This movie isn't bad, in fact it is the best video game adapted movie I've ever seen, and easily one of my top five favorite movies. Period.
I agree that Guile should have been played by an American (or at least somebody who didn't have such a thick European accent), and that some of the characters aren't portrayed well, but come on! The acting was good, not great, but good. The lines weren't cheesy (they are some of the best movie quotes I've ever heard, actually) and the story wasn't bad.
How could you even criticize this movie? What did they have to go on? Street Fighter II didn't leave them with much of a story, have you ever considered that?
In response to psycho_path's review, there is Hadouken (when Ryu is fighting Vega), their is Sonic Kick (when Guile is fighting Bison he does it like three times), there is Sonic Boom (when Guile throw his boot knife at the man who was trying to raise the alarm), as well as Shoryuken.
Okay, so maybe Guile didn't yell "Sonic Boom!" when he threw the knife, but how stupid would that be?
You say it has cheesy lines, but you think it would be cool if the characters announced when they were doing something? Really?
I'll admit that some of the fighting isn't very convincing, but that's not enough to give it a 1 star review!
Serious, man, W. T. F?
So, back off haters! This movie is gold!
