Low budget, but extremely captivating & enjoyable
The only thing keeping me from giving this movie a 10/10 is its low budget effects, and also I did not like the actor for Ryu. His acting and fighting moves were a bit underwhelming. It needed to be more sharp and dynamic, like Ken. The actor for Ken was perfect. Also, Gouken's accent is too deep and hard to understand sometimes.. (but his overall acting is good), I'd prefer it if he just spoke Japanese through the whole movie though.Other than that, I loved the drama and humor in this movie. A lot of great scenes that SF fans like myself love to see (ie: Ryu's theme played by flute, Akuma's final fight scene, reference to Dan in the dojo, etc.) And, surprisingly, a lot of very powerful, emotional moments in this movie... completely unexpected.
This film gets an 8.5 rating from me, because it's one of the best video game adaptations I've ever seen. I gave it a 9 in my review though, because there was no option for 8.5, and I didn't want to give it an 8. ^_^
score 9/10
