Amazon.co.uk Review

Street Fighter Alpha is an animated film aimed less at admirers of the comic strip from which it derives than aficionados of the arcade computer game which is the best known embodiment of the material; as such, the narrative line is mostly an excuse for balletic fights in which eyes glare and sides of buildings fall off. Ryu is a brilliant young fighter worried that his technique may yet corrupt him into monstrousness; the boy Shun appears, claiming to be his brother and already well on the way to corruption by the technique known as the Dark Hadou. When Shun is kidnapped by an evil scientist, Ryu goes after him in spite of the possible cost to his own moral status; his friend Ken and Interpol agent Chen go along to help him, and if necessary to kill him to prevent his corruption. This is largely by-the-numbers martial arts anime, but at times exciting or beautiful for all of that; devotees of the game will love it.

On the DVD: The DVD is generously stacked with English and Japanese soundtracks and English subtitles. There are interviews with the artists, creators and voice actors, a making-of documentary and various trailers and previews. --Roz Kaveney

2.0 out of 5 stars AHHHHHHHHHHH!Nothing like the classic., 9 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Street Fighter Alpha - The Movie [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This film does have maybe one good fight and quite a well thought out story but it's boring as bollocks.I was so pleased when this was released because I thought it would follow the same sought of theme as the 1st video but it is know where near as entertaining.It also lacks the cooool metal soundtrack from the other film which brought the fights to life.I'm sorry if I spoil the story for you but you will ask the same question, WHY DOESN'T HE FIGHT AKUMA? It could potencially have been the best battle ever.

3.0 out of 5 stars a shocking failure to other manga films, 2 Feb 2003
Considering the Street Fighter series of arcade games offer little more than the chance to pick one of several computer characters in order to pummel another with the aid of some flashy graphics, an awful lot of time has been spent over the past decade creating stories about the characters featured in the games.
Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie, the supposed sequel to the Street Fighter II V series, hasn't actually been released on DVD over here, so we have absolutely no idea what's been happening in it. Apparently, the Alpha series takes place in an earlier time-frame than the original Street Fighter II movie, and the movie charts perennial favourite Ryu's attempt to resist the lure of the evil energies of the Dark Hadou (don't ask!) Out of nowhere comes a little brat who claims he's Ryu's younger brother, but before the two of them can bond, the child is kidnapped by the nasty Shadowlaw organisation, and Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li head off to save him from their clutches.
While the voice acting and animation in the series is on par, the entire movie is hamstrung by the fact that all anybody really wants to see the characters do is fight, making the film little more than 93min exercise in tedium as various ridiculously proportioned characters slug it out for no real reason, leaving no room for characterisation or logical plotting. If you're under the age of 16 or don't want too much from your anime this might be your cup of tea, but we'd rather have Akira or Perfect Blue any day.

Originally produced for Japan's home video market, the film is presented in its original 4:3 aspect ratio on this disc. The crisp, clean art style suits the format perfectly, looking more vibrant and alive than it ever did on VHS. However, as with much anime, the production does itself no favours by dropping in static backgrounds and static characters to save on time and expense wherever possible.

There are several sound options on this disc including a subtitled Pro-Logic Japanese language track and a Dolby Digital 5.1 English dub. There's not really much to choose between them, with only the occasional piece of effect placement really pointing out any differences between them.

Video interviews with nine cast members, the character designer and director, a 6min montage of scored behind the scenes footage, a trailer, various Manga Entertainment promo videos and weblinks, and for completists the original Japanese language end credits from the film.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dazed and Confused, 14 Aug 2001
Street Fighter II Alpha was a real let down for me. I remember seeing bits of the very first animated adventures of Streetfighter which were way better than this. Like many Manga movies Alpha suffers from poor editing, a good script and far, far too many long moments of built up excitement and nothing happening. Or something happens but is nothing like what you expect and is a real let down. This happened far too many times In Alpha and it became very tedious and tiresome.

One main reason why I bought this movie was for Akuma, who I think is one of the greatest video game characters ever created. In this he merely grunts and roars and there's no real story behind his intentions and his character. A real disappointment.

I didn't think Alpha was worth the money, but I shall still keep it in my collection just for the good extras on the disc and the very few good moments in the film. Particularly the fighting scenes with Ryu at the beginning, and dodging those bullets.
