...ultimately fares worse than its eye-rollingly campy 1994 predecessor...
Aug 4, 2009
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.
Jul 1, 2009
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.
Jun 29, 2009
No mojo in its dojo.
Apr 30, 2009
Singularly witless.
Apr 7, 2009
Quite simply an embarrassment that cannot crawl into ignoble obscurity fast enough.
Mar 18, 2009
There will never be a good video game movie no matter how many stars pop up to headline them.
Mar 10, 2009
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.
Mar 8, 2009
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.
Mar 6, 2009
Just a boring, bad action movie - which, to be fair, means that it's one of the best video game adaptations ever made.
Mar 5, 2009
The Legend of Chun-Li is as vapid and dull as it is.
Mar 5, 2009
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.
Mar 5, 2009
Top CriticA long slog with little payoff.
Mar 5, 2009
Top CriticThis 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.
Mar 4, 2009
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.
Mar 4, 2009
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.
Mar 4, 2009
It seems to work hard at not being fun...
