Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Producer Lashes Out at Negative Reviews That 'Don't Have Any Love for the Genre'

Mortal Kombat II opened to mostly positive early reviews, including a 73% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Producer Todd Garner blasted critics on X, saying some don’t understand the game or its canon and shouldn’t review the film.

The sequel has still drawn favorable notices from outlets like IGN, Total Film, and RogerEbert.com, despite the backlash.

The response underscores the tension between fan-focused genre movies and professional film criticism.
