Street Fighter (2025) reboots the game franchise, with Ryu (Lewis Tan) entering a global tournament to stop Shadaloo’s leader, M. Bison (Dwayne Johnson). Joined by Chun-Li (Anya Chalotra) and conman Guile (Ryan Reynolds), Ryu uncovers Bison’s plan to weaponize fighters’ chi for world domination. The plot tracks their battles across urban arenas and jungle bases, with Ryu facing his inner rage.

A subplot reveals Chun-Li’s vendetta against Bison, adding stakes. The narrative delivers high-octane fights but leans on generic martial-arts tropes, with uneven humor from Reynolds. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s (rumored) vibrant direction and colorful CGI arenas dazzle, though pacing lags in expository scenes. A fun, if formulaic, adaptation for game fans, it thrives on Tan’s intensity and Johnson’s menace.
