Street Fighter (2026) review: Male friendships are complicated
The 2026 live-action Street Fighter movie is a successful adaptation that honors the franchise's lore and characters, particularly Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li. While the tournament feels secondary to character-driven narratives and some pacing issues exist, the film excels with its choreography, surprising animated sequences, and strong performances, making it a standout video game movie.
