Good start, but then it gets ruined

Absolutely Fantastic

A lot of fun.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I liked the game. I had good memories of the game. This movie however has ruined the cognitive object in my mind that is Street Fighter, and destroyed it forever. I can't believe the number of people here giving this disaster any form of positive review. It went on and on and on. I felt like I had been sucked into a vortex where time no longer had any meaning. I feel like I have literally been trolled by the creators of this movie, for 2 and a half hours. It wasn't immediately obvious that this was the case. It sucks you in and holds and then disappoints you beyond belief. The punchline however was when the credits finally come up and you are left thinking "what in the actual *expletive removed*!".Where was the ending? What happened to the big bad guy in the mountain? Wasn't the first 2 hours all about the inevitable fight with his brother? Why was the ending the two students going on holiday ? It's like the writers are saying "HAHAHAHA NOW YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE SEQUEL".Not me. Not this critic. I would rather battle with registration on this website, laboriously fathom the changing of my display name to Ghey Ken, and pontificate for the next hour, than waste another moment of my life being trolled by Hollywood.Furthermore, where the hell was Chun Lee ? What's the point of making a Street Figther movie if you aren't going to have the spinning bird kick. It would have been more realistic also, if the movie had stopped half way through and pretended to crash, tricking me into taking the disc out and blowing on it a few times.In conclusion, this movie is a joke. They are trolling you especially when u pay for it. Don't let them ruin your childhood memories by tricking you into watching this junk. Ken was cool. This guy needs his mommy and a hair brush. And as for balls of magic Chi whizzing thought the air, it worked better in the game. I almost turned it off the first time it happened in the movie. I wish had.Trust me, this review is far better than the movie. Thank you for reading it to the end, but save yourselves. Don't make the same mistake with this movie.

If you like martial arts and video games, then there is no excuse not to watch this. It's a Street Fighter non-cartoon that is actually good, yes really! I'm a gamer, and Street Fighter is one of my favorites so I may be a little biased. But I have been burned in the past, so I typically avoid movies that aren't a sure thing. Still I heard good things about this, finally bought it for my 7 year old who is crazy about Street Fighter, and I was very much pleasantly surprised. It even caught the attention of my wife and she stopped what she was doing to watch half of it... that's right my wife who has never sat through an entire movie while at home, ever, much less 5 minutes of a martial arts flick! This is very much the story of Ryu and Ken, Akuma and Gouken. It is very Japanese, in that it's set entirely(?) in Japan and has a fair bit of Japanese dialog. The older Japanese actors and the young lady are what made it for me... they were quite convincing. The other guys did a fine job as well. The fighting was more than respectable, and you could tell these guys knew what they were doing. The effects are not Hollywood, but they are not emphasized much and the other aspects of the movie make up for it.

I never thought the trailers were serious. Well I didn't think that could be an actual movie. And yet I serendipitously watched this series today, and I can assure you that this is a great series.Possibly the best adaptation that I have seen so far ! The art, the technique, the philosophy, the cast, the story, everything came out perfectly. It evens surpasses the fan's expectations.The series begins slowly, we don't care about the introduction of the character, and fine, because there is none. The martial art approach was well thought out. From climax to final battle I was glued on my seat watching this.This series is so good, there is no word to explain it further, just watch and enjoy!

"Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" was allegedly supposed to be THE movie for the "Street Fighter" franchise. I can't claim to have had any expectations to this, given the previous movies.But this 2014 really is the icing on the cake. It was abysmal on so many levels. The storyline was just a mess, and there was no real coherency in it, and I must admit that I dozed off more than once throughout this movie, and ended up getting up and leaving, not finishing the movie.The characters in the movie were adequate, but wow it was so hard to take Ken seriously with that hair. He looked like he had a really bad wig attached to his head.The fighting was adequate, but there wasn't much of it. Which otherwise would have added a bit more to the movie.The Van Damme "Street Fighter" movie was at least more spoofy, so it was more enjoyable to watch because it was so out there. And the "Legend of Chun-Li" was at least a step in the right direction, but not really great.For a martial arts movie based on a video game, "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" was a snoozefest on a grand scale, and it failed to entertain me on any level. As such, I give it a mere 1 out of 10 stars.
