Capcom's movie only has "a sigh"

The only

thing left in the Capcom movie is "a sigh" Liu Sikun/wen.

Others think I am a person who likes contemplation and refuses to entertain. In fact, I like entertainment. The difference may be that I don't like others to know about my entertainment.
That's because my entertainment world is small and naive.
From the age of one to six, I grew up playing with cars and cowboy models. After I was seven years old, I started to be exposed to video games. But in any case, the games I haven't given up so far are FIFA, Resident Evil and Street Fighter. The latter two are from Japan's largest game producer: Capcom.

Yesterday, after watching the game movie "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li" produced by Capcom himself, I can only say that Capcom is absolutely good for making games, but it is absolutely bad for making movies.

Why do you say that? Let me explain the background first. Capcom has two famous games in the global gaming history: "Resident Evil 2" and "Street Fighter 2". The former established the pinnacle status of the horror survival game, and no one can compare it since then. The latter established the basic rules of 2D fighting. Since then, all fighting games cannot escape the logic set by "Street Fighter 2" no matter in action or scene. Now I still clearly remember that in order to play a game of "Street Fighter", the children in the streets crowded into the small game hall, sweating, smelling the pungent smoke, and stretching their necks with anxious feet. Watching others play Street Fighter, I really don't know where to be curious and crazy.

Strangely, it may be to create momentum for the new products "Resident Evil 5" and "Street Fighter 4". Since the second half of last year, Capcom has successively released "Resident Evil: Deterioration" and "Street Fighter: Spring" with the same name game as the script. Biography of Li. I don’t know how other fans who grew up playing the Capcom game commented, I can only say: the movie has become an ornament in Capcom’s money bag.
The release of the movie hit my trust in the Capcom brand, because I couldn't believe how the game character who brought me so many joys in his childhood became so stupid and stereotyped in the movie? Does the director really treat the IQs of our adults as children who only wanted to skip school and play games in the past?

"Resident Evil: Deterioration" is widely criticized. In fact, the game’s 3D character modeling design and film-like plot laid a good foundation for the production of this 3D animation film. But as something that has happened after "Resident Evil 4" (there is already a parasite appearance), why the plot still stays in the "zombie + G virus" of the era of Resident Evil 2? It is understandable if you are completely loyal to the original work, but Li Ang and Aida Mingming are already in love, but in the movie, Angela becomes a "little three". How can people believe that the screenwriter is loyal to the original work?
Not to mention the imitations of familiar American blockbuster shots everywhere in the movie and the logical confusion: how can a flight with security checks let T-infected people enter? T virus infection has a short duration, which is confusing; many AKs can't hurt G monsters, and Li Ang's pistol can make G fall into the deep valley with a single shot; Angela has very few lines from the beginning to the end, and the response is slow. The "policeman" couldn't catch up; the communication between Li Ang and Claire was also not tepid, and in other words, they were friends in Lakun who lived and died, but their expressions didn't even move. The most inexplicable thing is that I still don't understand what Degeneration refers to after watching the entire movie. At the end of the plot, apart from the ambiguous eyes of Li Ang and Angela, there seems to be no other possibility to make a sequel.

As for "Street Fighter: Chunli Biography", it is even more laughable. Because the characters of this game are in cartoon style, it is naturally difficult to remake it into a live-action version. The introduction of the film revealed that director Kristin Kreuk respected the plot of the original film and was determined to make a serious film. The plot was produced by Capcom himself, which seemed to be enough to appetite. However, after the film was watched, all the publicity was not enough. Become a negative irony.
Not to mention Chunli, let's talk about the terminally ill professional killer Gen. In the movie, he is not an old man with a white beard, but a tall, handsome Kung Fu man. He was beaten up when he came up, and then swept the street again. The signature mantis yin and yang combination fist disappeared. He used Hadata, which he had never seen before, and passed this trick to Chunli.
Next, let's look at the big villain Bison. From beginning to end, he did not wear the typical "red police uniform", and then he had an inexplicable love for his daughter. You must know that he had already given his conscience to his daughter in his youth, and where did he come from his fatherly love? ? In order to give Bisonan a weakness, the director just fooled it. In the end, Bison didn't have any big tricks such as electric drills, so he was cleaned up by Chunli's rotating legs. You know that trick is Cammy's signature. Action.
The other two villains, Barlog and Vega, are also stunned, only the bravery and no IQ. The director portrays Vega as a professional killer, and Barlog is simply stupid and big, and the two have distinct personalities in the original game (Vega loves beauty and is a little angry at Bison’s arrogance. Barlog is reckless and has no rules. It is a modern version. Li Kui, totally unsuitable for management) was completely overwhelmed. Yuan and Chunli took care of them before they even made their signature moves.
Another is Nash, which is basically useless. Not to mention the extreme decline of the character, Nash will only lead a group of police to shoot in the whole movie, and there are few highlights other than that.
Finally, let's take a look at Chunli and the plot. Chunli's character image is somewhat similar to the game characters, and the fighting scenes are quite exciting, which may be the only highlight of the movie. But in terms of plot, it is really impossible to match the original: who sent Chunli the mysterious drawing? If you don’t play a good piano, why go to the streets just because of the guidelines of the drawings? Just for revenge, Chunli will join Yuan's organization? No matter how extensive his father’s contacts are, after 17 years, these contacts will be old and dead. Bison really thinks Chunli's father is still worthy of use? Chunli's father was strong in martial arts, but Bison twisted his neck and killed him. Chunli was a filial daughter who ate dry food? Father and daughter are so close, why didn't Chun Li try to find her father's body when she escaped? Before joining the criminal police, Bison was killed by her. What is the motivation for Chunli to become a criminal policeman in the future? The evil organization Shadaloo only has a dozen or so staff for Bison to dispatch, which makes people wonder: Where are the Jamies?

Director Andre Bakovia vowed to say that we are making a serious movie, which is really inexplicable. If he really played the Street Fighter game for hours, he wouldn't make such a mistake.

Advise Capcom to stop making movies in the name of games. It will not allow us to continue to enjoy the pleasure brought by games on the movie platform, but will only bring "a sigh."

    Very good cartoons are not inferior to the real life but don’t like the male protagonist’s look very much.

    It's the first time to watch this kind of CG game-style cartoon...The character modeling is really cool!
