	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[A] dreary, overstuffed hodgepodge of poorly edited martial arts sequences and often unintelligible dialogue.	NEG
United States	David Kronke Los Angeles Times	"[It] features some of the worst editing to grace a studio film in a while"	NEG
United States	Cindy White IGN	Compared to a waste of celluloid like 'Alone in the Dark', 'Street Fighter' looks like a work of artistic genius. That doesn't excuse the film's many, many flaws, but it's not an excruciating mess either.	NEU
United States	Emanuel Levy Variety	"A messy, basically plotless bigscreen rendition of the popular multimedia game (...) This uninvolving movie will fail to achieve the results of the star’s last outings."	NEG
United Kingdom	Nigel Floyd Time Out	"Julia (in his final role) hams it up shamelessly as the camp commandant, but not even his suave presence and throwaway quips can save this noisy, brainless mess."	NEG
