4.0 out of 5 stars Street Fighter II - Animate it! 22 April 2003
Format:DVD
Fighting games rarely have a plot, so Capcom had to jack one together quickly. M. Bison and his jerks want to take over the world, and Ryu and Ken have to stop them. I get the feeling that half-an-hour of decent plot was forgotten about.

The animation, on the other hand, is excellent, and the only problem is that all the way through the film, muscles are emphasised hugely.

It seems that Capcom tried to include all the characters from the games, even the ones that no-one gives a dog's toss about. Unfortunately, they come in for a two minute scrap and one or two lines, and are never seen again. What you need to pay attention to are the four main characters - Ryu, Ken, Guile and Chun Li.

While SF2 might seem like a must for kiddy fans of the game, you parents had better think twice. In the unedited version, there are vast amounts of blood, and Chun Li is shown having a shower, before fighting Vega half-naked. There is also a lot of hard-core swearing, not just the mild stuff that your kids learnt off you.
There's a lot of opportunities to read between the lines in SF2. Ryu and Ken have constant flashbacks about each other, and I get this constant feeling that Guile and Chun Li have something going together - partly because he doesn't run her over, partly because he nearly cries when he thinks she's dead, and partly because of that huge hug she gives him in hospital.
Still, to the fans of Manga, anime and SF2, if you don't mind the adult content and thin plot, this is a must-buy.

Format:DVD
This is new release of a classic anime movie , includes the Japanese version which was previously unavailable in the UK.

This disc includes two discs, the English dubbed version on Disc 1 and the Japanese audio version with English subtitles on Disc 2.

Both versions have different background music , so loyal fans might enjoy watching both versions as the different soundtracks produce different emotions throughout this movie.

The western track is more aggressive and adreniline pumped .... while the Japanese track is more subtle and beautiful/artful.

The accuracy of the subtitles themselves seem abit iffy / don't seem too accuarate ..... but it a small imperfection that can be overlooked , in this impressive set.

The colour quality of both versions seems to slightly differ from one another too. ( The english disc seems to have a darker/stronger tint to it ..... while the japanese disc has a paler/clearer tint )

Anyway about the movie itself :

Along with the awful Hollywood Movie , there are also a bunch of streetfighter animes / anime movies besides this ..... but I personally think this is the only one really worth watching. ( It also seems to be the most faithful adaption in accordance to the games )

It has great cel and animation quality ( Not the bright and colourful palette you expect from typical anime ... the colours are more real/pale ) , along with a great soundtrack.

It has amazing chreography when it comes to fight scenes.
Plotwise , not much can be said really , except it's based on a fighting game , so what can you expect ?

But it's worth watching just for the fights.

My rating is mainly for people who enjoyed playing Street Fighter alot in their youth and want to see a movie that does it justice.

Add a star if you are a huge Streetfighter fan though ( All your favourite characters come to life , blood and all! ) or take away a Star if you have no interest in Streetfighter.

Either way it's a solid title that's still a satisfying fight ( animated ) movie to watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars SONIC BOOM! 8 Mar 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This film is awsome, its the only street fighter film worth watching. Im not sure what goes through some peoples minds when they decide to make films of games, books etc and go off on their own little tangent as if they know what people want to see like the french actor masquerading as an american but with a french accent Van Dame! street fighter live action movie was awful! and the new Chun li film isnt to good from what ive heard.

However this film is awesome it actually stays true to the source material and has a brilliant but simple story. The Character roster is great all your faves are in there somewhere and Ry and Ken are actually the stars!! if your a street fighter fan this is a must!
