North American Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li poster is ... yeah photo

On February 27, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is coming to theaters. And here is your poster. Yup.

You've got your big Kristin "Chun-Li" Kreuk face, a good look at Vega's mask, and ... yeah, 20th Century Fox lost us on this one awhile ago. And the film's tag line -- "Some fight for power. Some Fight for Us" -- isn't really helping matters much. How about something like "This chick's Spinning Bird Kick ain't nothing to chirp about"? I mean, that works, and it pays homage to the source material, too. 

Oh, who are we kidding? We're prepping our M. Bison cosplay to see The Legend of Chun-Li opening weekend.

I'm no visual design expert but that is an ugly confusing poster.

My wife just pointed out to me that those horrible blobs on the poster are -- wait for it -- some guy punching another dude in the face. I didn't even see that when I first looked at it. Jeez.

Kristin Kreuk's hotness saves this from utter failure.

And is that the guy from My Name is Earl down the bottom? lol

I think it is a punch and a jump kick at the same time. But I would have never noticed it either, its just a super forgettable image.

I don't know what's sadder, the image itself or the fact that I'm still gonna see this movie at some point

That composition looks like an idea I would have tried in 2005.

I see what they are going for, but man is the execution terrible. I'm absolutely dumbfounded how I have so much trouble finding a quality design job when shitkickers are churning out this garbage.

Twenty years of reference materials, and this is the poster that is supposed to say: "Street Fighter"?

And the vicious cycle of game to movie adaptation continues.

Hmmm, looks terrible and it comes out the day before my birthday, I'm there.

if it's about Chun-Li, why is it a guy punching Vega in the face?

And why does the Street Fighter type look like it's from RoboCop?

And who are all those people in the poster? Why should I care? Why do they look like they're made of plastic?

And where are Chun-Li's Ox-horns (the hair thingies)? Or her legs? Hell, why did they cast an asian girl whose eyes don't look asian?

this movie is BULLSHIT
