bad movie? i beg to differ!
13 July 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I myself used to play street fighter when i was a young lad and actually picked chun li a lot. When i saw the film she did every move i used to and made me love the chun li all the more. The action is tight packet.

I admit some of the scenes are most certainly cheese but overall this was an impressing movie. I actually did not think I was going to like the film at all, I was forced to buy by my little sister, Im so glad that I bought because it really is an entertaining film. Were not expecting X-Men, Push, or TMNT, which by the way was a god awful movie. Were talking about Street Fighter!
