BatsyCharky I heard a lot of bad reviews but I honestly think that this movie doesn't deserve it. Chun-Li was always my favourite character and to see a film just of her was so entertaining. I watched it when it first came out and I'm watching it again. It's better now. And Vega and Chun-Li always had bad blood. It's fun to watch them fight.
eeveeespionfan2 Honestly this movie goes down the same path as DragonBall Evolution while being a street fighter movie, it follows its own stupid story, M.Bison wasn't a leader of a drug ring or whatever they said he was and to be honest, i don't like the actor portraying Bison, also what the heck was wrong with Vega? everything was wrong with Vega.... and not to mention... NO RYU? yeah there is no Ryu, no Ken, heck there isn't even a Dan... Im not even going to mention the fact that Chun Li looks white, also where is Akuma, Blanka, or even any of the other Street Fighter characters? in conclusion, stop...just stop it and don't make another bad movie based off a video game... Im looking at you Hit-man:Agent 47
reviewed reviewed Plot Summary: Kristen Kreuk lends tired clichés to a montage depicting her childhood relationship with her father. Suddenly Balrog (Michael Clarke Duncan) bursts through the kitchen window, catches a can of frozen OJ that has been kicked at him, laughs maniacally and starts a fight with Chun-Li's (Kreuk's) father. Kung-fu ensues, and Bison reveals that he moves so quickly gusts of wind herald his arrival. Bison and Balrog kidnap Chun-Li's father. Fast forward: wealthy Juliard grad and concert pianist Chun-Li decides that some old lady's translation of a vague ancient scroll she received in the mail is a convincing argument for her to abscond to Bangkok to live on the street while she searches for some guy named Gen. Eventually Gen becomes her master, we discover her father is still alive and the financial backbone of Bison's criminal organization, the most unlikely interpol agent you ever could cast (Klein) is bumping rap music while maintaining a healthy sexual interest in a Thai detective (Bloodgood) and doing no useful police work, Chun-Li lures a lesbian to a bathroom to beat information out of her, Vega appears briefly, and the diabolical plot of Bison to tear down the slums of Bangkok and develop townhouses is revealed. Two Hadouken-like energy blobs are fired off in total.Good: Kreuk surprisingly, hearing her say "these streets" in a wistful tone particularly satisfying in a bad>good way. Some decent kung-fu, hilariously awful four man gun-circle around Kreuk which she dispatches handily by break dancing, Klein being a total weirdo, Klein noticing the most obviously placed bomb/wireless-router with an L.E.D glued onto the front ever and jumping out of the buildings as it explodes. Lots of heartless death. Kreuk/Lesbian hench-woman share strange courting ritual that resembles bad dancing.Bad: It's all bad in some respect.Ugly: Use of screen-time, involvement of police, bad guy's endgame, casting in general (not Kreuk), lack of commitment to either realism or "powers" of street fighters: instead movie treads awkward middle ground, Bison's backstory, Vega's character, the Hadouken-like energy ball thingy, cops losing a tail due to imposed make-out/cover-up of surveillance by Klein, Bison manipulates well-connected businessmen and crime bosses like they are twelve and openly confronts police forces with armed security forces bearing the logo of his company. In short the plot.Strangely watchable if you can remain un-phased by all the terrible things that make this a terrible movie in order to appreciate kreuk kicking ass and Klein sucking it in their respective roles.
Tkosan It was miracle that the European boss was Finnish (Sami Vayrynen). So we got to hear few (two lines) of Finnish.Every other thing falls flat. Chun-Li didn't look like Chun-Li. Gen didn't look like Gen. Bison(Vega) didn't look like Bison(Vega). Vega(Balrog) didn't look like Vega(Balrog). Well Balrog(Bison) so what look like Balrog(Bison), but with others wasn't enough. So casting was off very much.And ending was disappointing. It left too much open. And same time it reveal too much.So we are left wait sequel that by my option is going to suck more.
