This image, sends shivers down my spine… (read the RT reviews here)
Because it’s the first released film from Hollywood’s hottest young scribe Justin Marks, the writer who has gotten greenlights for a new MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, VOLTRON HACK/SLASH and the Green Arrow movie SUPER MAX.
Sure… it’s not just Marks’ fault this movie has failed so miserably, it’s a combination of everything. Since day one, we have pretty much torn the movie apart for bad creative decisions after bad creative decisions.
The biggest of course being to focus on the character of Chun Li and making it a Kristin Kreuk starring vehicle.
But from what I’ve heard… STREET FIGHTER has VERY LITTLE to do with the STREET FIGHTER video game franchise.
I.E… no tournaments, no fights on streets and only a handful of characters that carry barely any of the traits from the video game.
Which isn’t good news for those hoping for faithful adaptations of the other franchises Marks’ has written scripts for.

Hopefully this acts as a wake-up call to Marks before he screws up any other movies. Too optimistic?
When are they going to learn?!
As long as people make froth at the mouth to make excuses for the bastardization of properties like they did with Bayformers, and encourage people to see those movies we will always have studio chumps who look at EVERY property they adapt with contempt and instead want to change everything in it.
Guys..we saw this coming..I mean a movie about Chun Li, they should copy the Street Fighter Anime completely
Ummm…SuperMax has not been greenlit. Far from it.
Hahahahaha.
