StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Claudio Carvalho Yesterday I saw "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" on DVD with my wife and two friends and two of us have taken a nap along the movie. We all find it very boring with tedious story and screenplay. There are two parallel similar stories of Ken, Riy and their master Gôken in the present days and young Gôken, Gôki and their master Gôtetsu in the 50's while learning to fight "Ansatsuken" with different conclusions.Reading IMDb Ihave just found that "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" is indeed a TV Mini- Series. Based on the IMDb User Rating, it seems that out opinion it might be based on a problem with the compilation. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Street Fighter: Punho Assassino" ("Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist")

smilegel I am inclined to believe all the 8-10star ratings are fake since it seems to be those people only reviewed this movie and nothing else. I watched the whole thing and I just can't give more than 3. The story is very primitive and narrow. The Nsync boy band fighters are a good laugh in the beginning until it becomes boring. Fighting scenes are OK at the most and perhaps fit the people who like those Chinese movies with flying monks, magic and other fake stuff. To me, it looked very fake. Everything from fighting scenes to the magical stuff perhaps can fit kids,but as an adult I can't force myself to take it all serious in any way or form. Acting is not very good at all. This is one of the main reason I was surprised to hear from those allegedly fake reviewers how they liked the acting as acting was pretty bad. Same goes for directing and of course the camera work - all what you'd expect from a very low budget movie.

Darnin Kaizen I am 36 years old, since the age of 8 or 9 years old I love Street Fighter. I'm good at playing Street Fighter in my town ding dong. I also love martial arts and studied several martial arts. I thank you finally someone who can make a story in a comic martial arts into a great movie once without losing any detail. It is a video game that lifted the film to the best movies I've ever seen. Thank you for making the film as good as this, hopefully in the future will be a lot of people who can make a film that is the origin story of the video game to a movie as good as this movie. Once again thank you. Greetings from Indonesia.

deadsenator I enjoy martial arts movies of all ilk, so perhaps you should know that.I see reviews for this film at both extremes. Folks gushing seemingly uncontrollably about it and others condemning it completely. I have no dog in this fight. As of this writing, there are 3,146 voters rating this film at 8.4. I will state that there are many fabulous and fantastic films out there done to much higher standards that are currently ranked lower than this film. This is no insult to this film, as it was done with limited resources, but eight point four seems a bit high for the quality we have here. I will certainly give it a solid six.I think fans of the genre are the ones most likely to see this film, so the high rating is understandable in that regard. Furthermore, it was aired initially as a webisode. I sort of stumbled on the movie and decided to watch it despite my no great attachment to the Street Fighter genre. I played the game back in the day, but that's about it. I had a rudimentary understanding of who the prime characters were, but had to learn the others. Fortunately, there are few. This film employed simple locations and scenery, and it all felt right except for a powerline swath of trees going up one hillside that kept showing up in shots. It dragged me away from their world if but only for a moment. A distraction.Otherwise, the production value seemed decent and I settled in to watched it. I actually found the acting and writing a bit rough at first blush. It had a thinner, made for teevee feel (crude dialog excepted), but perhaps it was more of a mini-series quality since it also runs so long (2hr20min). I decided to take the roughness as 'quaint' and some of the dialog as 'real-world' and that made it work for me, but I wondered about the director. So I looked up the details and learned that this was an independent "work of love" project by the young director/actors/writers/martial artists Joey Ansah and Christian Howard, who are also fans of the genre. Well, that sort of explains that then. Still getting his director legs under himself seems plausible, but his passion for the story pushes it along. The writing seemed rough at times, but flowed fine elsewhere. There was an unevenness, but I feel their enthusiasm added a positive element to the film and I like that. It allows me to look past its rough edges and we're getting a richer back story because of it. No, that doesn't fix the acting or the cringes in some odd scenes, but the characters were done well enough and I was engaged with all of them, even our nemesis. It would be impossible for me to pick apart any of the details of the story as I have not followed the genre, but I enjoyed the story well enough.Only one other reviewer I read complained about this next item: the ending. ***This could be considered a spoiler***, so you can stop reading now if you deeply care, but I am sure someday I will understand why the film sort of just petered out. I was missing the traditional climax culminating from the struggle between the characters. There was some very good tension built up in that struggle and then there was none of the expected satisfaction. I was not frustrated, but instead disappointed. I would watch a sequel of the same making (same film style) and perhaps that is the intent. I don't know. It may have been a singular work of love. Should a second 'episode' get funded, I would expect better from Ansah and Howard and I would suppose they could do it.Fans of the genre will love it while fans of martial arts movies should like it as I did, too. Fans of movies will have to decide for themselves.
