You see, Halo's the first one that could actually work. They're not treating it like a "game movie" but rather a "Hollywood blockbuster". Halo has the depth, character, and strength to pull off a genuinely thrilling, and potentially moving movie because they've got the talent behind it, the full support and involvement of the creators, and the budget to do some amazing sh*t.

Now....Street Fighter. This rumor has been looming for awhile. We all know Street Fighter's theatrical history (cheese or dogshit, depending on how sentimental you are about your childhood). Chun Li is universally regarded as the queen mother of fighting games, and the original female representative of gaming. They failed at appropriately casting her last time, but last time they failed to pull their head out of their ass concerning the whole process, and that was a different era. Things are different now in this business. If (and that's a big 'effing "IF") Capcom were to put some bucks into this project and find appropriate actors (another big "if), then come out with an actually killer storyline, this could be gold. The story focuses on one character, not the lot. That means they can develop the character and flesh out an independent universe for her. They can focus on one thing, and do it well.

But, then again, this is Capcom. They fu*king suck, but they are usually really protective of the integrity of their characters.....well, since 1994. If thing is anywhere near as good as the Udon comics, then we're golden. If not, I won't be surprised. Point is, there is a better than nothing chance that this might not suck. I hope not. They fu*k up Chun Li....let's just say I'll start posting random spam out of my ass for a month.
