Street Fighter II brings the characters to life in a compelling and dramatic manner, succeeding where its live-action American counterpart, Street Fighter, failed.

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

... although this won't challenge your intelligence, this film stands head and shoulders above the live-action, Jean-Claude Van Damme fiasco.

Based upon the popular fighting game Street Fighter II, the animated movie certainly stays faithful to the source material, even though there are some areas that could had done with a bit work in terms of character building.
