if you think my heading be cheesy and stupid youre absolutely right and i heartily agree . unfortunately that vary statement be the crux of the late street fighter attempt plot . ignore the 1994 van damme version of the franchise this film start anew and focus on the character of chun li and a young asian woman highly skilled in both piano and martial art . her dad get take away from her at a young age by m. bison who use him in his criminal plot to overthrow bangkok . unfortunately for bison chun li grow up and meet a mystic who teach her some freaky stuff and set out to kick his as . while the van damme version be far from spectacular it have a sense of humor about itself and wasn not afraid to have fun with the material and which be at the very least entertain for a lazy hour and a half . the legend of chun li try to be a dark brooding action thriller with something like batman begin a it model . but the material just doesn not support it . the plot go back and forth between clichés and just plan dumb hokey sci fi stuff . yes and be rid of your goodness be actually a plot point . the script be load with cheesy dialog and flat character which doesn not make the actor job any easy and they really do not live up to the challenge . chris klein be particularly bad in his attempt to be the bad as . you would think the action would at least make it worth the time but even that be nothing to brag about . the fight be far too staged and obviously fake . they throw in some signature move from the video game that be beyond reality . if they would be shoot differently they would have be cool and but here they just look ridiculous . these be thing that would fit at home in a more cartoony film like it predecessor . but sorry and no go .
