Critics Praise Cody Rhodes in Street Fighter Film

Early reviews for the Street Fighter movie highlight Cody Rhodes' performance. Critics have singled him out as particularly funny in his role as Guile.

The film holds a 41 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 6.1 out of 10 on IMDb. Several outlets praised Rhodes despite the mixed overall reception.

One publication described Rhodes as a scene-stealing stunner. It noted his talent for comedy and on-point line delivery.

Another outlet said Rhodes is genuinely funny in the way he barks pleasantries and threats in equal measure. An entertainment journalist wrote that Rhodes steals every scene and that the viewer had a blast from beginning to end.

One outlet praised both Rhodes and Roman Reigns. It called Rhodes the biggest surprise in the film and said his first couple of lines will shock WWE fans familiar only with his wrestling work.

The Associated Press gave the film one star out of four. It described the movie as a complete mess.
