The early reviews for the Street Fighter movie are in, and Cody Rhodes is receiving praise from critics, with many saying he is particularly funny in it.

The film itself is currently at a 41% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 6.1 out of 10 on IMDb. However, several outlets have singled out Rhodes for his performance as Guile.

The Hollywood News called Rhodes “a scene-stealing stunner,” writing:

“Wrestler Cody Rhodes is a scene-stealing stunner as high haired Guile. Rhodes proves himself to have a great talent for comedy and his line delivery is on point.“

The Guardian said that Rhodes is “genuinely funny in the way he barks pleasantries and threats in equal measure.”

Entertainment journalist Joseph Deckelmeier also praised Rhodes’ performance, writing on X: “Cody Rhodes steals every scene he’s in, & I genuinely had a blast from beginning to end!”

ClutchPoints praised both Rhodes and Reigns, saying that Roman “brings ‘OTC’ energy to Akuma.” The outlet also said that Rhodes was the biggest surprise in the film, writing that his “first couple of lines will shock any WWE fans who only know him from his work in the squared circle.”

The Associated Press was particularly negative on the film, giving it one star out of four and calling it “a complete mess.”
