I got to see the movie 5 days ago on youtube. Good thing somebody uploaded it. I was still a baby when this first came out. I got to see it and it was really bad. It turned out to be a war movie more than just your average martial arts movie.

Reasons why I hate this movie 1. It is suppose to be about a tournament not a freakin search & rescue operation. 2. Why is the setting is in a city called "Shadaloo?" FYI Shadaloo is a criminal organization lead by M. Bison. And the setting should take place around the world! 3. Ryu is suppose to be the main character instead he plays a minor role and along with Ken they're like from the mafia or something. Guile is the main character and plays a major role. What's up with that? 4. Why is Charlie Blanka? Charlie is dead/Blanka is young boy named Jimmy. 5. Dhalsim is the master of Yoga why is he a scientist? 6. Sagat is a Muay Thai emperor not a arms dealer. 7. Zangief and Dee Jay are not Shadaloo members they don't have any important roles. 8. Chun Li is suppose to be a Interpol agent, E. Honda is a Sumo wrestler, and Balrog is a Shadaloo member. They're not reporters! 9. Bison is always getting owned he is suppose to be powerful and psychotic like in the game.

This movie almost killed the SF series! I prefer SF2 the animated movie than this.

4/10 for creativity on the plot (NOT rather give it -4/10)

It was a bit of a disjointed and plotless film. I must say, I'm an avid fan of the game - so this film really did not do justice in terms of the rich SF universe. The acting was mediocre and unequal. The director didn't tie things together well.

Oh dear... I completely forgot that I watched this movie when it came out on theaters! I was a HUGE "Street Fighter II" fan and this movie was like a dream come true despite the fact that Guile was the main character; overshadowing Ryu and Ken. Still, I bought the idea and went to the theater with high expectations.

To be honest, the movie is not a disaster but it just didn't catch the vibe of the video game; it just didn't feel like "Street Fighter". The kung-fuesque action sequences were very interesting but didn't follow the greatness of the game. Mortal Kombat worked because it's characters were "real" persons while it was extremely complicated to get on the big screen real persons that were originally cartoons.

Also, the plot was very complex when the video game makes it very simple. Still I enjoyed the cheese factor of it. The producers and Director tried too hard to make it feel like the video game but they couldn't reach the objective. Sadly, this movie is remembered as one of the worst of it's kind. I'd say give it the chance to witness cheese at it's maximum.
