Street Fighter Spoilers Review

Travis (0:00)

This past week, Street Fighter released... I was gonna say at the time, I reluctantly agreed to it. I didn't, I was happy to agree to it. Like, oh, let's review this topic.

Sbubbs (0:09)

Like a year ago.

Travis (0:10)

We got Coty, we got Roman, sure. I'd say now, I'd go, I reluctantly agree with it. I go first, because I know I'm more negative. This was like, I've said this before, this was a waterboarding type of movie experience for me. Now, I can see someone still enjoying this and having fun, I understand. I'm also not a Street Fighter guy, but I think this was all over the map. I agree with Sbubbs and other people who said this, that it's just, the music spamming is crazy, crazy. And it's not even the way where, because I know there's tons of people that hate the Deadpool Wolverine music spamming, but the reason I don't mind that is-

Sbubbs (0:48)

That is nowhere near as close to-

Travis (0:50)

No, but like the reason I like that one too, because it feels like it fits the vibe. They're trying to go for like, oh, the direct early 2000s, when we were fans growing up with Jack, and want to see the crossover stuff. This movie just has like, from all eras. So I don't want to go too much, we go back and forth. I definitely- I saw this alone with like two other guys. I saw like a 10 PM, whatever. Like, there's like two other guys in the theater. One guy, I think was enjoying it. One guy was dead silent the whole time, so I don't know why he was there, but one guy, he was enjoying himself. So I'm not sure what other like a raucous crowd would have been. I would have been better to see this with somebody, but I just had to see at that time.

And yeah, I definitely will never watch this again.

I did expect better from Mr. Runnels, Cody Rhodes. I will stand by that. I think his very first scene where we meet him, I think he's, that's actually like good. He has his BTE energy there. He has that there. And then something happens in the rest of those takes where he didn't have it. I saw what they were going for, but I also don't know if this is on him or on the writing and the movie, because I did not find this movie funny at all. There's not a single time I fucking genuinely laughed in this. So this was a fucking, this was a tough watch for me, Sbubbs. This was a Homelander in the theater experience for me of like, what am I doing? Why am I here? But yeah, what do you think about this movie?

Sbubbs (2:14)

Yeah, for me, it's like, I agree with everything you said, but at the same time, I don't know, there's just like something there to get me over the point of like still enjoying it, but like I still felt all the things that you felt, like definitely like the music's family, like I said in my letterbox review, like this was like, and a lot of things about this movie, I could say are similar, like Suicide Squad 2016, where like every single scene has a licensed song and like they'll cut to one to the other, yeah, with like nothing in between. Like in the final fight of the Kuma and it cuts the Rob Zombie like more than the human, and like, this is where we're going here, we don't have any, there's only, there's only one scene with a licensed song. We're like, I don't know if it even fit the scene, but I just like the songs. I like the scene, but most of the time is just like, and the 50s that one did make me laugh when they dropped that one.

Travis (3:03)

Oh my god, when they play many, many, oh yeah, we're in full spoilers by the way. People have not, I'll put in the title, if you have not seen Street Fighter, but like, you're either seeing it or not, there's nothing to spoil in this week, but yeah, yeah, there's like no, I mean, there's barely a story in this movie.

Sbubbs (3:18)

It's just like a compilation of scenes happening with like nothing in between. And it's funny, because I was thinking, before watching the movie, I was thinking of the trailer and like thinking of the scenes in the trailer, because one of the trailers I really like, and I've watched a bunch of times, but I was like, nothing in this trailer tells me the story besides this just being like various scenes. And then the movie is just that, yeah.
