They obviously are staying faithful to the moves, the choreography looks good, and the plot...looks like it's in the way and "overly ambitious" as these things go but hopefully we don't spend too much time on it.
My only complaint is that dictator isn't getting trailer time and I suspect that's because they aren't going to do him justice, but so be it, even if he is my main.
I don't think anyone would be able to really follow Raul Julia's M. Bison, but David Dastmalchian is an actor that could do something interesting at least? They seem like they're taking notes from...

I was sorta hoping they'd go more in on the martial arts side since, yeah, you're not going to match the raw absurdity of what Julia did with that role. I'm guessing Bison in this isn't going to...

I'm guessing Bison in this isn't going to do much more than Julia did with a wire/cgi assisted "psycho crusher" and then we're done, but I guess we'll see.
Still cannot believe that Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns are actualy playing Guile and Akuma. It shouldn't work but it does. I know it's something that probably won't happen, but I'd like to see...

I know it's something that probably won't happen, but I'd like to see Capcom take another swing at adapting the movie adaptation of their game series into a video game of its own. But rather than quarter-arse it like they did with Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, make it a video game that could stand up alongside the main series.
Not sure what you'd actually DO with that. They're right in the middle of SFVI, and any "move game" entry is going to take a hell of a lot of development time and cost. They'll (maybe..it's been...

They're right in the middle of SFVI, and any "move game" entry is going to take a hell of a lot of development time and cost. They'll (maybe..it's been odd) add costumes for VI and be done with it as anything else is going to take a ton of resources.
I think there is an important distinction to make between a well-made B movie (which this appears to be) and a poorly made movie, which is what I think should normally be considered "bad". This is...

This is going to be a movie which is not making a statement, has no particular commentary, and is not intended to make you think. It is likely going to hit nostalgia hard for GenXers and Millenials, make you laugh in a low-brow way, and have some cool fights. I think a lot of cinema people really frown on that type of movie, but the intent is simple entertainment; it's possible that this is just a good trailer, and that the underlying movie is bad, but I think it's more likely that the trailer is an accurate depiction of what you can expect in the movie, which is not a movie that is attempting to be 'good'.
I realize there's some pedantry in the above statement, but I think that it's actually kind of important when evaluating this kind of movie.
Nah. I think Suicide Squad was so obviously going to be a bad movie from the trailers, that and we all heard about the production troubles it had. By all accounts this movie is surprisingly good,...

Stylistically, cinematography wise, this looks incredible. If the entire movie is this sort of style, then even if the story is rancid, it will be fun and great to watch. Even if the story is god...
Stylistically, cinematography wise, this looks incredible. If the entire movie is this sort of style, then even if the story is rancid, it will be fun and great to watch. Even if the story is god awful, I am sort of in hopes that it is, just to be good.

Guess we'll find out in October.

I love that they’re smashing the car. I will actually see this in a theatre.
This comes across to me as a very well edited trailer for a bad movie. Like Suicide Squad a few years back.

Zero commentary here on valid takes from you and @unkz, but I find this very funny.
I should also clarify that if I watched any movie in the theatres anymore, this one would be a very likely candidate. It looks like a ton of fun.
