Spoiler Review: Mortal Kombat 2

This week we review and discuss Mortal Kombat 2, a fantasy martial arts movie directed by Simon  McQuoid and starring Karl Urban, Adeline Rudolph and Tadanobu Asano, about Johnny Cage who is recruited to join his fellow Earthrealm fighters in an interdimensional tournament against the Outworld warriors and stop the tyrannical emperor Shao Kahn, with the help of Edenian princess Kitana.We discuss our experiences watching this movie as someone vaguely interested in the lore of Mortal Kombat but never having played the games, whether the story holds up and what storytelling mistakes we thought undermined the journeys of the main characters Johnny Cage and Kitana, what we should expect from video game adaptations and which recent movies have gotten the adaptation right and which got it wrong, why Mortal Kombat 2 disappoints as a martial arts movie, and much more.Check out our other reviews and clips on all major platforms here:https://linktr.ee/EyeOfTheStormMoviePodcast0:00 Intro0:26 Movie Recommendations (Sleepers (1996), The Comeback (2005))07:22 Synopsis & Overall Impressions15:00 Spoiler Discussion51:23 Conclusion & Ratings
