MORTAL KOMBAT: LEGACY - SEASON 2 (Watch All Episodes)

Although not as hyped as season 1, the new season of the web-series "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" has been released via Machinima, but this time Warner Bros. decided to release all 10 episodes of the new season at the same time. So, now you can watch the full season from beginning to end (after the jump). While certainly flawed, the new season does provide some improvements over the first one. First of all, the production values have increased. Secondly, most of the roles have been recast, even the returning characters, resulting in some better acting.

The new additions include Mark Dacascos ("Crying Freeman", "Brotherhood of the Woold") as Kung Lao, Casper Van Dien ("Starship Troopers") as Johnny Cage, David Lee McInnis as Raiden, Michelle Lee as Mileena, Eric Steinberg ("Stargate SG-1") as Sub-Zero, Daniel Southworth ("Act of Valor") as Kenshi, Kim Do Nguyen (stunt work for "The Avengers") as Ermac, and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shang Tsung. Tagawa previously played Tsung in the 1995 "Mortal Kombat" movie directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.

In terms of story and character deleopment, I'll let the fans judge the series. While the overall evolution of the series can be described as ambitious, they certainly need to work harder to deliver a truly compelling story. Still, for what it is, it's a lot of fun.

Kevin Tancharoen, the creator of "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" returns to direct the new season and is also working hard to deliver the big screen reboot fans are waiting for. The reboot has been scheduled for release in 2015 by Warner Bros. The millions of views that these Machinima episodes have are proof enough that Warner Bros. could land a big box-office hit when the movie finally arrives in theaters.

Watch all 10 episodes after the jump.
