1.5/5
"...the latest stop in Hollywood's endless and, thus far, futile quest to turn successful video games into equally popular movies."  ReviewExpress.com  A. J. Hakari

2/5
"This sloppy second attempt at bringing the Street Fighter franchise to the big screen...violates one of the primary rules for any Playstation to motion picture translation - never mess with the mythology."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

D
"I'll take Jean-Claude Van Damme and his powder blue beret any day over this insipid, clunky, and joyless motion picture."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

1.5/4
"...ultimately fares worse than its eye-rollingly campy 1994 predecessor..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

1.5/4
"Chun-Li narrates much of it, and the dialogue would be excruciating if it weren't laughable in the way she describes what is blatantly occurring on the screen. If nothing else, the movie is an ideal one for blind viewers."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

D+
"It's a cheerfully stupid endeavor, enlivened by some gnarly fights and endullened by all the talky stuff in between."  Film.com  Eric D. Snider

D+
"I much prefer the flamboyant badness of the '94 flick to the attractive, even-keeled mediocrity of this one. Jean-Claude Van Damme's stock just rose considerably."  AMCtv.com  Eugene Novikov

1.5/5
"There will never be a good video game movie no matter how many stars pop up to headline them."  Film Threat  Felix Vasquez Jr.

1.5/4
"It seems to work hard at not being fun..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

D-
"Devotees of the video game [would] do better to stay at home and twiddle their thumbs in front of a monitor."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/5
"Video game adaptation is violent, jarringly inept."  Common Sense Media  James Rocchi

3/10
"Street Fighter fans like me will be blissfully playing Street Fighter IV, with this movie occupying our minds as little more than a disposable curiosity."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Jeffrey Chen

1/5
"Devoid of a single redeeming feature, the motley flick is a hodge-podge of chop-socky cliches -- a ball of flaming, stinky martial arts chi."  Boxoffice Magazine  John P. McCarthy

1/5
"It's bad. It's really bad. It's Uwe Boll bad."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

1/4
"if there's anything legendary on display, it's the performance of co-star Chris Klein, which can only be described as epic in its awfulness."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

"What little plot exists here is of the embarrassingly shallow sort."  Cinematical  Nick Schager

1/5
"a.k.a "Black Belt Norah Jones""  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

.5/4
"Like a failed offspring sullying its family name, this laughable would-be diversion has only its digitally-based predecessors going for it."  Slant Magazine  Rob Humanick

D
"Even by the admittedly lowered standards of video game adaptations, the new Street Fighter movie stinks."  Mania.com  Rob Vaux

3/10
"Just a boring, bad action movie - which, to be fair, means that it's one of the best video game adaptations ever made."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
