Street Fighter: The Legend of the Disappointment

Countless people will tell you stories of hurrying to the movie theater in their adolescence, eager to see the movie adaptation of their favorite video game series: Street Fighter. Almost unanimously (myself excluded), the feeling of joy and excitement turned to bitterness and disappointment. It’s no surprise that despite the pretty decent marketing campaign, the new movie that came out in 2009 didn’t surprise anyone when it didn’t do so well. Little hint to Capcom: Usually when you refuse to do a critics screener, everyone knows it’s because the movie is bad and you don’t want bad reviews before the movie comes out. Now I watched this originally in the plane on my way to Evo last year. I had the choice between Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li and Watchmen and to put myself in the mood for a Street Fighter tournament I chose the former. Big mistake. Not because Street Fighter is all that terrible, mostly because Watchmen is THAT AWESOME. I watched it and found it bad but recently I’ve bought it again in the recent light of KoF, I figured I’d give it another go (hint: In comparison, it really ain’t that bad!). Here we go once more!

Nice Response!

I gotta say, I’m impressed. I never thought my little KoF review would go so far. Since people want to see more and there’s no shitty video game movies coming out soon, I’ll be going back to Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li and Dead or Alive. Expect one this week and the other one soon after.

If you have any movie requests, go ahead and let me know.

KoF Destroys What You Used to Think was Rock Bottom

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I said Tekken wasn’t that terribly bad? Well I wish I could say the same about King of Fighters. The movie came out on dvd earlier this week and I had to go though it. I submitted myself to all 92 painful minutes of it’s existence.  I’ve come out different, jaded, cynical. This movie is awful. I mean it is fucking bad. It’s terrible. It’s terribawful. I told people that I’d buy the Tekken Dvd in the bargain bin, this piece of shit isn’t even worth the bandwidth you would use if you were a dirty dirty Pirate. I can’t say it’s the worst movie of all time because I haven’t seen DragonBall Evolution yet but I would rather watch Jumper.

I know the SNK community is quite adamant in their hatred of all things Capcom but seriously, this is even worse than Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.  And you know what I did? I watched it twice. In the same day.

That’s right. I watched it twice yesterday. Once for the novelty and the second time for the same of grabbing screenshots to post on here. I’m hoping my Valnotes will convince you not to get it and will save you the time and mental anguish of watching the current King of Turds.
