Mortal Kombat II picks up right where the 2021 reboot left off, wasting no time delivering on everything the first film teed up. Karl Urban steps in as a washed-up Johnny Cage, Adeline Rudolph's Kitana takes center stage, and Hiroyuki Sanada's Scorpion is back to remind everyone why he's the franchise's most iconic character. Meanwhile, Josh Lawson's Kano somehow returns from the dead because reasons.
Director Simon McQuoid's sequel leans hard into the franchise's core appeal: colorful characters brutalizing each other in spectacularly gruesome ways. Max Scoville breaks down what works and what doesn’t in this big, loud, fun and gruesome sequel.
