Mortal Kombat is a fun movie, I'd have maybe prefered if they focused more on certain characters (it'd probably be scorpion and subzero because they are very marketable) because it would change from characters a lot without going into very much depth but still a fun movie to watch with your buddies and shout stuff at. I've never heard anyone at all say anything good about Anhilation, I like badmovies (obviously why else would i be here) but i've heard it's not 'fun' bad it's just unwatchable so unless it comes on TV one day (which it doens't seem to) I'll probably never bother watching it.
If you have TNT/TBS, check there for Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.  I've seen it pop up on those two channels most frequently.  Especially on the weekends, when they do all movie days.  Usually I see it in early mornings, like, 8AM or at a late hour, like, 1AM.

MORTAL KOMBATTTT!

Sorry, couldn't resist.  I like this movie, I never thought much of the game (I was a Street Fighter fan).  But its a fun film, and I still like way the multi-armed evil guy turned out in the movie.

Goro.  He's awesome.

I liked both Street Fighter and MK.  The Street Fighter movie sucked.

The third movies been in prepoduction for what seems like forever now.  Its supposed to surplant MK:Anihilation as the sequel to the first.  Which seems strange because it will most likely have more new actors playing the previous roles, new style of action (either in the style of the Matix, or more hopefully the style of films like The Transporter)  I wish they could just get started on it already.  Or maybe I don't.  In the previous two movies my favorite character were killed.  Reptile in the first, Smoke and Baraka in the second.  Poor Kabal only was mentioned as being killed.

I think as a video game movie Mortal Kombat was better than Street Fighter.  Mortal Komabat stayed much closer to the characters than the Street Fighter movie.

Right now, the only thing Mortal Komabt has on the horizion is a crossover video game with DC comics.  The trrailer shows Sub-Zero fighting Batman. 
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

The 2D Mortal Kombat games are awesome. The 3D ones blow.

As for the movie. I enjoyed the first one, it wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. The second was crap.

Depending on the budget (and if it gets made), I'd love to see some stuff with Cyrax and Sektor.

Mortal Kombat was a great movie when I was a kid, it doesn't seem to have aged well. I watched it a couple of week ago and it was meh to me. MK 2 sucked hard, I don't think I even finished watching that one.
