seemed too obvious in this movie. The special effects were terrible compared to the first film, but because Robin Rocks as usual, and for the most part with the scrip they had to go on, the cast did the best the could...I gave the movie,

My score of a
