Ooh, harsh.

And I was thinking of going to see it this afternoon.

I told ya peeps this wouldn't be any good.

Starlight why on Earth do you want to see this?  I'm a huge SF fan and I'm skipping this at the movies, definitely gonna check it out on video though cause I'm a masochist.

The SF4 game is pure awesomeness.  I'm kinda sad this flick will fail miserably, it means I'll never get the Ryu film I want.  Oh well, there's always the anime versions.

Hey yo Rob, I take it this was worse than the Van Damme version?

I wouldn't see this if you guys gave me a copy of it for free.  Why do you think Lana went back to Smallville this year...this was the only other job she could get and realized...HEY! I'm not really a movie star after all.

Man, how far has Chris Klien fallen to be doing this crap?

Remember Hanso, I said "I was thinking" of seeing it.

Hell I only saw the trailer yesterday.

I'm also thinking of seeing Fired Up, but I'm even less likely to go see it.

Movies may cost 5 bucks here (in the afternoon hours) but even I'm not going to willingly waste that small amount.

Back to the local listings....there must be something in this area worth seeing.

I actually read a few reviews saying Fired Up wasn't bad, so I'd definitely go check that out instead of Street Fighter.

Well, I just got in from catching a matinee and I think Rob is being kind. This film is putrid. Like him I expeced it to be bad but have at least some decent action or something that would redeem it a little bit, but nothing.

The story is dumb, doesn't make sense, one subplot is just an excuse to get the cliche renegade cop in the movie except this time he's accompanied by a renegade female cop. Another subplot, Bison's daughter made no sense either, they act like she needed saving. Balrog's last fight is anticlimactic with an ending stolen from an Arnie flick but without the funny line to wrap it up.

The acting is terrible, we already know that Kreuk is a fraud but Klein deserves special mention for how terrible he was. Granted he wasn't given much to work with but his performance was laughable. I guess now a days you have to take whatever jobs are available to you.

SKIP IT

well hanso, I thought I'd just stay home

it's either Street Fighter, Fired Up (given the reviews I saw, it's a steaming pile as well) or the Jonas Brothers concert film.

Why can't we have a Jimmy Buffett live 3D concert film? That I'd gladly pay (whatever it costs) to see.

I'll just stay home this afternoon with my Drew Carey reruns and my Michael Baigent books.

I give the director props for attempting to try to make a good streetfighter movie, but unfortunately like most said it failed honestly the only one who made the movie great is Gen Robin Shou who we know and love as Liu Kang return to Mk you bastard lol, Kreuk did sort of a good job as chun li but oh my god Taboo as Vega? seriously just stick to your music, Balrog not even close to the original Balrog, Bison ok the guy who played him would be better if he had black hair and suit etc etc but other wise he did just ok, Charlie Nash didnt look anything like him, we should all thank Hyde Park Entertainment for this you guys just made it worse for a company thats having a good run on SF4, Hyde Park Entertainment just made capcom look stupid. and should never try attempting to make movies out of video games ever again. The First Street Fighter is more better than this one put it that way. and Capcom if later down the road make a reboot of Street Fighter please sit next to them and make sure the cast and story line is on point, because the looks is a major thing, and story come on the anime is simply nasty. People left during half of the movie what does that tell you?.

I'm a huge SF fan also and I actually forgot it came out this week.  I guess you see how much I really want to see this.  Even just looking at the trailers it looked like garbage.  I dont see spending any money on this.  It's probably not even worth a bootleg.

Neal McDonough - "Everyone spoke so highly of Raul Julia's performance and how fantastic it was. "Can you live up to that?"

Neal define "Everyone" for me. I'm not knocking Julia's talent, but given the material he had to work with, I guess he worked some magic into his role. I think i'll stick to Original Animated movie. Their failure to even be able to match the appearance of the characters is the first let down. Is not their fault (maybe it is, for trying to make this anyway)... In order to give the storyline some depth, one would have to change the story itself.
