Um, ha. I couldn't help but notice someone in the comments point out that, without the title (in Sailor Moon font and style, no less), you would have no idea what this movie is about.

I guess they are going for darker and grittier?

This is going to be painful.

All of the heroines I loved as a girl are getting the shit end of the movie stick. Kristin Kreuk? She looks like a waifish girl. Chun-Li looks like a woman, and she has a strong, powerful physique. Kristin Kreuk looks like something Chun-Li would sneeze into a tissue.

If you're going to defy all logic and adapt Street Fighter yet again, why would you strip it of everything that makes it iconic and recognizable?

"Legend" of Chun-Li my ass.

Haha, true. The casting is retarded at best. It sucks that whoever decided on Kristin Kruek didn't realize there might actually exist girls who admire Chun Li. :P I mean sure, attractiveness is important, but dammit pick someone who actually HAS a physique. There aren't enough protein shakes in the world to help Kristin Kruek.

I haven't seen the original Street Fighter movie, but I've seen photos of Ming Na as Chun Li. At least she had muscle, and looked like she could handle herself in a fight.

Obviously they want this movie to FAIL.
