Here are some of the review highlights.
The Onion AV Club:
The problems with Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li began with the casting of dead-eyed, sleepy-voiced, charisma-impaired automaton Kristin Kreuk.
MSNBC:
I canât remember the last time I watched an actor fail to walk into a room convincingly, but Chris Klein does it. Look for a YouTube montage of his Street Fighter performance to pop up any day now.
Entertainment Weekly:
Donât be fooled by the low grade: This sequel-in-spirit to Jean-Claude Van Dammeâs 1994 dud doesnât even succeed in being memorably bad.
On a related note, howâd it do at the box office? About as well. Despite opening on 1136 screens, it only made $4.65 million, meaning every theatre that screened the movie only pulled in an average of $4,093.
Oh dear. Ah well, look on the bright side, Capcom. The Lost Planet movie canât be any worse!
