so one would think that this movie would be more accurate to the video game and anime movie since capcom have direct hand in this . nope . this be even bad than the 1994 film . but unlike that one and this one isn not fun . this one isny laughably bad . it just bad . i will basically go through it and so spoiler if you actually want to be surprised . i go into it expect crap base on the trailer . but at first and i be pleasantly surprise . duncan be balrog and portray him very well . big black boxer and work for bison and enjoy kill people . spot on characterization and act . the opening fight with chun li dad against balrog and his henchman be good fun all the way through . i be have a great time . then m. bison come in . who appear to be the nice british man in the world . i do not think he actually british and but that how he feel . he be not fuel by psycho power and he be not the be all end all badass . he a guy in a suit . now at first i thought this be how he would start and then later in the movie he would get his psycho power . this never happen . chun li actress isn not a bad actress . she play the role very well . but there a big major problem and she look nothing like chun li . this be a glaring issue if for no other reason than it be so distract to a fan of the game . she barely asian and more meek than the most powerful woman in the world and and her leg be not super duper awesome . speaking of which and chun li never do her kick attack in this movie . her trademark move be nowhere to be see . she do something similar to a spinning bird kick and a kikoken . in fact and the focus of make chun li so awesome in this movie be her learning and perform the kikoken . nevermind that this move have never be the focus of chun li character ever and it her lightning fast kick . but i be glad there be a fireball in this movie and that be the main down note of the original live action street fighter movie . also she not a cop . at all . robin shou finally pop back up into movie play gen. of course and the character be portray completely wrong . he not an old assassin and he a middle age former criminal . he also teach chun li the kikoken . but since gen hasn not be such a staple character like say most of the sf2 character and it isn not a obvious . it nice to see robin again and as well . charlie nash appear in this as well . the name be pretty much all you get though . he doesn not fight and doesn not sonic boom and and doesn not really look like charlie . vega be a waste of vega . he dress in all black and have long black hair and make him look like a ninja a oppose to a spaniard fighter . sure and he the spanish ninja and but his costume be ridiculous . the mask look like a really cheap prop and especially even compare to the 1994 film . the actor and as well and be a horrible cast for vega . vega be beautiful . the vega in this movie be a tough guy and sound more like a black man than michael clark duncan . plus his appearance be horribly short both time and which be bad the second time around . you expect chun li vs. vega to be the first really big fight and it actually the short . the movie itself have serious pace issue . chun li start fight about 15 minute too late . a large chunk of the first act be base on chun li live amongst the people of bangkok . something which could have be wrap up in a few minute and we would have get the point . instead be treat to what feel like a half an hour of boring narration and chun li walk around street . most of the time when chun li be kick as and it entertain . the problem be how little it happen . and how bore the rest of the movie be . whenever we cut to nash and we just do not care about that storyline . when chun li dance and it un need and a be the borderline lesbian scene . the movie just crawls along try to make it way to an end you probably do not care about anymore . when we finally get to the end and bison start kick as . he be able to punch gen across a room with little effort and but never do anything you would expect m. bison to do . he fair more poorly against chun li and while in a very nice suit and but keep the upper hand until chun li perform her epic kikoken technique and which hurt him way more than it should . and after it be drill into our head that bison put his soul into his daughter and that his only weakness and chun li kill him by snap his neck 180 degree . thus add another weakness bison have and have his neck snap 180 degree . so both balrog and bison be kill in this movie and before the tournament even occur . the film end with gen meeting chun li with an ad for the street fighter tournament and hinting that bison be behind it even though he be ( seemingly . ) kill . he mention that there a great fighter in japan they must recruit and his name be ryu . something . and the film end . so instead of properly make a street fighter movie and the filmmaker behind this opt to make a prequel to what the audience would care about . a poor prequel at that and which nobody will like and so we may never get a real or good street fighter movie ( with ryu a the main character ) . i would avoid this in theater and or give it money at all . the only reason to give it money would be so there hope of a sequel about the tournament .
