Flawed Victory: The Long Road to a Good Mortal Kombat Movie Sequel
It took nearly 30 years, but someone finally made a great sequel to a
Mortal Kombat movie. But Mortal Kombat II is standing on the shoulders
of a giant... a giant failure: 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation,
widely considered one of the worst video game adaptations ever. IGN's
Tom Jorgensen takes a look back at Mortal Kombat: Annihilation's
complicated legacy, and at how it laid the groundwork for every video
game movie sequel that followed.
