2月に予告編が公開された映画『Mortal Kombat 2』は、5月8日に劇場公開を迎え、Rotten Tomatoesでは73％の評価を獲得しました。この続編は、その過激な描写やユーモアで称賛を集める一方、物語の弱さを指摘する声もあり、評価が分かれています。プロデューサーのトッド・ガーナー氏は、ソーシャルメディア上で否定的な批評に対して公然と反論しました。
サイモン・マッコイド監督がメガホンを取り、ジョニー・ケージ役にカール・アーバンを起用した本作は、2021年公開の前作から物語が続いています。サブ・ゼロやスコーピオンといったおなじみのキャラクターに加え、新たなフェイタリティや復活劇が描かれていますが、物語の感情的な重要性については批評家の間でも意見が分かれています。Inverseや/Filmといったメディアの批評家は、本作の過激なバイオレンスと心に響く瞬間を評価した一方で、The GuardianやVultureは、戦闘シーンのテンポの悪さや過剰な説明が作品への没入を妨げていると指摘しています。
