Saw it... and I have thoughts:
Where do I start:
It sucked... but it didn't suck. It's not a so bad It's good movie. Technically speaking is more faithful to the lore and at the same time it isn't.
The movie goes into the overarching Bison wants Ryu's Satsui no Hadou story than purely SF2.
We got Guile's Theme, Ryu's theme, and The Character select theme... We got the He-Man song...
A few times during the movie.
Mr. Dalmatianchan did a decent job with Bison... He is no Raúl Juliá, but was way better than Neil McDonough.
Also, he did the thing:
There's a reference to the Chun Li Shower scene from the Animated SF movie...Guile's car is based on the Animated movie... I don't think they referenced the animated series... but there's some images from Super SFII Turbo recreated in the movie.
The plot starts with Animated SF1 flashbacks with Sagat being animated.
The movie is a love letter to Street Fighter slightly Hollywoodized.
The toys already spoiled Evil Ryu...
I Hated the Ending... but overall, I enjoyed the movie... Guile doesn't do much... but Cody Rhodes was a million times better than JCVD.
This new Chun Li was decent, but I prefer Ming Na... I prefer Kylie Minogue's Cammy over the new one...
It's on par with 1994... though I prefer 94 a bit more. I will probably see it again... not as many times as He-Man, but I will buy it physical.
