I'm always interested in hearing how a movie plays for people who know the source, especially in the case of video game movies (since I've never played them). I actually had to re-read my own review to refresh my memory of the film, validating my prediction that it wouldn't stick in my memory for long. Thanks for the comment!

Kreuk is a little pretty, but resembles Chun Li in just about zero ways. Duncan was a good Balrog, though the likable McDonough did not cut it as the evil ultra powerful Bison. The promise of this movie was not equaled by the result sadly. Here is our take on it with lots of pics and a few bits if wit if you are interested: http://fortresstakes.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/street-fighter-the-legend-of-chun-li-2009/ Yeah, it is not terrible, more like made-for-TV.

Their markets, slums, and streets have become familiar, or dramatically unfamiliar, to us through fine camera work and edgy editing. Wherever this film was shot, it also fails in its inability to capture its purported setting. The recent Nicholas Cage film showed how to do Thailand right, this poorly paced quickie does not.
