Chun Li was the daughter of a wealthy businessman who taught her martial arts. She was a beloved daughter who was bound to spend the rest of her life playing the piano. But one night all of that changed when Bison invaded the Li's residence, and kidnapped her father. Years went by as her father was held captive by Bison, but Chun Li always hoped she would see her father again. And one day she mysteriously received a scroll written in ancient Chinese, and that scroll put her the quest to find her father and to fight for Justice.
Chun Li did not wear her classic outfit as seen from the video game, and she performed the spinning bird only once. Notwithstanding, casting Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li was a good choice, and she seemed convincing as an action star. For the most part, historically, this film was surprisingly well explained, as the background of the major characters was detailed satisfactorily. But what was not explained were the mystical aspects of Gen and Chun li's extraordinary powers. The action scenes were not off the charts in their level of amusement and creativity, but they were sufficiently entertaining. On a final note, this film was somewhat melodramatic, but it was OK; I'll score it a 73. Stay tuned movieporium.blogspot.com.
