So I saw the Street Fighter Movie
The movie was awful.
Bad.
Terrible.
The movie has bad writing (in spades) and bad acting (except for Lana’s excellent ability to cry, and the Bison actor’s obvious hamming it up). The movie also takes the game’s story, kills it, and does things to its corpse that are illegal in 48 states. Gen teaches Chun-li how to throw a Hadoken.
And yet…
The action was good, unexpectedly violent, and Chun-Li shoots someone in the chest with a pistol. She’s also really badass, a treatment of the character that I did not expect but enjoyed without reservation. She sneaks around, taking obvious glee in slamming people’s faces into doors and cars. And she makes fun of Vega’s face.
So, should you see it? No. The bad parts are unforgivably so, an obvious sign of lack of care. Yet the good parts really are fun, and hopefully someone will upload them to Youtube for you.
