Lots of reviews to come as I've been clearing up some old DVDs starting things off with Street Fighter Alpha the Movie.

No relation to the other Street Fighter movie Street Fighter Alpha the movie sets off with Sakura chasing Ryu, Chun Li stopping Shadoloo and Ryu mourning the death of his master while contemplating the effects of the Dark Hadou, the same power that consumed Akuma, then a vision from Rose brings more questions about the Dark Hadou, followed by the appearances of Shun and Ken. Shun is a kid who believes he's Ryu's brother and was sent to Ryu from his dying mother and already has some potential as a fighter if a little sadistic, while with Ken the two friends spar but Ryu starts succumbing to the Dark Hadou only for Ken to stop him. Later on Ken and Shun decide to enter an underground fighting tournament but things go wrong quickly as Shun is beaten by Zangief, Ryu then nearly kills Zangief in a rage and after a few exchanges with Shadoloo in which Ryu kills one of the Shadoloo fighters, Shun gets abducted.
After a brief exchange with Akuma, Ryu along with Chun Li, Ken and a multitude of other fighters travel to the Shadoloo HQ to take down it's leader Sadler, although some fighters are just here for a tournament. After several exchanges between fighters including the big muscle guy from the underground arena, Ryu is pushed into using the Dark Hadou but with Shun being used as a human battery to power the big muscle guy he ends up taking the damage, this then gives Sadler enough power to try and kill Ryu who used the tournament to steal fighting potential from the other fighters but Ryu manages to overcome his darkness to kill Sadler; afterwards Shun dies from his injuries admitting that he lied about being Ryu's brother and was sent by Shadoloo to lure Ryu into Shadoloo's clutches in exchange for his mother's health but she died anyway. The epilogue shows the fighters returning to normal with Ryu fighting Akuma off screen.
This film is a mess, I don't think the film makers actually played or even attempted to research what Street Fighter Alpha was, so much of the cast is under used or not used at all despite all of them having much more compelling backstories than we had with Shun who we are supposed to care about yet I really wanted to see him die because he was just a sadistic little freak, his lie was so obvious that no intelligent person watching would fall for it, and the villains, oh god, at least Bison had charisma Sadler is just dull in comparison and his henchman while looking awesome in design, really should have more to him than just being a grinning metal doll. The fights were okay but I didn't feel invested in them, dubbing was okay at least and the art style repairs some of the damage but not all of it.
I feel there is a great movie in the Street Fighter Franchise but time and time again the story is done so poorly that we are constantly left with mediocrity, the closest to being good was the Animated Street Fighter II movie which while having it's issues got a lot more right than all it's other films and tv shows.
Final Verdict: It looks good in action and in art style but I don't feel invested because were stuck with bland characters that have no business being in the Street Fighter Franchise.
