Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

GazerRise Fantastic!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

eeveeespionfan2 Honestly this movie goes down the same path as DragonBall Evolution while being a street fighter movie, it follows its own stupid story, M.Bison wasn't a leader of a drug ring or whatever they said he was and to be honest, i don't like the actor portraying Bison, also what the heck was wrong with Vega? everything was wrong with Vega.... and not to mention... NO RYU? yeah there is no Ryu, no Ken, heck there isn't even a Dan... Im not even going to mention the fact that Chun Li looks white, also where is Akuma, Blanka, or even any of the other Street Fighter characters? in conclusion, stop...just stop it and don't make another bad movie based off a video game... Im looking at you Hit-man:Agent 47

Maziun This terrible movie makes Van Damme movie look like a masterpiece in comparison. The movie makers were promising a more mature picture that will change the fate of movies based on computer games forever. Promises , promises… The movie seems to follow "Batman begins". The story about Chun Li reminds me quite a lot of Wayne's story – similar motivation , traveling around the world , finding a teacher from secret society , becoming an urban legend. The inspiration is good , but it's badly made.The movie wants to be realistic , yet the fights defy the laws of gravity and there are magical powers too. The Dark knight trilogy had more or less far fetched science fiction gadgets , but bringing a magic into movie is a completely different thing. I mean seriously it just looks stupid and laughable when other characters seem to treat it as something natural . Either the movie makers should make a movie in fantastical world (like Van Damme's movie) where magic would be natural or set the movie in real world and don't use it . You can't have both the realistic world and magic . Same goes for the over the top fights . The lack of gravity in "Matrix" makes sense , here it doesn't.The acting is awful . The only good actor here is Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP) , but even he is limited by terrible dialogue lines. It's sad to see him in another crappy movie. I guess it was really hard for him to find a good role worthy his talent considering his physical appearance. Kristin Kreuk who plays the main role is pretty and actually OK . She puts a heart in her performance , but she can't save this big mess. Other actors and actresses should never do anything related to movie making.I doubt that fans of computer game will be satisfied with this movie as adaptation . With the exception of Chun Li other characters who appear here barely resemble the characters from the game. Especially Vega who was supposed to be bad ass , yet ends pathetic. I understand the need for changes , but in the end Van Damme's movie has much more cheesy charm and reminds the game better. It also doesn't take itself too seriously like "Chun Li movie" .Bad acting , dialogue , badly written screenplay , many scenes who were supposed to be awesome are laughable (the seduction of Bison's assistant , soul into child , escape from torture and many more) , dumb fights , weak special effects. Jesus ,seriously better watch Van Damme's movie . At least is unpretentious and funny.I give it 1/10.

reviewed reviewed Plot Summary: Kristen Kreuk lends tired clichés to a montage depicting her childhood relationship with her father. Suddenly Balrog (Michael Clarke Duncan) bursts through the kitchen window, catches a can of frozen OJ that has been kicked at him, laughs maniacally and starts a fight with Chun-Li's (Kreuk's) father. Kung-fu ensues, and Bison reveals that he moves so quickly gusts of wind herald his arrival. Bison and Balrog kidnap Chun-Li's father. Fast forward: wealthy Juliard grad and concert pianist Chun-Li decides that some old lady's translation of a vague ancient scroll she received in the mail is a convincing argument for her to abscond to Bangkok to live on the street while she searches for some guy named Gen. Eventually Gen becomes her master, we discover her father is still alive and the financial backbone of Bison's criminal organization, the most unlikely interpol agent you ever could cast (Klein) is bumping rap music while maintaining a healthy sexual interest in a Thai detective (Bloodgood) and doing no useful police work, Chun-Li lures a lesbian to a bathroom to beat information out of her, Vega appears briefly, and the diabolical plot of Bison to tear down the slums of Bangkok and develop townhouses is revealed. Two Hadouken-like energy blobs are fired off in total.Good: Kreuk surprisingly, hearing her say "these streets" in a wistful tone particularly satisfying in a bad>good way. Some decent kung-fu, hilariously awful four man gun-circle around Kreuk which she dispatches handily by break dancing, Klein being a total weirdo, Klein noticing the most obviously placed bomb/wireless-router with an L.E.D glued onto the front ever and jumping out of the buildings as it explodes. Lots of heartless death. Kreuk/Lesbian hench-woman share strange courting ritual that resembles bad dancing.Bad: It's all bad in some respect.Ugly: Use of screen-time, involvement of police, bad guy's endgame, casting in general (not Kreuk), lack of commitment to either realism or "powers" of street fighters: instead movie treads awkward middle ground, Bison's backstory, Vega's character, the Hadouken-like energy ball thingy, cops losing a tail due to imposed make-out/cover-up of surveillance by Klein, Bison manipulates well-connected businessmen and crime bosses like they are twelve and openly confronts police forces with armed security forces bearing the logo of his company. In short the plot.Strangely watchable if you can remain un-phased by all the terrible things that make this a terrible movie in order to appreciate kreuk kicking ass and Klein sucking it in their respective roles.

Richard Hawes Made 15 years after Jean Claude Van Damme donned a blue beret to star in the first live-action adaptation of the popular Capcom video game, I wonder if it'll be another 15 before they try again after this second failure.A melting pot of recycled ideas, not many of which have been taken from the Street Fighter universe, this may as well have been called Chun-Li Begins. The Legend of Chun-Li takes cues from Christopher Nolan's hit Batman reboot and the similarly back-to-basics Superman series Smallville, with Kristin Kreuk (a half-Chinese Canadian) taking the lead as Chun-Li.Ming-Na played the role in the 1994 Streetfighter (directed by Steven E. de Souza) and this version sees her taking centre stage. But that isn't the only thing that distinguishes the two films. Gone are the primary colours and theatrics and instead we have a "real world" story with a handful of fantasy elements. Shadaloo is no longer a place but the name of a criminal organisation, pronounced Shadal-ow. M. Bison isn't the elaborately dressed cartoon dictator fans are familiar with, instead he's smartly dressed gangster with an Irish accent. As befits a martial arts movie, this is a revenge tale but there's a lot of other stuff going on too. Whole sub-plots that serve no purpose. The Legend of Chun-Li doesn't remind you of the Street Fighter game but it does remind you of a lot of other movies. Not only the aforementioned superhero adventures either. Every scene or plot point gives you a feeling of deja-vu. Director Andrzej Bartkowiak even rips off a memorable scene from one of his own movies (Romeo Must Die, 2000). Several moments (especially the ending) imitate Batman Begins but the results are similar to Catwoman (Pitof, 2004).Tipping its hat to video game predecessors by featuring Robin Shou, this is a curious failure, the whole thing feels more like a TV pilot or a B-movie than the major motion picture it's supposed to be.
