I semi-enjoyed Andrzej Bartkowiak last film, Doom. While Doom is no cinematic masterpiece, I consider it the best video game to film adaptation ever.
Even saying that though, the film still isn't all that great.
But Street Fighter Legend of Chun-Li is really awful.
Direction is badly done. I'm no director and Andrzej Bartkowiak clearly has more talent that I do, but really, even the average movie watcher will spot z-grade direction.
The film contains some Street Fighter characters, but the plot is made out of thin air, not from the games.
The film is also terribly cast. Neal McDonough is the worst Bison ever.
I watched the old Van Damme film 2 weeks before Chun-Li, and sadly, the Van Damme version is better. I can't believe I'm saying that. But it's true.
And the fact that it was in theatres for only a week tells you what kind of movie it is.
