The legendary Chun Li

Went out with my cuz and a few frens to watch Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li tonite. Didnt put much hope on seeing a good movie anyway and i wasnt disappointed with my assessment. It reeked and badly. Not even halfway thru i was restless, wishing the end wud come quickly and swiftly. But the movie is not gonna make things easy for me as i suspected. It dragged its miserable self slowly, oozing feces-like from what ever depth of the lowest level of hell that it came out off. It was so bad it made Van Damme's street fighter seemed good.

If i knew its gonna be bad why watch it in the 1st place u might ask. Well thats a very good question indeed. In anticipation for Watchmen, we tot of watching filler movies before we get to see it this coming thursday and Street Fighter was available. I believe since audience nowadays are getting smarter and smarter, we wont be served with the kinda shit that we watched in the 80's and 90's. The likes of Mario Bros, Double Dragons to name a few. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! We still get stuff like SF and Uwe Boll's In The Name Of The King.

Granted adaptation of video games into movies hasnt been really successful. Unlike its cousin comicbook movie. Although Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil i wud call a success not a great one, but still it works. How many ways can u make a good movie from a fighting video game. Are u gonna go down the path of DOA just show lots and lots of booty and hope everybody doesnt notice how bad the movie was, or you gonna do it like Mortal Kombat staying true to the storyline like in the game which leaves nothing much to the plot but making fan boys of the series happy.

SF tried to do an original story, which doesnt stay true to the SF universe. U got an Irish Bison who is a bad ass...He is so bad ass that in his youth he steals a basket full of fish from fisherman becos he can. The Movie is shot mainly in bangkok and do we get to see Sagat, NO. Vega is a wuss, u get to see him in a coupla times and in when u get to see him in action he gets his ass kick so very easily by Chun Li. Theres so many unrequired scenes, no continuity, well the more u disect the movie the more it crumbles and thus list goes on and on.

Still am wondering whats so legendary about Chun Li. Well like they say u can only move on up from here. Heres hoping to an awesome movie this coming thursday. Who watches the watchmen? We definitely are with great anticipation.
