I think that 'Less Is More' perfectly fits "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist". It didn't try to be all in one. The plot is confined to tell the story of four 'Street Fighter' characters: Goken, Akuma, Ken and Ryu. The acting is flawed, but it's good enough for this type of movie. The special and visual effects are made decently. The score is great and adds a lot. Finally, fight choreography is very good and very pleasant for the eye so the overall impression of "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" is very positive.
I didn't care much about 'how true was the plot to the game?', but it looked coherent so I found it to be quite interesting. Moreover, it looked very mature relatively to its content, something that cannot be said about most of computer game adaptations. It is wrapped very well and I had a satisfactory feeling after watching it. It flows smoothly and can be perfectly watched as a movie (in fact I hope they will release it as a single movie on cable).
Another thing that I liked about "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" is that it doesn't contain violence. No gore or brutality, which is very prevalent today. I think it is suited well for the younger generation. It focuses on martial arts and training rather than violence.
Couple of words about the fight choreography. I looks very solid and visually pleasant. However, since it retells the story of practitioners of a single style, the fights share similarity.
