Mortal Kombat 2 film producer asks ‘why the f**k’ critics who ‘have never played the game’ were allowed to review it

Todd Garner, producer of Mortal Kombat 2, criticized negative reviews from some critics on social media.

He argued those reviews showed a lack of understanding of Mortal Kombat lore and fan expectations.

Garner later clarified that his complaint targeted specific reviews he felt ignored core franchise elements, not all criticism.

The debate underscores the tension between fan-driven adaptations and mainstream film criticism for game-based movies.
