...ultimately fares worse than its eye-rollingly campy 1994 predecessor...

Street Fighter fans like me will be blissfully playing Street Fighter IV, with this movie occupying our minds as little more than a disposable curiosity.

This sloppy second attempt at bringing the Street Fighter franchise to the big screen...violates one of the primary rules for any Playstation to motion picture translation - never mess with the mythology.

Quite simply an embarrassment that cannot crawl into ignoble obscurity fast enough.

There will never be a good video game movie no matter how many stars pop up to headline them.

if there's anything legendary on display, it's the performance of co-star Chris Klein, which can only be described as epic in its awfulness.

Devoid of a single redeeming feature, the motley flick is a hodge-podge of chop-socky cliches -- a ball of flaming, stinky martial arts chi.

Just a boring, bad action movie - which, to be fair, means that it's one of the best video game adaptations ever made.

The Legend of Chun-Li is as vapid and dull as it is.

Proving that there's no statute of limitations on lousy ideas, director Andrzej Bartkowiak�s attempted franchise expansion returns to the Capcom motherlode that produced the worst movie in the entire Jean-Claude Van Damme filmography.

This painful background tale of the schoolgirl master of the really slow fireball attack almost makes one yearn for the days of Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Generic action sequences, bad acting, cringe-inducing dialogue and a miscast leading lady all combine for a thoroughly painful hour and a half at the movies.

Not only is this a strong early contender for worst film of the year, it could well be a candidate for the worst film ever made.
