Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The_Phantom_Projectionist If nothing else, TEKKEN gets in my good graces just for being what it is: a flashy and ultimately decent tournament-based martial arts movie bearing an impressive cast list. The film's eventual falling point, however, is that it's based on a video game series that's so much better than decent that I can't help but lament that it isn't as awesome as what I've been able to create on arcade screens. If judged solely on these latter disadvantages, my rating for this film would be lower, but in light of my genuine appreciation for the remaining content, I'm going to consider it from a rounder perspective and name it as one of the better adaptations out there.Like in most video game flicks, the story suffers. It's played straight and high-tech, excluding all supernatural elements from the games and seriously watering down the triangle of contempt that serves as the canon plot line between the three main characters, Jin Kazama (Jon Foo), Kazuya Mishima (Ian Anthony Dale), and Heihachi Mishima (Cary Tagawa). The film takes place in a dystopian future where the Mishima-run Tekken corporation reigns supreme over a scarred earth and sponsors a regular fighting tournament to keep the masses entertained. After the death of his mother at the hands of the organization, Jin enters the tournament to avenge her while Kazuya plots the overthrow of his father.The backgrounds of most of the characters have been addled a bit as well, which is disappointing but I'll argue that their better-than-average casting makes up for some of this: Luke Goss as Steve Fox, Gary Daniels as Bryan Fury, Darrin Henson as Raven, Lateef Crowder as Eddy Gordo, Cung Le as Marshall Law, and several others are swell fits, making for one of the best ensembles ever seen in a fighting-themed adaptation like this (or at least a much better one than in THE KING OF FIGHTERS). Utilization of these performers and characters, however, is another issue: Heihachi and Steve Fox are prominent characters but don't fight at all, Kazuya is written as a slimy rich boy rather than the fighting beast we know him as, and - with very few exceptions - no character besides Jin has more than a single fight.When they do fight, however, it's mostly good stuff. Director Dwight Little hasn't done much action fare since he directed Steven Seagal and Brandon Lee during their prime, but he seems to have gotten better with age: he and choreographer Cyril Raffaelli wrangle some very competent brawls which occasionally peak as deliciously eye-opening, like during the Eddie Gordo and Bryan Fury fights. In-game fighting styles are mimicked pretty well (sans Marshall Law, whose portrayer sticks with his MMA instead of jeet kune do) and even the actors who aren't real-life martial artists come across looking tough. On the downside, almost all of the fights could've been longer, if only to do justice to the millions of times the same match-ups have taken place between gamers, and slow-motion was unquestionably overutilized. The final match between Jin and Kazuya was ruined by the movie's portrayal of the latter, but the remaining seven should all be considered generally satisfying if you're not out to hate them.In the end, this one doesn't transcend the game-to-movie curse that we're all waiting to see shed and hardcore fans will rightfully bash the snot out of the altered storyline and missing characters, but as far as this button-masher goes, my needs have been sated...maybe not by the ideal TEKKEN movie, but by a good fight flick that ought to have gotten better than a direct-to-video release.

wayne_b43 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.

OllieSuave-007 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+

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Somebody tell these "film" makers that fighting games do not make good films. There are so many issues and problems that it's pointless to even try. First of all, fighting games don't really have a plot. They have some cut scenes and back story for the characters, but it's essentially all fighting. Translate this into a film and you're screwed. They are always the same. Tournament, personal motive for protagonist, fights, the end. Enter the Dragon did this perfectly all those years ago, so just stop trying. That had actual characters it could play with. Here, the characters already exist, but no actor will ever do those pixels justice. We get a whiny boy here, enters a competition for revenge, has fight after fight, and that's it. I hope this is the last of this crap. At least the animated film had invisible dinosaurs.
