Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

Title: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
Rating: Three Spotlights

Movie Wrapped Up:
Sort of taking off from where the first Mortal Kombat left off, the evil Shao Kahn lead an invasion of Earth, breaking the rules. The Merger of Realms is going on, and the Earth and humanity will be destroyed if this happens.
The fate of the Realm is in Liu Kang and his friends' hands...

Mad Take:
This movie was a sorry sequel. The story had some serious problems. I was continually confused about certain things. A movie you couldn't really keep up with is not a good one (and I was not delighted with the undead... or sort-of undead, they didn't explain good enough... mom was not a good memo for me. At least she didn't look like a zombie!). And the beginning was confusing, even for someone who saw the first movie! And, to top this off, you pretty much had to see the first movie to even semi-enjoy it
The special effects were good, but there were times when it wasn't good enough or too good. And the sounds on the DVD... not helpful! You were playing with the volume continually so you could hear or your ears didn't get hurt.
The only really good thing about the movie was once again the action scenes and music. It was game music, some I recognized from the first movie. Except for a few songs, that was the best part of the movie. The martial arts scenes were awesome too, but even they could have been done better in certain scenes. I was sometimes confused, like I wondered, "What just happened? How did he/she do that?" Now, this wasn't all the time, but there were a few scenes like that.
To sum everything up, I'm not sure whether or not I would suggest this. Probably not. While the first was totally awesome, this movie needs a good deal of work.
This is not my favorite movie, and a disappointment to the first movie.
