Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li
Street Fighter IV was able to raise an enormous amount of hype for the Street Fighter franchise. Riding on that hype was the movie Street Fighter:Legend of Chun-Li. Instead popularizing Street Fighter, this movie brought that hype crashing down.
A good live-action Street Fighter movie. That is the dream of many fans, but twice now have those dreams been dashed. The first time was back in 1994 when Jean-Claude Van Damme took the stage as Guile. The movie bad, but at least it was cheesy about it so kids could get enjoyment from it.
Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li is a bad movie, and to make it worse it was a serious movie. Kristin Kreuk, who is not a martial artist, leads the movie as Chun-Li. This is the second mistake of the movie, the first being not going strait to DVD. Kristin Kreuk is not a bad actress, but that is not the problem. She is playing Chun-Li, a martial artist, which Kreuk is not. This means wires, and mediocre fight scenes. A Street Fighter movie should not partake in wires and mediocre fight scenes.
Despite the vast amounts of bad this movie had, it did have a bit of good. Michael
Clarke Duncan is the only saving grace of Street Fighte: Legend of Chun-Li. He plays a great Balrog. Balrog is a pretty simple character. All Balrog does is punch people and act badass, and Duncan does both so well.
If you are looking for a good movie skip Street Fighter, and go strait for Watchmen. If you are slighty masochist then Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li is right up your alley
