movie review - Street Fighter II

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.02.04

I suspect that you have to be a fan of the game to get this film. It takes the characters from the game and wraps them in a simple plot of good vs. evil. Middling animation.

Not recommended.

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
