Somehow looks goofier than the 90s film. Not sure how to feel about this.

The film itself looks terrible, in a way that's way too similar to Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. You would think that things would have changed in 16 years, but nope

But the cast all slowly coming on stage and acting like they're coked out of their minds except for Cody Rhodes was still the highlight of the show

This movie looks like it's full camp and lore accurate vs. the 94 movie being camp and having nothing to do with anything, and the Chun-Li film being a very confused student project.

Cody Rhodes has THE HAIR. That's how you know no one is taking this too seriously.

It's obvious that there is zero taking of it being any type of SERIOUS SF adaptation - but the real problem is between being completely not serious but still looking stupidly fun in general for the fans (something like what Sonic movies do with their marketing), this teaser really leaning up with being nothing serious, all full stupid... but that can still can turn up a mixed bag between something fun to look at and having just a good time (but nothing really more than that) to being yet another zero f's given adaptation for literally anyone like Borderlands - especially when they have literally no dialogue in that teaser to indicate how bad (or just corny) writing is.

I don't think they all were drunk/high ... but Jason Mamoa and Noah Centineo absolutely were.

And now they cast some far right manosphere podcast guy in this movie for some bizarre reason.

This looks fun! The cast is near perfect even if 50cent ain't Balrog like everyone wanted. Laughing

Points for the game-accurate costumes.

Honestly so long as the fights are good and the vibe is fun, I feel like it'll be a decent watch.

(I feel bad for Dan Hibiki fans though).
