THE FUSE

I really wasn’t expecting the positive reviews for Mortal Kombat II, due in theaters May 8. Its most recent “Let’s Fuckin’ Go” trailer suggested something that looked so far beyond campy schlock that it would surely be the sort of colossal flop that develops into a cult favorite. But instead, with reviews now out, it’s sitting at a very respectable 73 percent on Rotten Tomatoes! But this hasn’t stopped producer Todd Garner from launching into a disgusted rant on X over how clueless all the critics must be.
