This film is set before the first Alpha Street Fighter film and is mainly about Akuma (Gouki) and Ryu. Other street fighter characters make appearances but they seem just put in and not really relevant to the main story, Ken and Sakura. You do get to see Akuma's brother Gouken and their master Goutetsu. All in all quite short which seems to be good as this is not that entertaining, the story moves very slowly along. The animation is different to the first Alpha film which is good cause that was plain terrible. So Capcom seemed to get one thing right in this prequel. But shouldn't be considered a whole street fighter film as not many of the characters are present.

I give it 5 out of 10 and only because the intro fight scene and music at the start was pretty entertaining.

Jim Carrey gives a valiant effort in this sequel. Its still Jim Carrey humor but a lot of it can be hit and miss. I'm a big Jim Carrey fan first off so I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible.

Ace is hired again to find another stolen animal. This time a bat in the jungle. Lots of Ace antics ensue to make for an overall enjoyable movie, maybe not a buyer but at least a one watcher for most (I bought it). There are a lot of good jokes in this movie and as a standalone movie its great but thats not good enough as it is being compared with the first. The jokes never stopped in the first so when this movie came out the same was expected but unfortunately it wasn't. Good jokes just spaced out too much.

Recommended for people who want more ACE Ventura.

6* out of 10

I remember seeing a trailer for this on a video rental before it was released in the cinema and when I saw it, I knew it was going to be good. Jim Carrey stars as Ace Ventura a Pet Detective alas the name of the film. Its a simple story really, the Miami dolphins mascot (a dolphin) is stolen before the Super Bowl and Ace is hired to try and catch the crooks and rescue Snowflake (the dolphin).

I saw this first when it came out in the cinema so I was quite young which meant some jokes I didn't quite get but still didn't take away from the fun. When I watched it several years later, it was great cause now I got all the jokes which made me even like it more. Rather like a Simpsons episode, watched when your younger compared to when your older.

This film has all out Jim Carrey antics so there is never a dull moment. Highly recommended for everyone unless of course you can't stand Jim Carrey. After watching though please don't go around doing Jim Carrey impressions, Alllrighty then....
