Street Fighter review roundup: sorry, folks, but it sounds like a mess
The general consensus seems to be that Street Fighter isn't a disaster, but it definitely misses a lot more than it hits.
Despite high hopes for the Street Fighter movie, the critical consensus paints a rather unimpressive picture. IGN gave it a 6/10, calling the story too thin to support its large cast of characters. The Guardian rated it 2/5, acknowledging the performances as likeable but criticizing the movie's constant self-awareness of its silliness.
Collider awarded it 6/10, noting that the movie shines during the high-octane fights and animated sequences, but suffers from excessive exposition and unengaging character drama. ScreenRant praised the film's "go for broke" tone and fight scenes, but ultimately deemed it a flawed movie. ScreenCrush found the movie fun for about 30 minutes, while The Hollywood Reporter described it as an action-packed, hyper-stylized, and borderline nonsensical fever dream.
Overall, the reviews suggest that while there are some entertaining aspects to the film, it ultimately falls short of being a cohesive and satisfying adaptation of the Street Fighter franchise.
