It is a performances centric movie

Blistering performances.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I've played the Tekken games. They are fun, visually stimulating, in places madly complicated, but always worth playing.This movie, on the other hand, is a waste of time and effort, on both the creator's part and the viewers.To begin with, there are many characters in the Tekken game which a 60-minute movie cannot hope to address appropriately. We are given glimpses of some characters who are key to the game's storyline, but in the movie? You get the oh-so-terrible 2-second "Hey look! There's (insert name)!" shot, but never once get to see them in action, which is just a waste. An extra half an hour would have done well just to see these guys in action.The drawing style and choices of shots are clichéd and average at best. No atmosphere is brought across by the visuals. The English dubbing borders on awful, the dialogue repetitive and prone to spoon-feeding the viewer the bleeding obvious, and the soundtrack in places misplaced.There were some nice ideas in the storyline, but it's so badly executed that you can't enjoy it, even as a fan of the game series.3/10. Don't bother with it.

Few people in anime's massive fanbase seem to be willing to accept the fact that most anime is pretty awful. Most anime has terrible pacing, incredibly awkward dialogue, cliched plots and characters, and poor animation in the case of most non-feature anime. Tekken has all of these faults and more to the point where it's so bad you shouldn't miss it. Most notably, for a movie based on a fighting game, there doesn't seem to be very much fighting. Most of what little combat there is is of the Dragonball variety, which involves people standing about ten feet apart and speaking in run-on sentences about their hastily put-together back stories. When the characters aren't 'fighting' they're yammering on about the hilariously lame plot which involves some kind of devil and an island and the end of the world or something. I was too busy laughing through most of it to catch any of major story points. Speaking of laughing, one of the major action sequences involves the characters fighting freaking INVISIBLE DINOSAURS. I'm not kidding. They also managed to work the stupid boxing kangaroo into the story. I caught this movie on cable with the terrible English dub, which gives it another point on the Hilariously Bad scale. There's just so much wrong with this movie that it's great. If you consider yourself an anime fan, do yourself a favor and watch this so you know where the bottom of the barrel is.

As far as this movie goes, I can only say this... WHAT HAPPENED!?The movie starts oddly enough with Kazuya Mishima getting tossed off a cliff by his father, Heihachi which didn't really do anything for this movie.The only real good parts about this movie were the music in the English version, (good choices) and a shower scene and implied sex scene between Anna Williams and Lee Chowlan.Other than that... this movie sucks.On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being bad, and 10 being excellent, this gets a big fat goose egg!

Tekken the movie is based on the namco game with the same name. It features some of the best fighters in the world, brought together to compete for the title as best martial arts fighter in the world in the "Iron fist tournament".After just watching the film I feel like the producers could have done so much more with this film, it felt incomplete. The character development never worked out, the voice actors ( refering to the English version ) where awfull. Even though the animation was acceptable, it was far from good.The story was thin and never introduced you to most of the characters from the game.I would give it a 4 out of 10, sadly but true it doesn't deserve much more.
