The Skinny: A young woman named Chun-Li (Kristin Kreuk) travels to Bangkok to seek revenge for the death of her father because…that's what a mysterious scroll told her to do. She totally sucks at fighting, but then this dude comes and goes, 'Hey, I'll teach you how to fight!' and then…does. Li uses her newfound fireball-making ability to exact revenge on a baddie named Bison. Yeah, it was awesome.
The Good: Black Eyed Peas' Taboo, playing Vega, gets his ass kicked. We were just happy to see that happen. There are also considerably less annoying Street Fighter characters than the original train wreck. We're not sure how good that is, but it's better than bad, right?
The Bad: Really, truly, everything. But what do you expect from the director of the equally-laughable video game adaptation Doom, and three movies starring DMX (Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 the Grave)? Anchoring the marginal acting are horribly written and even more horribly delivered 'tough-guy' lines that'll make you cringe like someone cut one in the theater. And, then there are the chi fireballs, which make only three appearances and look like spinning globs of glowing tumbleweed.It's Street Fighter-at least attempt to get the fireballs correct.
