What to Know

Critics Consensus

The combination of a shallow plot and miscast performers renders Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li a perfectly forgettable video game adaptation.

Drew Toal Time Out This painful background tale of the schoolgirl master of the really slow fireball attack almost makes one yearn for the days of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Perri Nemiroff CinemaBlend Trades in vital game info to squeeze in as much acrobatics and fighting sequences as possible. Bartkowiak shouldn't have taken the first part of the title so literally. Rated: 1/5 Aug 14, 2010 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle The Legend of Chun-Li is as vapid and dull as it is. Rated: 0/4 Mar 5, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The strange part of this movie is, there isn’t much street fighting. Most of the characters use firearms, and they fight in the street only on occasion. [...] Perhaps the producers forgot the title of the movie. Rated: 0/4 Dec 2, 2023 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk Wooden acting, poor special effects and zero fight choreography, plus this film is SOMEHOW an even worse adaptation of its source material than the first film. Avoid! Rated: 1/5 Jul 8, 2020 Full Review Scott Beggs Film School Rejects Can I please stop thinking about this movie now? Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
