Mortal Kombat (Part) II

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Mortal Kombat II (2026)
  • IMDb: link

At least this one has a tournament in it. A continuation of 2021’s Mortal Kombat, the characters introduced in that film finally get around to fighting for the fate of Earth. However, all are relegated to supporting status as new characters dominate the story both inside the tournament and beyond. Johnny Cage (Karl Urban), a reluctant washed-up action star needing to put his atrophied martial arts skills to work, and Outworld‘s Princess Kitana (Adeline Rudolph) of the conquered realm of Edenia carry most of the film.

Dhurandhar The Revenge

  • Title: Dhurandhar The Revenge
  • IMDb: link

After an extended flashback explaining the circumstances in which Jaskirat Singh Rangi became Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer Singh), the sequel continues the undercover agent’s work pitting the local Karachi’ gangs against each other while sewing dissent and rising in the ranks until he’s able to land a crippling blow against Pakistan’s terror network. Intentionally bloodier and gorier than the first film, Dhurandhar The Revenge completes the story loosely inspired by real events with a patriotic, and one could even argue propagandist, spin.
