The movie itself was a good movie. If you are wanting to see a good old fashion action movie then this is the one for you. If you saw Die Hard and Speed put them together and you get this movie.
John Cena is a decent actor and this movie is a good one for him. He doesn't show off his physique and that helps give him some credibility other than just a wrestler. The biggest problem of the film is the camera work. I think the camera work is horrible. If you saw the Condemned with Steve Austin there were several parts in that movie that the camera work was horrible.
That is the only drawback to this movie. The camera work at times almost makes you sick because it is moving so fast and it is hard to make sense of what is going on.
But the acting I think is fine and the story plot is enjoyable. Just don't go into the movie expecting a movie with a deep plot. It is a good old fashioned action movie with an excellent actor as the villan who is always one step ahead.
We went to the movies to be entertained and left the movie theatre feeling completely satisified. This is a family movie, with pleanty of action, a story line that was not complicated, and characters that were easy to cheer for.
Some of the "so-called" professional critics should take a 10 year old with them the next time they review a PG rated film. If you have children, take them to see the movie. If you are an adult and are going to see the movie, keep an open mind - it's not a remake of the original films; Disney took a good idea and added a modern spin to it.

In a mysterious nearby forest, a group of mercenaries are attacked. A scientist, Dr. Krieger, watches this from a secret research facility, obviously pleased with the results of his work, which is the cause of the death (which is unknown) of the mercenaries. In Seattle, a veteran newspaper editor makes arrangements to send his two archrival reporters, Tom Moore and Valerie Constantine, to check out the mysterious reports coming from an island in the Pacific Northwest. Once on the island, it doesn’t take long for the duo and their Captain, Jack Carver (Schweiger), to find trouble. The main mercenary commander Maria Sanchez immediately tries to capture them. Valerie and Jack manage to escape but Tom is killed. The mercenaries are hot on their heels and Valerie and Jack argue about their plan. Jack wants to get off the island as quickly as possible by reaching his friend Emilio. Valerie, a seasoned reporter, wants to gather more evidence for her story. After several dramatic chases and an encounter with the strange creatures, Valerie, Jack and Emilio are captured and brought to Kreiger. Krieger wants Valerie to join him in reporting his accomplishments to the world. Meanwhile, in the lab, the creature escapes and tries to kill Jack. Jack and Emilio manage to elude the creature but others in the compound are not as lucky. The creature corners Valerie and she narrowly escapes death as Emilio and Jack reach her just in time. The loss of control sends Sanchez into a fury. Jack and Valerie are pursued by Sanchez as they make a frantic attempt to get off the island and alert the world.
Warriors converge on the streets of Bangkok, preparing for the ultimate battle of terror versus beauty, light versus darkness and good versus evil.
This historical telling of the awesome Chun-Li is a must see for any Street Fighter fan. The action is good and the film makers do a good job showing her signature moves without making it seem corny or unbelievable. I concur with other reviews in stating that Chris Klein's Europol character should have been left on the cutting room floor.
The two main villains in this movie are M. Bison, portrayed by Neal McDonough, and Balrog, portrayed by Michael Clark Duncan. Let's start off with M. Bison. Neal McDonough did an excellent job portraying the the movie's main villain, a sadistic and cruel businessman who runs a crime syndicate called Shadoloo. McDonough perfectly captured Bison's cruelty and evil in this movie, and it could be clearly seen throughout many parts of this movie, be it eating dinner calmly while his business partners are hacked to pieces by his henchman Vega, or when he snaps Chun Li's father's neck without so much as a moment's hesitation. Bison is the epitome of evil in this movie, and what is perhaps most creepy is how calm and polite he is when he commits such atrocities. Too bad in this movie that he DIES, which annoyed me, as it goes against the whole plot of the Street Fighter video game storyline. Also, don't expect Bison to do any Psycho Crusher moves or Knee presses, the only person in the movie who has special moves is Chun Li (too bad). Bison fights with his bare fists and fights with moves that resemble Karate with some good old street fighting. Too bad there is no mention of Bison's Psycho-Drive or psychic power.
One year later, the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1,300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct and Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet a curious new character: Narnia's rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding, as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians--led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian--embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz's tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.
I went to the movie expecting it to be a entertaining film, but not as good as "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" because I find the book"Prince Caspian" less interesting than the previous. However, I was thoroughly impressed by the film, and can say that I enjoyed it more that "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", because I think that the movie "Prince Caspian" has an older audience in mind. There was a little more violence and the movie's pace was faster then the last installment of Narnia. Overall it was an excellent film.
