It was the &#8217;90s and I was going through kind of a Christopher Lambert phase (if you ever have the chance to see <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=op6AeXNWG50\" target=\"_blank\">The Hunted<\/a>, I highly recommend it), and it&#8217;s also possible that I may have been mildly hammered. But the film itself has an underlying earnestness, and some really good choreography, that elevates it above the cheese line and into the realm of <em>Legitimately Good Videogame Movie<\/em>. (Plus there&#8217;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/culture\/2021\/04\/mortal-kombat-movie-theme-immortals-techno-syndrome-interview.html\" target=\"_blank\">that guy who yells &#8220;Mortal Kombat!&#8221;<\/a> That guy rocked.)<\/p>\n<p>I bring all this up because the trailer for Mortal Kombat 2\u2014the one with Karl Urban as Johnny Cage\u2014is here, and, well, I can&#8217;t say it fills me with confidence. Maybe it&#8217;s not fair to be overly critical of the dialog in a New Line Cinema flick about some interdimensional <em>Kumite<\/em>, but lines like &#8220;How are you doing that?&#8221; and &#8220;It&#8217;s time to become the hero you were meant to be&#8221; clang like they were written by George Lucas.<\/p>\n<p>What little there is to see of the fights don&#8217;t strike me as all that exciting either: There&#8217;s not much revealed in the way of superpowered pugilism at this point, no, and maybe I&#8217;ve been <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/johnny-cages-mortal-kombat-11-fatality-should-win-an-award\/\">spoiled by the games<\/a>, but the direct-to-DVD-caliber CGI fatality at the end of the clip leaves me flat. It&#8217;s also odd that the protagonist of the 2021 flick, who wasn&#8217;t in any of the games, has seemingly been reduced to a bit player in the sequel without a single line in the trailer.<\/p>\n<p>The X-factor here is, of course, Karl Urban. Has he ever been in a bad movie? Well, yes, quite a few of them in fact. But he&#8217;s always the best part of them, too, and no matter what else is going on there&#8217;s always a chance he&#8217;ll pull it out of the fire. Remember <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=394qjL3Uw5E\" target=\"_blank\">Pathfinder<\/a>? Not great! Yet somehow, <em>awesome<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also possible that I&#8217;m being too much of a Doubting Thomas here, because the reaction to the trailer on YouTube is enormously positive\u2014and open-eyed about how it&#8217;s likely to work out.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:40.21%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"n3VzBqVVHVTeAfApDswvz3\" name=\"mk\" alt=\"Critics review: 34%.
