DVD Reviews of Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
DVD Review: Don't throw away your $50 imported version just yet. . .
Summary: 3 Stars
YES, THE FULL SHOWER SCENE IS IN. That said, I just bought this DVD this morning and it appears I get to be the first to review the finished product! Sadly, this release is somewhat disappointing. To put it bluntly, it's very bare bones. To the moron that was absolutely giddy thinking this DVD was going to be a hacked up full screen version, IT'S WIDESCREEN! Not anamorphic widescreen, but at least widescreen. The only people who would want fullscreen are people that don't understand what fullscreen really is.
The disc is two sided. One side contains the English version and one contains the Japanese version. I have found that BOTH VERSIONS ARE CROPPED on all 4 sides a little bit from the original Japanese import version I have on DVD and neither compare in picture quality. Here is a summary of each:
English Version:
This version has the full shower scene which is about the only improvement it has over the previous DVD release. The altered soundtrack is still there. Furthermore, the picture looks very washed out and the focus is very soft, almost to the point of blurring. The widescreen is non-anamorphic and, to make matters worse, not ever centered on the screen! The viewable area is a little more to the top that the bottom, making it look very unprofessional. This side has extras, but the extras only include the UK trailer for the movie and some other Manga trailers.
Japanese Version:
This is the original version. The color looks great and the picture is sharp, at least if you play it on a television. Play it on your computer and it looks all grainy and glitchy, especially during action scenes. The original soundtrack is there in all it's glory. There are English subtitles which are on by default, but you can turn them off. The viewable area of the widescreen is centered this time which is good. The only extra on this side is character profiles that link to each character's fight scenes. Overall, this is the superior version just because of the picture and soundtrack.
As for the movie itself, it's a classic which I consider about 4 stars. The fight scenes are great and the story is respectable. Nothing much more I can say about it that hasn't been said dozens of times before.
The DVD also comes with a mini comic book. Not bad for the price, but far from the perfect release I was hoping for. Oh, and the cover shown is a slip cover. The cover to the actual DVD is the same as the UK version's cover if that makes any difference to anyone. For the price, I say pick it up and hope for a superior re-release in another few years.
