Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li Reviews - Ouch!

February 27, 2009 in Reviews comments 5

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is finally in cinemas, and it has taken quite a lashing from professional reviewers. Here is a handful of such reviews ...

  • AMCtv.com: "I much prefer the flamboyant badness of the '94 flick to the attractive, even-keeled mediocrity of this one. Jean-Claude Van Damme's stock just rose considerably."

  • WJFK-FM (CBS Radio) (-5/5): "As a fan of the video game series, I can honestly say that this is hands down one of the worst films I have ever seen. Chris Klein is so bad that he made the movie a comedy."

  • IGN Movies (1.5/5): "It may not be as gaudy or goofy as its predecessor, but it's far more boring and banal. It's a videogame adaptation that loses sight of what made the game popular to begin with: it was fun."

      Hardly surprising. The movie basically had 'FAIL' stamped on it's head since it was in production.

      As with 95% of other game-movie adaptations.

      And yet, people are still going to watch it, and the actors will still make a shit ton of money.

      That makes me tremendously sad inside.

        Sad fact of life; people have no taste.

      Unless you're a die-hard fan of the series, don't even think of seeing this.

      I saw it, and from the audience turnout, I don't think we have to worry about this game-movie adaptation making too much money....
