Street Fighter first reviews: colorful, weird, noisy nonsense for fans

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRotten Tomatoes has the first Street Fighter reviews, and the summary calls the film colorful, weird, noisy nonsense, affectionately made for fans.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorToday's question: is affectionate nonsense a good movie, or just a loud one? Chip says it's good. Dale says it's noise.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNinety seconds each, and nobody mentions the video game's plot.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorColorful, weird and made with love? That's a birthday party! I'd see that twice and buy the popcorn bucket shaped like a fist.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe reviewers say it was made for fans. When did a movie caring about its audience become a flaw?

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNoisy nonsense, Chip. They put the warning in the headline and you read it as an invitation. That's how it begins.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIf nonsense is fine as long as it's loving, then every loud neighbor with a drum kit is just a fan of drums.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA neighbor with a drum kit and a good heart is the best neighbor you can have, Dale. He'd water your plants.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRebuttal time. Dale, you have sixty seconds, and the drum kit argument is now banned.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine. A loving GPS that drives you into a lake is still a bad GPS. Affection is not a navigation system.

11. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBut nobody's driving into a lake. They're watching somebody throw a fireball in a very bright outfit. That's a better afternoon than most.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEvidence from the data. The review summary says the film is weird, colorful and noisy, and it says all three kindly.

13. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorKindly! That's how a doctor describes a rash.

14. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA very colorful rash.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLightning round. One sentence each. Is a loud movie better with friends?

16. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYes, and better with a snack the size of your head.

17. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYes, because then the blame is shared.

18. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIs a weird movie worth a full ticket price?

19. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFull price, and I'd tip the usher.

20. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHalf price, and the other half goes to hearing protection.

21. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHold on, I'm not done.

22. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou are. Closing statements, thirty seconds each. Chip first.

23. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSomebody spent years making this thing for people who love it. If that's nonsense, then give me the nonsense and keep the sensible ones.

24. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNoisy, weird nonsense is how the reviews describe it, and I trust the reviews. I'll watch it from the hallway, with the door closed.

25. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy verdict: affectionate nonsense is good, but only at ninety minutes or less, and only if somebody else buys the tickets.

26. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI reject that ruling.

27. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI reject it too, but warmly!

28. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChat, vote now: good movie or just loud? Type G or L. Whichever loses, I'll take the blame.

29. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd since the ruling was colorful, weird and noisy, I'd like it known that it was made with love.
