Street Fighter Reviews
Street Fighter doesn’t exactly scream quality entertainment. However, there is just something stylishly bad about the whole farrago.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 27, 2022
This is probably one of the worst things I have ever seen. Even as a kid, I thought it was bad. I never want to watch this again.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 6, 2022
This was painful to watch. All of the "storylines" felt incredibly forced, the cinematography was not handled well and everyone just seemed miserable.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 6, 2022
There's not much that's worthwhile in this endless cacophony of gunfire, explosions, grunts, yelps, maniacal laughter, and Jean-Claude Van Damme's tortured syntax.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 18, 2021
For a product of its time - a decade full of video game-inspired stinkers - it's worth looking back on, especially because it's obvious how much fun the cast is having.

Raul Julia... is the reason that this is a memorable triumph of campy, kitschy, ironically lovable cinema, and not just an unlikable, boring farrago of an action movie.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 8, 2020
Offensive and annoying.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 9, 2020
It literally shreds the source material in favour of a Van Damme-centric war movie, but I can't bring myself to hate it... mostly for Bison's cheese-tastic lines...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 10, 2019
As for Jean-Claude, it's a tough stretch for him to play a figurine from an arcade game but, why, he almost manages to be convincing.

With Van Damme giving one of his most wooden performances, and de Souza failing to capitalize on his graceful fight moves, Street Fighter adds up to the worst of a bad crop of Christmas movies, a picture only an arcade junkie could cheer.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Apr 25, 2019
While de Souza's arrested development makes him a likely suspect to adapt a video game for movies, the result (like The Super Mario Brothers movie before it) is an empty exercise in hyper-stimulation. Or, to put it bluntly, a complete waste of time.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Apr 25, 2019
De Souza's wit, which gave his earlier action scripts a tart edge, has failed him here. He pitches this entire movie at the sub-literate set that, with glassy eyes, unthinkingly pumps quarter after quarter into video games.

This is [Steven E. de Souza's] directorial debut, and while it shows promise, it is uneven. The film is way too choppy, and as a result we never get a chance to know the characters (except Bison).
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 25, 2019
It's too bad that the late Raul Julia had to finish his career with this dreck.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 25, 2019
Street Fighter overdoses quickly. Though 95 minutes long, it feels tired after one hour. And this is true despite second and third tiers of characters who have their own agendas.
| Apr 25, 2019
One of the best things that can be said about Street Fighter is that it's not nearly as bad as it could've been.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 25, 2019
The film is based on the popular video game and plays as a pathetically incoherent attempt to accommodate all the characters kids want to see come to life on the big screen.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 24, 2019
There's very little to get excited about in this laughably bad action adventure.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 24, 2019
Even knowing what a mess Street Fighter is, I will defend it to the end of time all for what Raul Julia brought to the film.

It assaults the ears and the intellect.
