I was finally able to see this installment. It’s been 5 years since the previous one. I am still trying to decide if I really liked this installment or not. I spent a good bit of time watching the movie from between my fingers as the battles were so intense and at times bloody, I was sure the good guys would not win.

This installment brings Johnny Cage to the Fan Favorite Champions who are then pitted against one another in an ultimate no-holes barred gory battle to defeat the Dark Rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. The Story unfolds from there…

Karl Urban’s portrayal of Johnny Cage made this installment interesting and provided some comic relief.

A lot of this movie is intensely violent and very bloody. There is breath-taking cinematography and some really cool special effects. The action is non-stop and the suspense is nail-biting.

They did a good job with continuity as there are 4 returning characters from the 1^st installment.

If you are a martial arts fan or a fan of the video game, you will find a major portion of this movie very intriguing.

This is a 3 ½ Star Movie!!
