After eleven months of anticipation and suspense, I'm severely underwhelmed. Looking back to last April, I was so excited to be on the set of street fighter, and how serious they were about the film. I even had to take pictures down from my AND website because of the "security" of the film. Now I see that threatening email and say "What an over reaction!"
WTF happened in Street Fighter that was so bad? It was a good script, especially for a movie based on a video game. Here are a few things to ponder upon my movie review.
Bad
Editing (that might be the worst cutting and transition sequence, which made the movie rate at a B class movie, ew!)
Music (any movie that has a rap score for the name of the movie, sucks!)
Acting (we need a sub category for this one)
Chris Klien, I had no faith in you to begin with, and yet you disappoint me. I don't even know how that is possible! His acting was seriously laughably bad. In fact, I think everyone was laughing every time he came onto the screen.
Robin Shou, you've come a long way from Mortal Combat, but somehow, I don't remember your acting being so...chopy. Really nice guy, though, and in his defense they were rushing him.
Dubbing: man it was crap to hear Moon Bloodgood's voice dubbed over. She's sexy and has a great voice WTF.
Good
Ok in all fairness my mom's part was the highlight of the movie. It was the best 60sec clip! I saw it then, and I saw it in the production. Even if she wasn't my mom, I would have said, good one Cheng Pei Pei
Neil McDonough: I'm convinced you could be a bad guy
Micheal Clarke Duncan: Not a really hard role for you, but none-the-less great job.
Oh Awesome Trailer! Might be the best bit of the movie.
I don't really recommend seeing this movie, unless you are stoned, and watch it for comic purposes. Oh and of course if you want to pay $10 to see my mom in it :). But my point is that i'm sadly, sadly, disappointed. I see the next Street fighter going straight to DVD.
