I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Admirable film.

Absolutely the worst movie.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

What's not to like about this movie? Well, there's a lot actually. Like the characters, the music, etc. But because it's so terrible, it's what makes it such a fun, enjoyable movie. I've only played one of the Street Fighter games, that being the fourth one. So I watched this film not really expecting a faithful adaptation, but a fun, entertaining mess. The action sequences are so terribly amazing, the characters are laughably cheesy, the acting is so laughably awkward, and the movie has a very frail Raul Julia as Bison. Definitely a guilty pleasure movie at best. The final fight scene was pretty cool and I did like how they added the cliche of the main character supposedly be dead, but when he's really alive. A fun movie! If you like a good guilty pleasure movie, this might be the film for you. If you are a big fan of the video games, you're gonna really hate this movie.

First of, this is an adaptation of the Street Fighter video games. Listen, how you make a game of two guys or gals fighting and then one die... eh? Make a storyline as you can. I think anything could work. And after seeing what they make with street fighter after this movie, and that include the mini-series with zero budget everyone is saying it's good... no it's not. This movie is by no way a masterpiece but it delivers.Why it is a success and make 100 mil at the BOX-OFFICE when it cost barely 35. The kids like it at that time, i know, i was 11 ! It was not PG or G, but it was suitable for children. I was there alone between Christmas and new year's eve. One awesome gift my father gives to me. I also had tons of action figures and vehicules that year. You know what... it's 2017 and I still have them. It was based on the GI Joe.The way they built Guile was right. He need to be strong and look good. Cammy was MILF all the way ! Chun-Li OK a reporter but when she fights, she is a beast. Bullrog, E. Honda are fun and have chemistry. Ken and Ryu are right on target ! Always see them as friends just like the Double Dragon team of Billy and Jimmy Lee.The villains are fun as hell. I remember hating so much Raul Julia because he was right on target with his Bison performance. The man deliver his last live performance before passing away and that's sad. Truly a highlight here.The only storyline I found a big boring is the one with Carlos Blanka and Dhalsim. They have chemistry, it's just that it's bland and a bit bad. Blanka should have become that huge beast and kill tons of people at the end.Andrew Bryniarski is the only Zangief i will believe. Jay Tavare was made for Vega role. Too bad there is no sequels or spin off. That man will have made a perfect Vega live film. Imagine him fighting Wolverine/Logan ! oooh ! Maybe the film has not aged too well, many complains about the change... try to make a good film out of a Street Fighter game when there is NO storyline... good luck ! Don't be too hard on theses movies, even if Mortal Kombat as a higher score.... watch Mortal Kombat 2 you will see what a true bad video game adaptation truly is. This movie, is not !

I don't understand how you can seriously write a bad review for this movie (or any JCVD movie for that matter). It's based on an 8-bit video game from the 1980s that has a witch doctor who breathes fire and stretches his limbs twice the length of his body, a Chinese schoolgirl who kicks at the speed of sound, and a radioactive electricity monster with orange spikes for hair. You wanted a Gary Oldman-esque performance from Jean Claude? You were expecting less random objects to explode for no reason? Maybe more verisimilitude when it comes to geopolitical crises? Come on. Have a sense of humor. This is one of the most fun films you'll ever see as long as you don't try to take it seriously.

Video game movies are still more often disappointments than successes, but at least we've moved on from the era of crud like Street Fighter. Movies like this were made in such a way that they didn't appeal to the fans of the games or the casual movie audience.My primary complaint is the laughable casting. It's like the makers of the movie knew absolutely nothing about the games except for the sex, names, and races of the various characters. They make a huge effort to work the names of every character into the movie, just so the audience will (presumably) think it's cool to see their favorites on the big screen. But, Van Damme as an American soldier? Kylie Minogue as Cammy? Oh, and let's briefly mention the story. Balrog is a cameraman and Ryu and Ken (with brown hair!!) are some type of lovable con-men? Shadaloo City? Ugh. Actual street fighting wouldn't give me enough brain damage to want to ever see this again.
