Opinion: fans think that Street Fighter movie has a ridiculously strange ‘cast and could not agree more
The secrets do not last long in the sand: Street Fighter is now in production. On theaters October 16, 2026. The tournament begins! #Streefightermovie pic.twitter.com/hhdkl39i5hSeptember 4, 2025
Only a surface stem of Google or social networks is needed to see that people are not better satisfied with the Street fighter The official explosion of the film on the scene. The map above is not the same as the one we see in the games, some of the aforementioned characters have emerged from nothing, and the general vibrations of casting are dramatically turned off.
“They used the wrong world map,” a fan replied to the news on X/Twitter, with a second aggregate: “They are not even characterized as the characters, they are only normal photos of the actors.”
In Reddit, feedback is even more scathing. “This is a ridiculously strange cast,” writes a fan, while another complains: “absolute garbage.”
But it is my new best friend todowwanderer who succinctly summarizes the little Street fighter He has in his favor. “I do not doubt that the cast can offer solid actions, but my main concerns lie in the direction and the script,” the Redditor wrote. No actor can save a film that is badly written or poorly directed. Of course, people can enjoy parts of a defective movie, but at the end of the day, a bad movie is still a bad movie.
“Since this is another adaptation of video games, the probabilities statistically are not in their favor. What they really need to nail is the balance between the silly and exaggerated environment for which Street Fighter is known and the serious moments that make a convincing film.”
I can almost listen to Momoa rubbing his hands in joy after A Minecraft movie He made so much money, so what is an adaptation of video games to his credit? Maybe there is a universe in which to act with 50 cents makes sense, but unless the images can be a faithful and intelligent adaptation that is underway, I am out.
