Review: Abosolutely Van Dame's best. Need I discuss the plot? No, the fact that Van Damme's in it would be enough if the movie did NOT have a story, but this one pits him against a warlord who wants to achieve total global Domination and wants [money] friggin' bucks for the release of hostages. This is one of the best action movies, and Martial Arts movies I've ever seen, but it's too bad there hasn't been a sequel.....yet.

Summary: Van Damme Cool
Review: After seeing THIS movie, I'm convinced that no movie based on video game will ever surpass this magnificent work of art. Van Damme is Guile, an "Allied Nations" commando (the U.N. threatened to sue if they were depicted in this movie) who is up against Ego-Manaical warlord General Bison (Raul Julia, who died shortly after production. The self proclaimed dictator of the (fictitous)nation of shadaloo, hellbent on ruling the world. He's also hell bent on being super rich, and has taken 63 hostages. He'll only swap 'em for $20 billion, and Guile is on the scene immediately. Martial Arts movies, video game movies, and even Van Damme movies are rarely this good. Your'e cheating yourself if you think it's not worth checking out. Trust me, it is.

Summary: Nothing Like the video games!
Review: Like my title says nothing like the video games! I thought its supposed to be about Ryu abd Ken! But no its about Bison and his team of bad guys trying to take over the world and Captin Guile has to take his army to stop him before time runs out. But Ryu and Ken are in the flim but look nothing like the video game. They are not the main characters! Other Street Fighters make it in to the movie like Cammy,Vega,Sagat,Blanka,Chun-Li,and more! There is no good special effects like Mortal Kombat but some good fight scenes are in the flim. To much talking which you should skip because they are BORING! They should remake this and make it better! I would reccomed Mortal Kombat movies. Have Fun!

Summary: It's not a total loss
Review: <Every year, a oscar-worthy movie comes along that renews our faith in the American spirit and makes us want to stand up for what we believe in.> This isn't one of them!
It's not the action sequences or the acting that bothered me. It was the plot; a military showdown between Col. Guile (Van Damme)and Gen. Bison (Raul Julia). Maybe if it were an actual street fighter tournament hosted by Bison, maybe it could've been better. It would certainly put Van Damme in his element. But like I said, it wasn't a total loss. The ziggers in the movie were hilarious, it had a popular cast and Raul Julia portrays a tryanical madman very well. If you have cable, you can see it on USA or the SCI-FI channel. Otherwise, I would skip this one. Oh, by the way, Ming-Na Wen from Mulan is in this movie.

Summary: [Bad] is too good a word for this piece of [poop]
Review: When I first saw the previews for this movie a while back I thought it might be good. Than I rented it and I was hoping to be right. I was wrong. DEAD WRONG!!! This movie literally ... Anyone who's given this movie 5 stars or even 4 stars are probably smoking the same stuff that the writers for this garbage were smoking. As pretty much everyone who is a hardcore fan of the video game know that this story revolves around the heros Ryu & Ken, not Guile. Van Damme hasnt done any good movies since "Timecop". It's a shame the late Raul Julia had to waste his talent on this movie. He must be rolling over in his grave. It was also nice to see the writers combine 2 characters into 1 (We get the delightful combination of "Charlie Nash" & Jimmy"Blanka" into "Charles Blanka", nice move guys. Blanka looked more like a reject from the "Incredible Hulk" series. The fight scenes were some of the lamest I've ever seen and the dialogue was even worst. If you wanna a "true" Street Fighter" movie just watch "Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie" and also check out "Street Fighter IIV" series. Avoid this movie at all cost.

Summary: Eh...
Review: I didn't even know there was a live action version of Street Fighter until I purchased Street Fighter 2 for PC, and this movie along with a computer gamepad was included "free" with the game. The gamepad was worth it, but the movie..well... free is still a little stiff.I give it two stars, and that's being generous. I admire the producers drive to want to make Street Fighter into a live action movie. I really do, but there were so many things wrong it with that I don't know where to even start.Well first of all (a bit of repetition ahead), everything was backwards. I can't even say backwards; they just stuck people in roles the producer wanted them. Ryu a hustler? Not hardly. And Vega hispanic instead of Spanish? Don't think so. They had a cast full of notable actors, but 1.) many of them were not suited for the role (first thought that comes to mind is Wes Studi -most notable for playing Geronimo- playing Sagat), and/or 2.) their true talent was suppressed (such as Ming-Na who played Chun Li). I don't want to continue with this rant because I know I'll end up spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it (as if I hadn't already). So to sum it all up, they had the potential and the actors (for some of the roles), but everything went downhill from there. I wouldn't recommend buying this movie, but if you're looking for something to humor you then this is it.

Summary: It barely lived up to what we were hoping for
Review: Street Fighter was one of those movies based on popular video games like Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil and Tomb Raider but the movie was 1.too cartoony (costumes look good in video games, stupid in real life), 2.Character profiles didn't fit (Balrog a good guy, Guile the hero and Dalsim as a scientist) and 3.the Bison base was a little cheesy, the Bison hover "Thing" and the stealth boat were so [unreal] and impossible but the movie was not bad but it wasn't good either. the only thing that bugs me about it is its price ...

Summary: Street Fighter
Review: This was the worst movie I've ever seen. STREET FIGHTER went above, beyond and totally backwards from the story lines of the series, and let's face it the cast did the series no justice. Let's start out with your basics on why you shouldn't see this movie. Jean Claude Van Damme is Guile, why?!?! I'm sorry but Guile is not a greasy, special army ranger guy with a Belgian accent. Guile is a little more simple than that, try just another Air Force recruit. The story is just completely off. Every story line in the Street Fighter series has been ignored and new very poorly thought out story lines have been made. That and no true martial artists (aside from Van Damme) were casted. Wes Studi as Sagat? Damian Chapa as Ken? Raul Julia (RIP) as Bison? Meng Na Wen as Chun Li? I think not. What does this all add up to? Poorly choreographed, very fake fight scenes that are over in a hit or 2. Not worth it at all. If you want to check out a good Street Fighter, check out STREET FIGHTER II the ANIMATED MOVIE. It's much better, stays to the storylines and the action is 50 times better than the action in this.
