TV Guide Staff TV Guide Street Fighter II brings the characters to life in a compelling and dramatic manner, succeeding where its live-action American counterpart, Street Fighter, failed. Feb 13, 2023 Full Review Mark Bozon IGN Movies The fighting scenes were created with the help of legendary Japanese fighter Kazuyoshi Ishii, giving the battles a unique and realistic feel. Simply put, if you're a fan of the series and haven't seen the movie, you need to. Rated: 8/10 Feb 13, 2023 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Más Gamers One of the most faithful video game adaptations to date. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/4 Aug 16, 2016 Full Review Felix Gonzalez Jr. DVD Review ... although this won't challenge your intelligence, this film stands head and shoulders above the live-action, Jean-Claude Van Damme fiasco.
