Origins aren't horrible ./
Street Fighter: Legend Of Chun-Li
First of, you would never compare this film to the original street fighter where plot is utter crap. Legend of Chun-Li although has been criticized by many, i felt that the story was really good and acting weren't as bad apart from the detective being pretty cheesy. I must say Edmund Chen did a great job with his badass fighting skills. I give him a 9/10, i mean at his age 40+ and moving like a fox is no mean feat. There were many surprising elements in the movie for example Taboo from the black eye peas acted as the Vega the masked clawed fighter. His fight with Chun Li made me giggle abit as she went on criticizing about his face after being stripped off his mask. The irony of being a rap band and looking good haha. Although this may be a good film, do not expect something of a Wolverine Origin kinda action. This film is more towards learning how to harness skills to perfection whereby Wolverine just claw his way through the whole 2 hrs. What makes Legend of Chun-Li an attraction would be Kristin Kreuk, haven't seen that face since Smallville hah. Had my attention on her for some time till she got too overrated and moved on to Allison Mack whom acted as Chloe Sullivan in Smallville as well. I guess Legend Of Chun-Li revived that attention for Kristin Kreuk as i felt her character as Chun-Li gave a good blend and mixture into the character. I mean she has real fighting skills she articulates like she has transformer joints ( only those with transformer toys would understand haha ) great job anyways. Nevertheless, this movie was worth watching and paying and i definitely hope for the sequel :D.
