Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

When i first saw the trailers of this movie, i thought that it was gonna be great and entertaining. I remember playing the video games of street fighter while growing up and remembering the characters so i got excited for this. But this was a big disappointment. I can honestly say that the script was just plain awful. Since the script was crap i cant blame the actors for there performances. Except for Nash (Chris Klein) he was truly terrible, how the hell is he able to be an actor and who is the idiot that decided to pay him for it. they should of really ran through the script and made sure it all made sense. The first fight scene was actually good so i thought it was going to be a good movie, all though i did not like the intro to the movie since it dragged on. I hate movies where the characters tell their story and when their telling it from their prospective. That was how it started for street fighter. Vega was over too quick and not great, the club scene was all right until Chun-Li did her upside down kick it was way poorly done. And the ending was really weird. While Chun-Li and Gem are talking, Gem mentions Ryu's name..it must be a hint that there will be a sequel. Hopefully if there is one, it will be better than this. The movie was very confusing to watch and I just didn't understand what exactly was the point. I just got cheesed off at a point. They ruined another video game movie...way to go. I would not recommend this movie to anyone, seriously bad

So this movie has been on my radar for quite a while. I was smooth talked by Justin Mark's assurance that his treatment of the movie was respectful and to be prepared for a new era of gaming films. I was pumped and on board, and then... I saw the film. THE GOD-AWFUL The script from this movie was a joke. When Bison utters something about milk and expiry dates, I laughed. It was a nervous laugh, but it was laughter. This movie makes no sense to me at all. The pitch was it was a Chun Li story about looking beyond revenge. In the end, she gets her revenge and the moral is? Revenge is the answer. THE BAD The costumes in this movie can also suck it. I felt terrible for Kristin in the night club scene, wearing a ridiculous dress and using her feminine wiles ( primo top dollar dancing to the unaware) to lure Cantana, a lesbian associate of Bison, into a bathroom. The pacing of this movie was dreadful, and we are hand-held for every scene, if Chun Li is walking on the screen she will undoubtedly inform us "I was walking.." ... REALLY? Really. THE UGLY The truth is this movie insults movie goers, gamers, and people, in general. Am I supposed to feel for Chun Li, even though she had a privileged life, and a loving mother? How is she a victim of circumstance? Am I supposed to feel Vega's threatening persona through five minutes of him getting the crap kicked out of him? Am I supposed to believe Bison is all evil when he continues to nurture his daughter? I think this movie was seriously edited so terribly, whatever good there was to salvage was lost on the cutting room floor. Whoever edited this needs to be bird kicked in the throat. It just makes no sense to me how the editor could do his job, watch the movie and allow this to enter the theaters. The best parts of the movie involved subtitles, and a sunset. That is it. So there you go, street fighter 2? Most assuredly, not.

I don't personally care if a movie follows a comic or a video game accurately. I don't play games or read comics so others might have different opinions. I really liked street fighter: the legend of Chun-Li. It was better than i thought it would be and it had a lot of action. I recommend seeing it if your looking for an entertaining action movie with some cool martial arts. I liked the characters and thought it was better than the van-damn version. It was a good movie. I thought it was cool how they controlled energy and showed a little power. I also liked how cops were involved. I don't think it was bad that they used the actors they did.

This is really nice movie it has all the right ingredients with fighters and all this kind of things and it's definitely interesting enough so why the low points are definitely wouldn't know and all these things are definitely great but it can be said this movie unfortunately does not have the right ethical background.

I totally disagree with those negative reviews! I just came back from watching "Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li" at the cinema and the movie is better than my expectation! Way much better than the 1st movie which was so lame to watch even on DVD! I'm not an ardent fan of the game but I'm familiar with the characters and Chun Li is my favorite kick-ass heroine. Kristin Kreuk did a pleasant job as Chun Li! My salute to the production team and the director for keeping the spirit of the story/game. It may not be the best action movie but certainly a good kick ass movie with a story that worth your money! So why are you still reading this review at home/work?! Go and watch the movie at the cinema now...wherever you are!!!!!!

I watched this last night, and to say it's the worst movie ever is an exaggeration (Uwe Boll movies take the top 10) It's not by any stretch of the imagination, a good movie, but it was decent, and enjoyable. It's street fighter! The cheesy hammy acting from Chris Klein was, I thought, it's saving grace and wanted to see/hear more from him! He's obviously played the games and watched the anime's. Maybe 5 stars is a little much to give it, 4 then. I watched this with no expectations, as I seem to have repressed the original street fighter movie, that said, I also hated street fighter 4 the game. . . So if your bored and like Kristen Kreuk, watch it, you'll enjoy it, or you wont!

Is it worth adding another review that bashes this film? Why not. This is a colossally stupid excuse for a film. Is this film intended for kids or adults? The director can't decide, and instead combines the worst possible of both worlds. The film is replete with gratuitous violence (and I am not referring to the uninspired, poorly choreographed 'fight' scenes) and sexual innuendos (none of which were convincingly executed), then dumbed down to a level that would bore anyone who has ever seen moving images on a screen. After the horrendous Street Fighter flick of the mid-90's, I didn't think any filmmaker would ever touch that title again. I guess they thought the stink cloud had blown over--and they needed to create a new steaming pile.... ....and they sure did. To 'enjoy' this film, it's not enough to turn your brain off when you sit down to watch it. You actually have to be someone who is incapable of higher brain functions to begin with.
