definitely will be a massive train wreck. will be avoiding this like the plague and will be here when this shit flops HARD!

after all, SF is not sonic!

the only good thing that will come from this disaster of a movie is that it might end up being so bad that it might turn the raul julia movie into a likable instant cult classic considering that SF6 have so many references of his version of bision in that game

I would argue the Raul Julia movie is already revered in the so-bad-it's-good category. I see it remembered quite fondly despite all it's faults.

It might be pessimistic to say but I don't think this will even reach that kind of charm. But I also don't think the Sonic movies are particularly amazing either but they seemed well loved.

That movie is already there, the question is if this will make people 180 on Legend of Chun Li next.

That movie is already a cult classic despite being largely terrible.
