The evil M. Bison plans to suck the power from one of the most powerful fighters in the world, Ryu, so he holds a sequel to a tournament Ryu won years before. Ryu is reluctant to rejoin because he won the previous tournament by tapping into dark powers while his estranged friend Ken wishes to prove his worth by winning the tournament. Chun-Li, an undercover operator in Bison's organization, has her own plans to take down Bison. All this nonsense plus hundreds of cameos and video game references make this a crazy pants watching experience. Oh, and the flashbacks are animated.
I stood atop my house and wondered what other lands there were to conquer. My house was five levels, three above ground and two below. The top level was all glass made for observing the blocky terrain twenty plus blocks below. The next level was a bedroom and hangout pad. The bottom level was full of chests that held materials for crafting. The next two levels underground held my crafting bench, more chests, and weapons. Below that was a MINE and that was why I CRAFTED.
Did anyone else know Willem Defoe is in this fucker?
There's a point in Justice League when I started to say, "Hey, this ain't my little brother's Superman."
Full disclosure, I don't have a little brother and never had that point. I just wanted to say that and now I feel a little ashamed.
Batman has a parademon problem and thinks he's gonna need some buds to help him out. He gathers Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, and zombie Superman up and they get to punching shit. That's about it.
If you come to these superhero movies looking for anything other than two to three hours of explosions then brother or sister, you need to shut the computer and take a walk. Even Christopher Nolan could not move this genre out of the "punch it until it's ideologically sound." If you say different, well, I'm happy for you.
I say that to say this: DC has produced the bottom of the barrel of content. Wonder Woman is the exception that proves the rule. Given her screen time here, I hope you saw the acting talent Snyder gave her ass.
So when I say that this movie is passable as a hungover Sunday indulgence, I do not say that lightly. A few jokes land, you can see the action at times, and the plot is pretty straight forward.
