Street Fighter Alpha

Pros: Animation was nice and Ken doesn't suck.
Cons: Oh where do I begin…

There are some things I never thought I’d say about an anime movie, but holy crap that was bad. If you’ve read any of the other reviews, then you might already have an idea as to what I’m going to say. But before I go on my rant, here are a ...

Pros: Animation looks ok. First 5 minutes after the opening.
Cons: Story, subtitles, plot, gratuitous crotch and butt shots galore.

I was walking around in my local purveyor of anime when I saw this DVD up on the shelves. I decided to give it a look, seeing as how the Street Fighter II anime wasn't half bad, and this one looked like it had better art, and Sakura was in it.

Pros: Smooth Animation, Good Adaptation of the Street Fighter Alpha Game
Cons: Capcom's Shameless attention to details(I'll explain in the review)

I have always been a fan of the Street Fighter videogame series. I was recently able to see the Street Fighter Animated Movie, which I thought was a very well done anime action film. It made the laughable Street Fighter movie look even worse. I was at...

Pros: Smart animation, nice music and a new Manga release for the UK fans
Cons: Storyline sucks, not enough characters, action ain't all that.

Well having loved the first Manga film, I was looking forward to watching this sequel. After 155min I can safely say this film pretty much sucked. I am not going to go into great detail over the plot but the whole film was pretty much a long drawn out...

Pros: Nice Picture Quality
Cons: Lack of Key characters, Remake of the SF2 Movie, More scene stealing the Rob Leifield

I first heard about this movie I was pretty excited, something different then the usual slew of clichéd anime and it was SF. Boy was I disappointed, and I saw it for free...hate to think if I had spent 25 - 30 beans on it. I should have realized that...

Pros: Really good animation
Cons: Contorted storyline, shallow characters

I saw Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie before I saw this, and I'm glad that I did. If I had seen this first, it would have put me off Manga for life.

The premise is the same - kick and punch your way to defeat the bad guy. But the story...

Pros: Animation, fight scenes.
Cons: The story.

I'm not plagiarizing, I'm simply agreeing with some of what Alkaiser spoke of when he said this:

“The plot makes no sense...it goes nowhere, and in the end it resolves nothing, but kills off Ryu's mystery brother. The animation is nice, but it's a complete waste because 75% of the movie is comprised of the characters powering up and just glowing.”

The movie could've been way better than this. The animation, fight scenes and voice acting is pretty good. Tis' the story that scarred this movie. Miscues are rampant. Miscues like the fact that that scientist guy doesn't look remotely familiar; he should've been left out. I guess they TRIED to make this a prequel to Street Fighter 2. Noble idea, but alas, questionable execution. This movie doesn't suck, but as a fan of the series, I can't help but to think that this movie doesn't live up to it's potential.

They should've focused on the fights. The early stages of the lovers quarrel between Ryu and Sagat would've been a start. Akuma's role was okay, but not as vital or instrumental as it could've been.

Pros: Action Action and did i say more action then u can shake a stick at
Cons: Nothing that awful or annoying cant think of anything i would change maybe more akuma

I brought this dvd after i saw the trailer and i didnt put my hopes to high. I was completely surprised by how good this anime is. I've seen the first one that came out 7-10 years ago i think and i loved that one to. That movie worked becuase it was still rooted or trying to keep everything semi-realistic.
This isnt some Matrix wanna be. But dont let mis-lead you there are some energy balls and 50foot head slams.

The Animation quality was great though-out and as your might have read in other reviews they do love the female figure we see alot or chun-li and sukra but nothin pornographic or lude.

Music was also pretty great in areas and above average thoughtout.

Warning if u dont love action and lots of it dont buy this.
If your looking for deep emotional story go elsewhere.

The story isnt horrible at all actual i though it was quite original and refreshing involing technology and fighting, computer and muscles.
