Ploydsge just watch it!

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

davish_wulf-1 I heard about this TV series by chance, when browsing for reviews on SF5 for consoles.After getting my hands on the movie version of the series, i started watching the movie in a "relaxed" way, not expecting too much from anything.I was impressed from the first fighting scene to the end. The movie depicts the Street Fighter spirit and atmosphere brilliantly and from the casting, the wardrobe, the amazing fights, well used effects, wonderful landscape and HD image, it was a feast to my eyes and kept me entertained for 2 hours in a row, begging for more.Never heard of Christian Howard, but he was the perfect choice for Ken. I would say the looks are somewhere on the SF Alpha version of Ken, with long hair and ponytail. The guy has the looks, the physique (humanly possible of course), the moves and the charisma of Ken. I felt like i was seeing one of my favorite characters being played in a live movie.Mike Moh as Ryu, on the other hand, was harder to grow on me, perhaps because there is a notorious discrepancy on physique between the 2 of them, other than that, he was a faithful Ryu, obsessed with getting better and better on fighting, while maintaining the DO spirit all the way. If he would "bulk up" a bit more, would be perfect (perhaps on the sequel). His face and fighting style fits the role perfectly.Story begins with our 2 famous fighters battling near a lake, followed by a flashback on the story and all begins from there. I'm sure the budget was a bit low for the movie, but it doesn't show one bit.Although the movie develops in a small environment, it is so well scripted, that you feel you're in a SF game. The flashbacks gives us a rich character development in the movie, in a very well staged back an forward story. Comedy and drama were put in all the right places and i loved the old-man on the lake, always teasing Ken, but don't want to be a spoiler.I don't know how good are the martial artists in the movie, what kind of experience they have in martial arts (i have to research on it), but every move, every fighting scene is a visual feast. You can feel the impact when they land a kick, with an excellent camera-work and edition, this is how fight scenes should be shot, independently if it is a realistic fight or not, after all, this is a game-based movie.Acting wise you can't expect Shakespeare here, like you can't expect that type of acting in a horror movie... it's a game movie and if you keep an open mind, like when you play a game or see a Manga movie, you will enjoy this movie even more than for the acting skills. In fact the acting skills fit the movie perfectly for what it is and no "DeNiro" performance would surpass anyone here in this type of role.Akira Koieyama, as Gôken - another surprise, this guy has the Samurai feeling of a "Toshiro Mifune", with the Japanese accent strongly rooted in his brute English, what a charismatic figure and actor, one of the best here. Another excel role was the one from Togo Igawa (Gôtetsu), who i already had seen on Last Samurai, he also was great, giving that "Akira Kurosawa" feeling to every scene he was on.Joey Ansah's "Akuma" was a pleasant surprise, they managed to give the character the background and looks of the games, an impressive fighter that was in the center of our story, perhaps my favorite part of the script.All in all, if you are a SF fan, specially of characters like Ryu, Ken and Akuma, go and see this somewhere, it is simply put, the best Street Fighter movie ever made.I can't wait to see the sequel, meanwhile, i will just boot up my console and play SF while watching the movie again.I sure hope that if Hollywood makes a SF movie, looks upon this guys and casts every single actor in here to the role they deserve, cause they sure well deserve it.

alwaysplanb I never heard of this mini series before. I was browsing through the channels one day and suddenly came on to this on Star Movies. Initially I thought it to be yet another Street Fighter Wannabe. 10 minutes into the movie and I was glued. I couldn't stop the movie. The movie ended at 2 in the night and I had an important interview at 10 next day. I knew I had to sleep early but just couldn't stop the movie. It was so damn interesting. In fact, the only Street Fighters movie that's so interesting.The hope the sequel is just as tight; and focus more on story and live action. Not some unwanted CGI. The reason I'm worried is because the producers might raise the budget, ask for unwanted CGI, and interfere with the story. This is the case with most sequels. Hope they read this and let the director work his way.Highly recommended for all Street Fighters Fans.

David Martin As a fan of Street Fighter and King of Fighters, I was amazed while watching this movies.I can only hope that they could do the same for the King of Fighters, because no adaptation has ever given this game the credits it deserves.I think the fans will enjoy this series, because they will not feel that the story is disconnect like in other failed adaptations.Everything is in the game's story, so there is really no need to change it at all. This series has perfectly shot combat scenes. The moves are not ridiculous at all when it comes to fire balls and seppukyakus etc.I really recommend this series if you want to enjoyed what could have been the story of Ryuu and Ken Masters in the game.
