Producer of 'Mortal Kombat 2' Responds to Criticism: 'What the Hell?'
Todd Garner, the producer of 'Mortal Kombat 2', commented on the film's criticism, noting that reviewers often lack familiarity with the franchise's lore.
He pointed out the incompetence of critics who express dissatisfaction with classic elements, such as Kano's laser eye, and fail to understand fan interests.
Garner stated, "Some reviews just make me laugh. It's obvious they have never played the game and have no idea what fans want. Why are we still allowing people who have no love for the genre to write reviews for such films?"
Film critic Griffin Schiller disagreed, emphasizing that knowledge of the game lore is not a prerequisite for watching the film. He believes films should be evaluated primarily as standalone works, not just as fan service.

In response, Garner clarified that his criticism was directed solely at those reviewers who expressed dissatisfaction with fundamental elements of the universe. He emphasized that such individuals cannot objectively analyze the film.
Fans also pointed out inconsistencies with the canon in Garner's own works, reminding him of ambiguous decisions in the first film. The producer agreed with their perspective, while his film continues to show strong performance.
