    No no no no no, all Street fighter movies should be banned outright, it hurts too much.

    > We've all been looking forward to the film version of the epic Halo

    You presume too much, sir.

    I think I'am the only person in the world who liked the street fighter / mortal kombat films ( I mean I'll admit there a bit corny but I love them :D )

    ^^^ you are for the SF film! :D

    I'm sorry but that was beyond awful.. and not so cliched awful that it became "good". It was awful in all ways possible. :wallbash:

    The only sort of SF "movies" should be anime/manga which has been, and are almost always excellent to watch. SF should never have been live-action -- it will never ever work.

    the MK movies, while bad, we're still watchable, although Chris Lambert made Raiden sound like a complete pansy. They should have had elements of John Carpenter's "Big Trouble in Little China" in there, i.e., the Storm Brothers. Now *there* was a perfect Raiden... :)

    i cant think of many films of games that were brilliant, i think resident eveil is alright. and final fantasy the spirits within, but that one is more because of the cgi than the story.

    in fact on another note, not a huge amount of games about films are stunning either. maybe the 2 should stay apart

    Yes, Street Fighter is one of the worst films of all time.
    To make another one is just (there are no words to describe).

    Its just unbelievably bad. Soo soo sad that it was Raul Julia's last film...

    The problem comes from the adaption of the artform, movies are passive, games are interactive, it's that simple.

    Shouldn't that read: On the flopside... :D

    Frankly I had no hopes for the Halo movie either.

    It seems to me that the better the game the worse the movie (anyone remember Wing Commander?)

    The old Street Fighter movie was awful, but it did have Ming Na Wen looking very yummy as Chun Li, so it kind of evened out for me :b
