Ok, I bought this movie with the intention of sitting down and enjoying my $35++ worth DVD entertainment. I was not completely disappointed, but this story is missing huge parts and is at times very random. Like, the director had a selection of screen shots and gave a scene generator some LSD. I am going to list 5 great points and 5 awful points. GREAT 1) The animation was really cool. I haven't seen any of the other street fighter flicks, but I have seen much animation and this is better than acceptable. 2) I liked how they attempted to develop the characters somewhat. 3) Ryu and Ken were both likeable. 4) I liked the whole aura Ryu had about him. For example, when he was walking around the mountains or whatever in the beginning and the leaves by his feet seemed to move around him. 5) I liked the whole inner-battle aspect of what Ryu was going through. Although it was over-emotionalized.
AWFUL 1) What's up with them dissing Ken like he couldn't fight? I was soooo disappointed when he fought and gave his all and didn't even dismantle that dude. That was really lame. 2) What's up with all the cameras focusing on chun li's breasts, butt, and pubic area? Like, she would be talking and the screen would be fixed on one of the above forementioned areas. Geez. I mean, if you're going to be sexual in anime don't be all subliminal and perverse about it. 3) What's up with the retarded laughing villian scientist? Dragonball Z's enemies are at least entertaining. This guy was just a laughing emotionless twit. I couldn't stand it. I had to fast forward through his laughing.
4) Where was half the characters?? 5) Why was there so much bad plot involvement and no fighting?? I wanted some cheering bone snapping action with wicked emotions and fists flying, not some lame wannabe philosophical karate saga.
