"Street Fighter" - Immortal Kombat

Ryy (Andrew Koji) and Ken (Noah Centineo) are childhood friends who trained under the same master at a dojo. But Ryu harbous a dark-
Does this really matter?

There is way too much fucking plot and lore in this movie, it's extremely stop start and takes a fair while to get going. The fight scenes use too many close ups, the needle drops are too frequent and cut off, Jason Momoa is actually kind of dreadful in this, and it chops about its crowded cast and setting too much to let its human moments, genuine comedy and even fun fights breathe.
But the film's not made for me.
Whilst it certainly has some charm on its own (it's brightly coloured, the performers are good - Andrew Koji's Ryu is a particular highlight with his deadpan, dour straight man charm, and weirdly it's Orville fucking Peck who steals the show - also I like Rayna Vallandingham in this, and there's a prison break sequence which works, also I chuckled enough at the jokes), it's not made for me:
Ryu dresses as Hot Hobo Ryu AND Guy from "Streets of Rage", there is a Mayor Haggar reference, actors and characters all do their moves and costumes from the games, Maximilian Dood and Justin Wong (the latter yelling "PARRY THAT SHIT") get cameos, Joe from the first game appears, there is a shot of the opening tower fight from "Street Fighter 2" and, albeit in an extremely forced and clumsy way, they shoehorn in the sublime Raul Julia's "Tuesday" line from the campy cult classic film.
It's loud and extremely crowded, almost never having time to breathe, but never quite having a grasp on what its focus is.
But it's made for the game fans, and going to watch it alongside one, he got a lot of enjoyment from it.
Also, side note, remarkably horny movie: Chun Li gets a shower scene (which, rather amusingly, transitions to a naked E. Honda), Orville Peck is on a tear as the lascivious Vega, an extremely game David Dastmalchian plays M. Bison as a deranged foot smelling pervert, Cody Rhodes plays Guile as a confused bisexual himbo, Ryu and Ken have unresolved shirtless sexual tension, Kyle Mooney appears as a submissive smitten Chun Li coworker happy to have her kick him in the balls, and Mel Jarnson's Cammy is practically prowling and pouncing as a cat in heat whenever Chun Li is on screen.
