Street Fighter Movie Review - TVMR055

Street Fighter is the third live-action feature-length film based on the Street Fighter video game series by Capcom. Directed by Kitao Sakurai and written by Sakurai and T. J. Fixman. **BUDGET:** - Production budget of 82 million dollars. - The film would need to make around 205 million dollars to head towards profitability. - No Chinese launch at this time. **SETTINGS:** - Metrolao City is a dystopian, dark, and violent location where the tournament takes place. - I thought the bleak storyline paired well with the often dark location. **CHARACTERS:** - Noah Centineo - Ken Masters - Andrew Koji - Ryu - Callina Liang - Chun-Li - David Dastmalchian - M. Bison - Andrew Schulz - Dan Hibiki - Roman Reigns - Akuma - Cody Rhodes - Guile - Jason Momoa - Blanka - Eric André - Don Sauvage - 50 Cent - Balrog - Orville Peck - Vega - Hirooki Goto - E. Honda - Vidyut Jammwal - Dhalsim - Olivier Richters - Zangief - Kyle Mooney - Marvin **HITS:** - The moves from the game are implemented perfectly - Ken destroying the car - Most of the casting is excellent - They nailed the look of almost every character - The humor is cranked up to 11 - The two hour runtime flies by with solid pacing - This is a Gen X fever dream **MISSES:** - They skip important scenes (Guile vs Vega) - The story is ludicrous - There’s no actual tournament - Blanka is either a hit or an absolute miss (no middle ground) - M. Bison is a terrible casting - I think there’s a disconnect with generations not named Gen-X or Millennials - Add in a couple of young characters and feature them in the promotion - Set the movie in modern day **CHECK OUT MY NEW SHOW CALLED:** Low-Budget Movie Reviews LINK: https://feeds.captivate.fm/low-budget-movie-reviews/ **MOVIE SCORE: 6/10** **DIRECTION:** C **WRITING:** D **CINEMATOGRAPHY:** B **POST PRODUCTION:** (score/sfx/edit/color grade) B **REWATCHABILITY:** A
