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.
