Summary: Wants to be entertaining, not violent
Review: Aside from Jean Claude van Damme's traditionally wooden performance, this movie is quite entertaining - that's because it is planned as a funny spoof of fighting movies rather than a cruel beat'em up. This is also what the game on which it is based was originally all about - fun rather than violence, parody rather than blood. Unfortunately, the movie attracted mainly people who expected cruel, violent massacre and were angry not to see it - an audience obviously not high enough to see and appreciate dozens of little jokes scattered throughout the movie (there are some, which are quite obvious - such as the parody of Japanese monster movies from the 1950s - and others, which require a more careful look - such as the lovely scene with the drawing - a parody showing Bison as Hitler, with a similar "creative" ambition and similarly ridiculous results!). The script was apparently too good for those who expected more of a violent, nonsensical fight such as "Mortal Kombat the Movie". However, unlike any other "fighting" films, this one you might show to your kids and people who dislike "fighter" films - that is because Street Fighter is a harmless fighting comedy, without hectolitres of fake blood and without those boring and crude sexual references, rather than a violent fighting action feature.

Summary: What the heck?
Review: I remember watching this when it first came out, I was maybe 6 or 7 at the time. Because of my obsession to the award winning video game, I rented the movie. I brought it home and I watched, I thought it was the BEST movie in the world. A few days ago, I remembered back to this movie, and I remembered how much I had loved it as a kid, so I went and bought it. Unfortunaltly when I watched it, my reaction was VERY different from the one I had six years ago. I probably enjoyed the movie so much at the time because I was young and I didn't know how to critique movies. Well, now, six years later, this is my opinion, if you want a true blue authentic Street Fighter movie, go rent, or even buy, Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie. Or even better, buy the unedited Japanese version with English subtitle. I don't even think this "live-action" version of the movie deserved a 1 star rating, maybe a .05.

Summary: Braindead action film.
Review: Why can't film producers realise that if you want to make a film based on a video game you have to alter the video game aspects slightly to fit a film format. Non-stop action is fine if you're playing a 'Street-Fighter' arcade machine, but it doesn't make for a thrilling film.The wafer-thin plot involves maniac M.Bison holding hostages and demanding a lot of ransom money. So it's up to a lot of cardboard cut-outs with muscle to battle their way to the rescue. What this means is a lot of fighting and action with barely two words of dialogue. Will you recognize any of the characters from the video games in this film? You probably won't, as they look nothing like them. The pathetic attempt to bring Blanka to the movie screen is especially laughable. A total waste of time, though at least it's marginally better than that trashy animated abomination which is 'Sonic the Hedgehog:The Movie'.

Review: How the hell can they even make a movie this bad,didnt they read the script first! This is like one of the worst movies ever.Only "Turbulence" was worse movie than this one.This has absolutely nothing,bad huomour,bad effects,bad acting etc. dammit this was a really bad send off for a good actor like Raul Julia,he would have deserved much more... Only some of the Vietnam refrences were pretty good...

Summary: 2 hours of your life that you'll never get back
Review: Could you possibly find worse acting or a more shallow, cliche plot! It all started with Van Damme being Guile...a character who is supposed to be a stereotypical American, but has an Austrian accent in this movie. The movie is full of bad acting, a bad mismatch between the chosen actors and the SF characters (except for Zangief, who looked pretty accurate), and an immature plot. If you want to watch something other than golf to help you fall asleep on Sunday afternoon, get this movie.

Summary: It Rules
Review: So I was just going through my reviews and I discovered, to my shock, that I had given this movie two stars! Several people, in fact almost all of you, will disagree with my rating. Yes it's cheesy and stuff but it's still my favourite video game movie. It's funny too (stupid funny and funny funny).

Summary: S-T-U-P-I-D
Review: Is it just me or is all the video game turned movies among the worst ever made? After the success of the games, maybe they could have afforded better writers who didn't smoke illegal substances all the time.
