With classic characters and terrible special effects, MK2:A made us feel like we were kids again, rushing in the house after school, grabbing some chips and Coke (Ok, Sam's Cola), and settling in for the wonder that was Power Rangers. Too bad Mortal Kombat 2 doesn't compare. Jax's constant quips give out some seriously out of place buddy cop movie vibes, they brought in a different actor to play Johnny Cage just to kill him off immediately, and Raiden's edgy bleach-blond makeover is the worst. The plot is all over the place and...well, just one word: dragons. The effects alone make it worth watching, but we recommend a minimum of three mimosas.
