Metareview - Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (Movie)<http://feeds.joystiq.com/%7Er/weblogsinc/joystiq/%7E3/1_HTI8W47Tg/>from Joystiq<https://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.joystiq.com%2Fweblogsinc%2Fjoystiq>by Xav de Matos <http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/street_fighter_the_legend_of_chun_li/> If at first you don't succeed ... fail, fail again. That must have been the mantra during filming of *Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li<http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Street--Fighter-The-Legend-of-Chun-Li/> *, staring Canadian sweetheart Kristin Kreuk. Can anyone even feign surprise that the latest *Street Fighter* flick is a train wreck? It isn't easy following up a classic, and by that we of course mean *Street Fighter: The Movie* <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111301/>, staring the Muscles from Brussels, Jean-Claude Van Damme <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avXsM2n2oqg>. Yes, we said classic. It was one of the greatest unintentional comedies of our generation.
- AMCtv.com<http://blogs.amctv.com/scifi-scanner/2009/02/street-fighter-review.php>: "I much prefer the flamboyant badness of the '94 flick to the attractive, even-keeled mediocrity of this one. Jean-Claude Van Damme's stock just rose considerably." - WJFK-FM (CBS Radio)<http://www.bdkreviews.com/recent.php#street_fighter_chunli> *(-5/5)*: "As a fan of the video game series, I can honestly say that this is hands down one of the worst films I have ever seen. Chris Klein is so bad that he made the movie a comedy." - IGN Movies <http://movies.ign.com/articles/957/957633p1.html> *(1.5/5)*: "It may not be as gaudy or goofy as its predecessor, but it's far more boring and banal. It's a videogame adaptation that loses sight of what made the game popular to begin with: it was fun." -- Q Groucho Marx - "I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it."
