Media Type: DVD

The origin story of the characters from Capcom’s popular Street Fighter video game is detailed in The Legend of Chun-Li, a live-action martial arts thriller from Doom helmer Andrzej Bartkowiak. Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk gives a spirited turn in the title role, a concert pianist turned global crime fighter who cracks her share of heads while in pursuit of the mobsters who have kidnapped her father. Neal McDonough and Michael Clarke Duncan glower effectively as Bison, the nefarious mastermind behind the abduction, and his henchman, Balrog, respectively. The film’s offbeat cast, which includes Chris Klein and Moon Bloodgood as detectives, Black Eyed Peas singer Taboo as the claw-wielding Vega, and Hong Kong stars Pei-pei Cheng, Josie Ho and Edmund Chen in supporting roles, is the most inspired element of the film, which relies too often on well-worn action and kung fu movie clichés to fill out moments between fight sequences; the film’s target audience--fans of the game--may find this less engaging than younger, less discerning moviegoers with a yen for any flavor of punch-up. --Paul Gaita

To further clarify my assertion of bad writing, the story introduces all sorts of potentially interesting tidbits that could be stories of their own, and then rushes through them. Predictably though, these tidbits end up being used later in the story without any real reason to use them. For example, Chun Li goes through intense training (meditation) in order to be able to gather chi/ki energy into a visible cloud that she can then throw at an opponent. They make a big deal about how she has to let go of her anger to accomplish it. And then in the big climactic fight, she's beating the tar out of the bad guy (Bison). Then comes a point where's staggered, and Chun Li's trainer yells out "you know what you have to do!" Of course she hits Bison with the chi/ki blast and he goes tumbling off a building. But this big special attack she spent so much time working on doesn't finish the job. Instead, she jumps off the building to use some other "Street Fighter" attack to snap Bison's neck. So that powerful chi blast thta you spent half the movie setting up was really pretty crappy?
Don't get me started on the lines. The worst lines come from the police officers that they focus on in parts of the movie. I'll leave it at that, and let you decide for yourself when you watch it.
Which implies I think you might want to watch it. I did give the movie 3 stars. There's some fun stuff to watch in there, and the special effects are decent. Also, Kristin Kreuk is beautiful... so I had to bump up the rating some for that.
The way this movie turned out is a Chun-Li fan's dream, IMO. It left me satisfied, at least. Once again... if you are true Street Fighter fan... pull yourself away from the video game world for just a little bit, and remember the remarkable stories behind each and every unique character we love so much. That's a BIG reason why I enjoyed the game, at least. Every character had a wonderfully unique story and journey they were embarking upon while they were after Bison's head.
A dream come true for me would be a movie/legend made for EVERY Street Fighter character (at least the characters from Street Fighter II). Anywho... this movie entertained me from beginning to end, and I enjoyed the realism of it tremendously. I really didn't expect too much from it, either, even as a huge Chun-Li fan. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, and EXTREMELY glad that I ignored all the negative reviews. Do the same thing. Decide for YOURSELF.
How many of you are familiar with the actual storyline from the Street Fighter games? IT'S RIDICULOUS. The official Capcom Street Fighter story is filled with green mutants, people coming back from the dead, men who wrestle bears, levitating crime lords in bright red clown suits, and two men (that's right TWO) who can stretch their arms and legs a good 10 - 20 feet.
Stuff like this simply cannot be translated to live action very well. I'm sorry, it just can't. For this reason, I can respect their decision to approach this movie in a more realistic way, unlike the first live action SF movie featuring Van Damme...rest assured, this movie is much more reasonable than that one.
Once you accept the fact that this is an ADAPTATION of the Street Fighter STORY and not an IMITATION of the GAME, you will probably enjoy this movie much more.
It's your typical action flick. If you dig those, you can dig this one, too.
Especially if you can appreciate strong female leads, which are too rare in the martial art/action genre. Kreuk plays Chun as respectable and tough...cute, but not "over-sexified". A fine balance.
Bison is an enjoyable villain.
Nash is hilarious. If you don't take him (or yourself) too seriously, you will laugh at him at least once.
And, is that...Crimson Viper? Hmm...check out the bonus features to find out...
Bottom line: Don't strain your brain too hard. It's a martial arts/action film based on the SF franchise. It's not Gone With the Wind. It's not Titanic. Relax people and let yourself enjoy.

B-Movie .. recomended mostly for Street Fighter fans.
Yes it's not a great masterpiece etc - it is what it is and i love it for that.
If you are interested in watching a puny guy in a shirt and tie with no psycho powers pretending to be "Bison" you may get some enjoyment out of this but Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist is a billion times better!
