Streetfighter Ryu is destined for a journey of self-discovery. If victorious, he'll be able to control the dark energy threatening to consume him, but there's a problem--Ryu's confidence level isn't w... read more read more...hat it used to be. Tensions mount as Ryu, along with his allies (some old, some new), presses forward in his efforts to confront Akuma, the bloodthirsty master of the Dark Hadou. United, Ryu's team does what they can to curtail the force that threatens to destroy them all. Street Fighter Alpha is based on the popular Street Fighter II: V series. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

    Well, I thought this is not the kind of movie it would have been. I was a big Street Fighter fan since playing the video game at the arcade when I was young. This anime film is really different I never excepted to see new street fighter characters except Ryu, Ken and Chun-... read moreLi.
    I liked the original anime and even the V series because in the end Ryu & Ken ultimately team up. One or the other (usually Ryu) has to get the final hit, but it takes both of them for a victory. Akuma would have given them both a run for their money with his raging demon; Street Fighter fans don't want the throw-away Dr. Sadler crap, we want the real deal - bring on Akuma.

    Great animation with a story that seems more in common with Dragon Ball than Street Fighter. Still good for any SF fan.

    i was extremely excited for this movie because i am a huge street fighter fan, but i was fairly dissapointed. the story was weak, most of the characters were underused, everytime they made you think they would show a tournament they got one or two matches in and changed the stor... read morey, and many of the characters i love were absent from this movie. they hyped up an akuma battle that they never showed and they lead up to the climax was better than the climax itself. it had a few bright spots for street fighter fans that makes it an average movie, but it should have been much better.

    The whole film ignores most of the characters and just focuses on Ryu's struggle with turning to the darkside. And the makers constantly focus on Chun-Li's crotch - which gets irritating really fast. It does feature Rose, which is cool, but with all the characters available to th... read moreem this is a massive let-down.

    the art is so cool the action is intense but there is some very awkward scenes and the camera seems to always to close on chun-li lady parts either than that its a good film based on the game
  • February 21, 2009
    Even at 90 min. the movie overstays it's welcome. Too much exposition and too many newly introduced characters and I didn't care about either. The final battle was underwhelming to say the least. And what's with the camera capturing crotch shots?
  • March 17, 2008
    The focus is around Ryu (Yea, big surprise!) as he struggles to not succumb to his inner "dark hadou", a "Dark Side - Star Wars-esq" power that resides within him.

    With its decent fighting & less than decent story line, it is a predictable & saddly unworthy component to the S... read moretreet Fighter saga.

    This spin-off/reboot/seperate continuity something to the classic Street Fighter animated film follows in the footsteps of some of the beautifully animated fight scenes from the first film, though the film's plot is sadly lacking.

    Come for the fight scenes, and stay for the figh... read moret scenes, but don't stick around too much longer.
