"Some of these reviews are cracking me up. It's clear they have never played the game and have no idea what the fans want or ANY of the rules/ canon of Mortal Kombat. One reviewer was mad that a guy 'had a laser eye!' Why the fuck do we still allow people that don't have any love for the genre review these movies! Baffling."
Mortal Kombat II achieved a respectable 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, defying expectations for what appeared to be campy schlock. Despite positive critical reception, producer Todd Garner launched a profanity-laden rant on X, claiming critics never played the game and misunderstood Mortal Kombat canon and fan desires. He specifically criticized a reviewer for objecting to a character having laser eyes. Garner, known for producing films with extremely low Rotten Tomatoes scores like Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and The Master of Disguise, expressed frustration that unqualified reviewers were evaluating the movie. Reports indicate Garner was also blocking critics on Twitter during this outburst.
