Not THAT bad you guys


As a martial arts film it's pretty decent. I would still put it in the top 10 video game movies of all time.

If you want to talk about unwatchable then check out Street Fighter, Legend of Chun Li, King of Fighters, Mario.... now those are some unwatchable films! And the list could go on.

Adding MK Annihilation to my collection of tongue and cheek flicks like Big Trouble In Little China, The Golden Child, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Hercules, Xena Warrior Princess, Aeon Flux, Ultraviolet, 3 Ninjas, ect.

Its in the top ten worst movies ever let alone video game movies. I thought it was unwatchable personally. Hey if u liked it, good. Im glad you enjoyed it. Great thing about movies, their subjective.

many of the fight scenes are boring.

The first film is so much better, though. Expectations were massive for "Annihilation", and the film was so ridiculous on multiple levels. A lot of fans - myself included - felt insulted by the result, to the point that a planned third film was stuck in development hell for nearly a decade before dissolving completely. A planned reboot by WB has been in the works for some time, but its been suffering lots of creative problems as well.

For me, it was watchable thanks to the fight scenes. No, they weren't as memorable or as well-made as those in the first movie, but they were fairly entertaining for the most part. Having said that, I can see why this movie gets a bad rap.



Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

You crazy Holmes this movie sucks more then church and I'm a MK fanboy, bad acting bad CGI the story was some type of MK2&3 abortion. Oh and let's not forget how Mr.kahn was portrayed as a bald guy who failed out of the power rangers acting acadmeny, and lastly this isn't a martial arts movie, the fighting in this movie was closer to You Got Served style dancing then real fighting. Funny how they took all the good aspects of the first movie and said *beep* it there is no room for anything good here

Lol how many video games turned movies is there? You say it's in your top 10 but I couldn't even name 10 of them

Double dragon
Street fighter

Mortal kombat annihilation
Resident evil (plus a billion sequels)
Silent hill
House of the dead
Alone in the dark
