M. Bison Reviews

Like so many other famous tales like Tarzan, Dracula, Peter Pan or Sherlock Holmes, this story has been adapted so many times already. Basically, every decade, they come up with a new version and this movie produced by Disney was basically the 90's version and, almost 20 years later, Paul W.S. Anderson would come up with yet another version. Well, even though there was really nothing mind-blowing with this version, I thought it was still not bad at all. First of all,  I really liked the cast (Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, Tim Curry, Rebecca De Mornay, Gabrielle Anwar, Julie Delpy). Furthermore, the whole thing was rather well made and fairly entertaining. Eventually, the only really issue with this movie was that, since I was so familiar with the material, they really had to add something new or exciting to make it really interesting but, unfortunately, it was the most straightforward adaptation that you could imagine. As a result, the whole thing was just really predictable and even seriously generic and, to be honest,  I’m pretty sure I will forget most of it within a couple of days. Anyway, in spite of its flaws, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
