Capcom Movies Online

There are two movies online that came out this week based on famous Capcom franchises. One is based on the classic action-platformer Mega Man and the other on the innovative Street Fighter series. So how are they?


Let's start with Mega Man. The movie is located here:http://screwattack.com/videos/Mega-Man
At over 90 min it's actually movie length. I watched the whole thing. I wanted to stop but I owed it to you to watch it for you. It's not that great if you couldn't tell already. The acting and dialogue are pretty bad and the action scenes aren't intense enough to save it. I do have to say however that the costumes were good and the CGI was better than the movies that the sci fi channel makes. I felt there was just too much filler (read: crap) in the movie. What's the deal with Dr. Light's wife? How is Mega Man adjusting to being a robot in a human world? What is the story behind the first android Dr. Light and Dr. Whiley made? No one cares. Seriously. People who like Mega Man are not interested in story and drama. They want to see a blue robot lay some laser-pain on other robots.

The next movie is called Street Fighter: Legacy and can be found here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2ZXSzaUIBQ
This was not really a movie because it was only a bit over 3 min long. It was sweet though! They totally need to make a full length film in this style. It wasn't cheesy like the 90s movie or horribly lame like the Chun Li movie (I didn't see it but, come on, I didn't have to.) It wasn't perfect but it was the best live action Street Fighter thing ever made. Watch it!
