Not really that good of this movie
What I loved most: Chun Li is pretty
What I really hated: the cast and outfit of all characters
all i can say is that chun li is pretty only in this movie.......but the real character should be a chinese instead of a mixed......if the storyline and outfits to match with the real animation, this movie or so will make a lot of fans......but too bad, americans always can't make good movies in terms of street fighter.

What I loved most: A movie about Chun Li
What I really hated: Chris Klein's bizarre performance
I love the fact that they decided to make a movie about a character from SF. Although people are complaining about why Chun Li doesn't look like in the original game (her dress, her hair, etc), but that doesn't really bother me. What bothers me is Chris Klein's acting in this movie. He used to be good and funny in his previous movies, but in this one is just...pure weirdness!

What I loved most: Kristin Kreuk
Very watchable and entertaining movie. Watch it for entertainment and ignore all the inconsistencies in the story. I did not expect to enjoy the show but at the end I was disappointed it did not last longer.

They went ahead anyway, with mixed results. While the movie can be fun in patches and it has higher production values than the other predecessor one could think of (Hong Kong's own 1993 rendition featuring Andy Lau as Balrog and Jacky Cheung as Guile), "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" is interesting enough for gamers and general audiences alike but predictably misses the cinema oomph needed to make it a classic or a guilty pleasure. American critics didn't get a press preview, so count yourself lucky you're reading an account of the film here.
Here's what they did - they took Kristin Kreuk out of Smallville and made her Chinese with some pretty buns, calling her Chun-Li, the angry, wushu-trained daughter of a kidnapped businessman. Enter spectral badasses like M. Bison (Neal Mcdonough in a business suit instead of the signature 'dictator's suit'), Balrog (Michael Clarke Duncan having a lot of fun) and Vega (played by that freaky long-haired guy who sings for Black Eyed Peas).
For gamers, these portrayals ought to disappoint a little, especially the inconsequential Vega who doesn't live up to his video game notoriety. For general audiences, it can be fun watching the exotic Kreuk do some stunts on her own, especially when she's aided by an overacting Chris Klein as Charlie Nash and the sexy Moon Bloodgood who gets to play a Thai cop who runs around the police department in sexy outfits. Robin Shou who plays Liu Kang in "Mortal Kombat" gets the sifu part, teaching Kreuk how to master her Qigong Palm super move while pretending not to be interested in her sexually.
Not much for a plot, really.
It's a Street Fighter movie, fellas. You get what you pay for, although character development is largely ignored. You also get to see Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick, so all isn't wasted. They also inserted some mention of Japanese fighter Ryu near the end, so I guess this isn't the last we see of the Street Fighters. Let's hope the bad guys do more damage then.
