A Disappointing Continuation

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I think that 'Less Is More' perfectly fits "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist". It didn't try to be all in one. The plot is confined to tell the story of four 'Street Fighter' characters: Goken, Akuma, Ken and Ryu. The acting is flawed, but it's good enough for this type of movie. The special and visual effects are made decently. The score is great and adds a lot. Finally, fight choreography is very good and very pleasant for the eye so the overall impression of "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" is very positive.I didn't care much about 'how true was the plot to the game?', but it looked coherent so I found it to be quite interesting. Moreover, it looked very mature relatively to its content, something that cannot be said about most of computer game adaptations. It is wrapped very well and I had a satisfactory feeling after watching it. It flows smoothly and can be perfectly watched as a movie (in fact I hope they will release it as a single movie on cable). Another thing that I liked about "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" is that it doesn't contain violence. No gore or brutality, which is very prevalent today. I think it is suited well for the younger generation. It focuses on martial arts and training rather than violence. Couple of words about the fight choreography. I looks very solid and visually pleasant. However, since it retells the story of practitioners of a single style, the fights share similarity.

Have you seen the insane high ratings almost all the reviewers have given? They have said everything, this series is really THAT great! Season 2, please come fast! The actors doing a great job, portraying Ryu, Ken, Goken, Goki (Akuma) and Gotetsu very accurately. The production value is almost unbelievable, considering the low budget. Hollywood, shame on you! The proverb is really true: A small budget inspires creativity! (if there's motivation). After the two abysmal Hollywood movies, everybody was convinced that a live-action adaptation of Street Fighter is impossible. Assassins Fist proved us all wrong. I'm so happy for that!

I am 36 years old, since the age of 8 or 9 years old I love Street Fighter. I'm good at playing Street Fighter in my town ding dong. I also love martial arts and studied several martial arts. I thank you finally someone who can make a story in a comic martial arts into a great movie once without losing any detail. It is a video game that lifted the film to the best movies I've ever seen. Thank you for making the film as good as this, hopefully in the future will be a lot of people who can make a film that is the origin story of the video game to a movie as good as this movie. Once again thank you. Greetings from Indonesia.

I give 10★ for its consistency with the game, unlike most (if not all) ridiculous street fighter movies out there As the subtitle implies, the story focus on ken and ryu and the secret around their school style ansatsuken (assasin's fist), so, no u wont see street fighter tournament or it's many characters participant.The story itself been done real good and consistent with background story of the game series. They even carefully took care of small details trivia such the gloves and headband, again, consistent with the game time line.As a fan, u could easily recognize their style 'trademark moves' when they fight, not only the 'hado' set of hadoken-shoryuken-tatsumaki but also in their 'ordinary' punch and kick or even in some stance (not in all fight).Now i cant wait to see how they will do the 2nd season. And hopefully somebody will do the same approach with other great game series (e.g. soul edge/soul calibur, i think it has great potential and not been explored much).
