The Legend of Chun Li

[PWN3R]

The problem with P:WZ was that it could have been great(especially in regards to being a Punisher film not just a film)but they decided to make it cheesy at parts. If they would have taken all the cheese out and replaced it with a more serious tone like half the movie already had it wouldn't have been trashed on as badly.

"See you in hell, Frank." <---worst Latino accent ever recorded on film by the way, awesome
"If I see you anywhere near Hell, I'll kick your ass out."

You can go back in this thread, but I told you so.

No one is going to see a Chun Li movie starring Kristin Kreuk.

Stupidest way possible to even attempt re-booting Street Fighter.

Hell, most off us said 'I told you so'.

But according to certain people, saying so is being 'retroactively righteous' and is something to be frowned upon.

 

[Figs]

Yes.

A ton of us (hell, most of us) on here saw the signs and voiced our opinions. We started off optimistic but that optimism was slowly eroded as more details of the production became known.

But yeah, you're right, we totally guessed that this film was going to be rubbish.

Anyways, I doubt I'd actually have posted what I did had the "Hey, why not wait until it comes out before you hate on it?" brigade been posting on this thread.

Sadly, their space was filled by the ''You're all just fanboys and haters'' lobby. That kinda thing can get a guys back up and make them act in 'retroactively righteous and justified' manner.

Given that we've actually been found to be right and justified, it's only natural.

You should give up this fight Brian Braddock, just look on over at the Wolverine thread.

There are fans that still actually believe what they did to Deadpool will be rectified by the end of the film or in his own solo film. There are people that even when shown how bad things are they turn a blind eye to it.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Perhaps you're right there, Figs.

I've said my piece anyways.

 

[Bishop2]

I guess I wasn't here for that. I don't know the whole story. So I'll back out of it.

For now I must share this quote from a review that made me laugh out loud:

Add this to the list of hilariously awful movie entrances: Interpol agent Charlie Nash (Chris Klein, sneering constantly), sent to investigate organized crime or something, gets out of his rap music-blasting car in slo-mo, checks out his new partner&#8217;s (Moon Bloodgood) impressive figure and moans, &#8220;I looooooooove this job.&#8221; Slick, dude.

By the way, apparently Bison's "front company" for Shadaloo in this movie is named "Esperanto." Is that seriously an in-joke for the first Street Fighter film, in which the Shadaloo Anthem was sung in Esperanto, the official language of Bison? Because if so... awesome.

That was such an entertaining listen. Crap, I think I'm going to see this.

What did they do to Deadpool?

It was the worst accent in film history. I couldn't stop laughing because it was so unreal.

 

[zeptron]

I just have one question is Maya supposed to be C.Viper?

This is AN AWESOME REVIEW. People, listen to it! It's so funny!

 

[Raiden]

Here's another awful review that confirms this movie is a dud. Here's an excerpt of the review:

But the worst that “Street Fighter” has to offer (apart from Josie Ho’s brief but terrible impersonation of a lesbian) is Chris Klein as the hard-bitten Nash. Klein tries hard to give this cop some tough-guy swagger and seen-it-all cynicism, but none of it plays realistically. I can’t remember the last time I watched an actor fail to walk into a room convincingly, but Klein does it. Look for a YouTube montage of his “Street Fighter” performance to pop up any day now.

 

[PWN3R]

It was the worst accent in film history. I couldn't stop laughing because it was so unreal.

I really wish I could have been on the set to understand how and why everyone involved actually let him do that voice.

Definitely an achievement.

Here is another from the same review:

Kreuk, from TV’s “Smallville,” has all the presence of the shampoo model she really is, allowing her to be outdone by some rotten acting of epic proportions

ouch.

 

[Dark Helmet]

Someone should get Christian Bale in his Terminator Rant voice to act out some of these reviews

LMAO

 

[Figs]

I just got done listening to that review from spill.com.

They mention the Director of this ****ed up another video game film in the past.

I looked him up and didn't realize he also directed Doom. What I don't get is, how can you go from that film to this?

Say what you want about Doom being unfaithful to the games, it still wasn't that bad of a horror/action film. Yeah it could have been much better in regards to being a video game film. If the game never existed though, I personally felt it was alright as just a horror/action flick. Street Fighter looks like a step if not two down from that...how does that happen???

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I found Doom ok at best. It's one of the better video game movies.

 

[Dark Helmet]

What I don't get is how can you go from Speed (The First One) to Doom & then this

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm tired of Hollywood white washing every single movie. I'm glad that Spill review talked about that.

The movie was never going to make a lot of money, why didn't they just hire a fully asian actress?

Maybe there was a contest at the studio to do a movie & see how many career's they can kill in one movie

It's mostly Fox $%@&ing up AVP-R, X3, Chun Li, Fantastic four etc WB seem to do the best when doing adaptations-Watcmen, Dark knight, Harry Potter etc

 

[Mike_D202]

What did they do to Deadpool?

They just gave him retractable blades Baraka style. Personally I don't see the problem but whatever.

Add this to the list of hilariously awful movie entrances: Interpol agent Charlie Nash (Chris Klein, sneering constantly), sent to investigate organized crime or something, gets out of his rap music-blasting car in slo-mo, checks out his new partner’s (Moon Bloodgood) impressive figure and moans, “I looooooooove this job.” Slick, dude.

bwhahahahahahah

 

[Mike_D202]

Did anyone here actually watch it yet?

My theatre didn't even get it

 

[Figs]

As well as stitch up his mouth(this is loudmouth Deadpool we're talking about) and instead of giving him his suit they gave him tattooed red markings on his chest and face that mimic what his suit looks like.

Sorry but I can't stand when they do drastic changes for no significant reason.

What I don't get is how can you go from Speed (The First One) to Doom & then this

He didn't direct Speed though, just a director of photography.

I don't think we are getting it either
