It's not the best movie to date but I watched it anyway. Yes, you guessed it. Kristin Kreuk was there. I was hooked with this chick since smallville and snow white. Enough with the chit chat. The movie started with Chun-Li as a kid and was taught how to be a great concert pianist and at the same time martial arts by his father. Until one night, Bison, with the help of Balrog, kidnapped Chun-Li's father for unknown reasons and fast forward Chun-Li is now a well known pianist her mother is now sickly and a strange letter arrives for her. She then travels to Bangkok to find Gen. On the flip side Charlie Nash is hot on the trail of Bison and ends up also in Bangkok since triad leaders are found dead, killed by Vega. Chun-Li's trained by Gen, paths crossed, trouble ensues, final battle with Chun-Li and Bison and of course Chun-Li wins.Like I said before, movie was not that great. It was like a B-movie much like the previous live-action Street Fighter flicks (e.g. the one with JCVD) but this one is a notch higher and has a more serious tone unlike the campy old ones. This movie also deviated from the original storyline of the Character. Bison killed Chun-Li's father prior to joining the tournament and she joined the tournament to kill/get revenge on Bison not prior.
Anyways, i'd still place it as a B-rated movie because it has that vibe. If it wasn't for Kristin Kreuk i'd probably rate this lower. Props to Michael Clark Duncan he fit the role of Balrog (minus the gold tooth and weird haircut ala Mike Tyson). hahaha!!
