Street Fighter : The Legend of Chun Li

waaaaa.... last nite we all go for midnite movie... and we decide to watch Street Fighter : The Legend of Chun Li... the promotion is quite strong... so, i think it might be a good movie... well, i'm wrong...

it tells the story of how Chun Li become a fighter... starts from her father abduction by Bison... and he move forward, going to Bangkok, seeking for Gen, then become a good fighter, revenge her father and killing Bison (which is useless anyway, because he is always immortal... resurrection is his common things... )

emotion involved when her father who is captured is killed by Bison in front of her... but, i like the words that Bison used... "Your father is the milk of my business, but even milks have its expiration date" or sumthing like that... the cast play their roles quite good... however, the stunts, CGI and special effects is too obvious... and the way they display Chun Li's original helicopter stunt skill is a good efforts to preserve the originality of Street Fighter series, but i'm not impressed with the effects used... obviously, the guy is somehow dropped by strong winds from Chun Li's rotation kicks (which is obviously not the things that happen originally) not because of the leg is hitting the opponents...

my comment, if u r not a fan of Street Fighter series... dont go watch this movie... not worth it... very weak ending, very bad effects... fighting Bison is not that hard... like my friend said, "antar PDRM pn lepas camni...." and Thai have a special team called S.W.A.T??? yeah, i know they have a special force team, but i dont think they called it S.W.A.T??? yeah, the team that come with Maya at the harbour is Thai SWAT team... their jeeps got SWAT sticker on the windshield... and they're definitely not from US with Maya since they speak Thai with Maya...

i would even dare to rate this movie 2 star out of 5... but since they narrate the story of Chun-Li in good manner, I'll give them 3 out of 5...

what? dragonball??? the only reason aku nk tgk dragonball adalah aku nk tgk setakat mane cite tu jd jahanam... tgk trailer je, mane2 peminat dragonball kecewa gile babeng... character design byk lari xikut citer, jalan cite xtau la... then ape kes goku omputih??? datuk kamen xbotak??? xde kura2 tu kire xpe la, tp xbotak????

kecewa... mgkn my expectation is unrealistic (nk tegakkan rambut goku, pikor warna hijau?) but if they can't achieve that, shouldn't make a teaser poster with such things...

the other reason to wait for this movie... maybe to look for humor... rs2 kalo nk cari originality, da out separuh da...
