A look at the horrible Street Fighter movie adaptation (Jason Momoa as Blanka?? LOL)

Yeah looks pretty bad.
I don't really have an issue with Jason Momoa as Blanka aside from the uncanny valley CGI look.
David Dastmalchian as M.Bison though still seems like incredibly bad casting.
 
"On the contrary, I mourn. I was hoping to face Guile personally on the battlefield. One gentleman warrior to another, in respectful combat... then I would snap his spine. Ah! The road not taken! But why? Why do they still call me a warlord? And MAD?! All I want to do is to create the perfect genetic soldier. Not for power. Not for evil. But for good! Carlos Blanca will be the first of many, they shall march out of my laboratory and sweep away every adversary, every creed, every NATION! Until the very planet is in the loving grip... of the Pax Bisonica. Then peace will reign in the world, and all humanity shall bow to me in loving gratitude..."

(From memory)

Eh, are we looking at the same clip? That was awesome. The yellow lightning with the x-ray effect, the cannonball, the two-leg kick. Blanka doing all the signature moves he does in the game.

Looks like dumb fun and that's totally okay.

Better to rewatch the originals, I didnt even bother with any of the new MK movies, the first one looked like shit without any humor, the second one the CGI looks so bad it makes the OG movie look good.

The CGI is actually pretty good for the most part. The fights themselves are smartly done and well choreographed.

Also, Kano is great in the films. Easily my favorite character.
 
I think it's going to be really fun and the best live action adaptation. But obviously not as good as the first anime adaptation.

I get it.

It just all looks completely low budget, most shit filmed in front of a green screen it looks like too.

Which makes it look cheap and fucking lame

Im just tired of these weak ass movies and videogames

I wish we were getting a shitty video game adaptation of this shitty movie lol

There's a certain charm to those:

That said, I'll watch this movie. I can eat at nice restaurants, but sometimes I just want Domino's Pizza.
 
From a purely execution/technical standpoint I think the sequence is well done. The sfx are grounded, the practical effects are good as well and the in game call backs (crouching HK and shocking skeleton effect) are great.

Now the premise is ludicrous…it would never take Ryu that long to throw a regular fireball!
