Street Fighter movie is a huge disappointment

This post is not really related to my cause of educating the masses of the plight of BAM, but it does speak towards Asians in general so I thought I would take a little time to talk about it.

This past weekend, I saw the new Street Fighter movie starring Kristen Kreuk.

I was excited since it was Street Fighter and it was Kristen Kreuk(she is super hot). The first 10 minutes of the movie was a sign of how bad this movie was going to be. Maybe it's just me, but Street Fighter is about martial arts and action. It's about fight scenes with over-the-top moves that only a video game franchise like Street Fighter could think up.

Needless to say, that is not what this movie is about. Instead of focusing on what the Street Fighter franchise is known for, they decided to make this movie about the personal growth of a young girl into a woman. In other words, they made this movie into a chick flick.

Don't get me wrong, no woman in the right mind would classify it as such, but if you really look at the direction and the message, it is undoubtedly the worst attempt to synergize two polar opposite genres.

The two groups that suffer here is obviously the fans and Kristen Kreuk. Kristen Kreuk will now be labeled as a bad actress and yada yada yada and not get any real movie roles. I think in that respect, the fans lose out twice.

On a side note, Chris Klein, famous for the line "Call me Nova....CasaNova" from American pie, was the single worst thing to happen in this movie. Trust me.

All in all, the original Street Fighter movie was better...yes I mean the one with JCVD as Guile and yes it pains me to say it.
