It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I first saw this movie a few weeks ago in a movie rental.Since im a big fan of Tekken i had to buy it.The introduction is the best part of this movie for me.The game characters were made great.The choice for Jin Kazama was great although maybe a little too young(not that im complaining!) The choice for Heihachi Mishima was great although they should have made at least one scene where he fights.The choice for Kazuya Mishima was also great! Other notable choices were Brian Fury and Eddy Gordo/ Brian was actually much better then the main character Jin Kazama!(regarding the choice of actors) Thats my two cents! I watched this movie 4 times so far and it never bores me.

I would have liked this film to have followed the storyline from the video game series, which my brother and I played on all the time when we were younger. However, this film didn't turn on to be that bad, where in 2039, Jin Kazama (John Foo) witnesses the death of his mother Jun (Tamlyn Tomita) in the hands of the cruel corporation Tekken. As a result, Jin enters a dangerous combat tournament sponsored by Tekken in order to avenge his mother's death and potentially bring down the people running the corporation.At an hour and a half long, this film has intense action from start to finish, going on a plot full of twists and unpredictability, which actually made this film quite captivating. The movie features a host of characters from the video game like Jin, Jun, Bryan Fury, Nina Williams, Anna Williams, Raven, Steve Fox, Kazuya Mishima and Heihachi Mishima. Each takes on a role a little to a lot different than the game, but is acted out fairly well. I would have preferred them giving Nina and Anna more screen time, though, and having a different actor play Kazuya; Ian Anthony Dale to me wasn't very into the role and didn't look comfortable. The Kara character was unnecessary and I would have replaced her with another original character from the video game.Aside from some of the cheesy effects and overboard fights, it's an OK movie. It's not one of the best action films I've seen, but better than some of the other video-game based movies like the boring Super Mario Bros. and the extremely cheesy DOA: Dead or Alive.Grade C+

First off, I am a die hard Tekken fan. It is one of my favorite fighting game franchises. When i heard that there was a Tekken movie, my immediate thought was "Oh no, they are going to ruin it." WELL, I was wrong. I actually enjoyed it! I liked every bit of it. The story may not have been that great but you think about it, its hard trying to establish a story entwining 40 or so fighters in the entire franchise. The acting may not be great, but they are trained stunt-men and martial artists. The sets were cool, the costumes/makeup were great (except for Heihachi, his hairdo was a mess). There were some moments that had me scratching my head in disbelief but I'm not going to complain. (Thats what nitpickers do and I'm not a nitpicker). My only disappointment is that some of my favorite fighters weren't featured. Like Hwoarang, King and Lili. Thats all I have to say. Its no masterpiece nor as good as MK but I recommend this to anyone that enjoys Tekken or martial arts. I give this movie a 7 out of 10.

As a huge fan of the Tekken series, upon finding out about the game being adapted into a film, I honestly never had high hopes in the first place. Normally, video games that are made into a film are normally horrendous (with the exception of Resident Evil) and on seeing the trailer, I knew this would be no exception. First of all, there are a lot of inaccuracies in the film. First of all, Jin (the main character) wasn't introduced until the third Tekken game but it is understandable to have him in the movie as the majority of the games are centred around him. However, Jin was only 15 when his mother died but in the film he was an adult. Speaking of his mother, Jin, in the video game she was murdered by the character Ogre which is the reason why Jin began to fight and enter the King of the Iron Fist tournament, but in the film she is not killed by Ogre but by a bazooka? and Jin goes to the Iron Fist to kill Heihachi, who in the video game was Jin's mentor!I could ramble on more about the inaccuracies like Steve Fox being Jin's mentor, or Paul Phoenix not being involved in the film even though he is in all the games, but there are other criticisms at hand. The acting - TERRIBLE! It was like everyone done a half-hearted performance, not bothered about what events occurred. It was like they were just waiting for filming to end.Characters - Now I know that they can't include every character in Tekken, but they probably had the worst selection ever! They had Christie to play the female lead which makes no sense. They had Sergey, Raven, and others who weren't introduced until Tekken 5 or 6. And Foo, who played Kazama didn't even look like Jin! He wasn't broad enough and they pathetically modified his hair to make it look like Jin only to have it look like an ice-cream cone.And where was Hwoarang in this? Everyone loved a bit of Hwoargie in the games!So overall, I give it a 3/10. The visual effects, the fight sequences and Yoshimitsu's outfit are the only positives about the film. You can tell that they put a lot of work into locations and such with their rather large budget. However, if you're a die hard Tekken fan like me, don't watch it, you will be frustrated. This goes on the list of bad video game to movie adaptations along with Street Fighter, House of the Dead and more. So don't waste 90 minutes of your life watching this frustrating film. Just play the game.Anderson
