Street Fighter movie review explores use of nostalgia

A review of the new Street Fighter film examines the industry's reliance on nostalgia to attract audiences. While the production features standout performances from Cody Rhodes as Guile and Orville Peck as Vega, the film is criticized for poor editing, weak storylines, and dialogue.

The reviewer notes that the filmmakers utilized 1980s and 1990s music and aesthetic elements to trigger nostalgia, which may alienate younger viewers and only offers limited long-term appeal. Despite these flaws, the animated segments were noted for adding depth to the production.
