I had forgotten about this. Oh well, I'll still give it a rent .If I could sit through that hilarious "re-imagining" of Street Fighter, I should be able to handle this, no problem. If it's totally non-serious like Dead or Alive was, I might even like it.
There's a King of Fighters movie too, right? I wonder which will be worse?

I certainly hope, that by now everyone realizes that 2D/3D fighter games, should never be turned into live action movies. Animated movies, absolutely. Live action is poo.
my Tekken mad buddy said at the weekend "Dude, there's a Tekken movie out!!" (he's in his late 40's by the way).
At first i was like - Videogames?!
But then i was like "It's going to be terrible"

Like other commentors I too forgot about the movie.
That said, saying "at least the fight scenes were okay" is something I'm getting tired of seeing as a defense of shitty movies. It is hard to fuck up fight scenes. They can fail to match the tone of a movie but they are genuinely hard to fuck up.

Uh, even when this movie was released on the internet I still skipped it. Even that header image makes me want to poop my pants, it looks that horrible.
Brief synopisis of the movie, I saw it this last weekend.
The world is shit and split into 5 large coglamerates, known collectivity as TEKKEN (WTF). The Iron Fist Tourney is held to bring pride to the corporations.
Jin Kazuma lives slum called "The Anvil" with his mother Jun, and he has a sexy GF whom he screws in an alley between two huts, right before the Jacks come and kill Jun.
Upset over his mothers death, Jin wants to kill Heiachi, the leader of the local corporation, what better way to do that then join the Iron Fist tournament. He joins an open call preliminary fight, and beats Marshall Law.
With Law's defeat, Jin join the finals of the Iron Fist tourney. There Jin meets up with Christie Monteiro and a handful of other characters from the game, Bryan Fury, Eddy Gordo, Nina and Anna Williams, Raven, Sergei Dragunov and Miguel Caballero Rojo. Yoshimitsu apparently does not train and bunk with the other fighters.
Jin fights Miguel Caballero Rojo and beats him after looking into his heart and realizing he needs to win...the Williams sisters sex it up with Kazuya, and then try to kill Jin. Jin cozys up with Christie, and the she saves him from being assasinated, by walking in the room. I think she has a power level over 9000.
There were other fights, and Jin wins, fins out that Kazuya is his father, Kazuya finds out Jin is his bastard son, and attempts to kill him, and imprisons his dad in a low security jail cell.
Jin sees Heichis true good, saves him and then defeats Kazuya.
There I saved you 2 hours of your life, and gave it in a confusing format just as the director gave to me.
Its not as good as Mortal Kombat, and just barely above Street Fighter the Movie, but only because it has more TnA.

At least most of the characters look true to their game counterparts. AND it has Kenshiro in it. Fuck yeah!
I watched it and yeah it's terrible. I thought the fight scenes sucked too. I think I honestly enjoyed the Chun Li movie more.
I would actually advise all of you to give the movie a try. For a video game movie, this is probably one of the better ones, especially if you are familiar with Uwe Boll. Special FX aren't bad, the fight choreography is pretty good, and the acting isn't absolutely terrible. Its still a bad movie, but its more like a B- or C rather than a total flop, which is good for a video game movie. Its also better than some recent blockbuster movies that have come out. Video game movies are pretty much always bad so get used to it, but again, this one isn't among the worst.
I'll just say this. I rarely suggest someone just totally skip a movie. I rarely complain about bad acting (though I can recognize it). I'm the kind of guy who can still sit through Mortal Kombat Annihilation and still sort of enjoy the fight scenes.
SKIP. THIS. MOVIE.
It only has two good things going for it. Yoshimitsu's 5 minutes of screen time, and gratuitous shots of Christie Monteiro's ass.

Nina Williams aka Candice Hillebrand does have a pretty sexy purple outfit. If anything, it is the only reason to watch the movie.
Other wise Skip it.

Ive seen it.. its bad.. just.. bad.
but Ive learned one thing with it. whenever you are being beaten to death on a fight, close your eyes for a few seconds and think about your mom.. when you open you eyes again you will magically kick ass. thats how Jin won every fight of the movie. awesome huh.
and damn, Christie is totally wrong on the movie.. she fights like Eddy for all I know.. capoeira and stuff. not that crap.

I'm sure the movie won't be very good, but shouldn't act as though the games actually have a good story. The characters and story were pretty ridiculous to begin with, but by now it's convoluted mess.
Watched the Tekken movie over the weekend.Watched Hellboy 2 yesterday and realized Prince Nuada = Steve Fox. If only Tekken had the fight choreographers from hellboy :(

It's INCREDIBLY easy to fuck up a fight scene. In fact, this movie does it several times over.
It's pretty much just as hard to make a well choreographed fight as it is to make a decent story, which is why it's rare to see both in the same movie.
Go watch any Tony Jaa movie if you don't think awesome fights can redeem a sub-par story. My guess is that your concept of what a "good fight scene" is is WAY off.

All it needed was a "It was just a Tuesday" moment. I could have forgiven it then. Instead it traded in Tekken's shitty story for a worse one. I've seen worse movies but I never need to see this ever again.
I actually liked it. I've watched it twice now. I don't like how Heihachi went down, but other than that it was fairly good
No! Heihachi's hair would have been awesome if they'd gone the full way! The movie 'Heihachi' hair was a tiny, pale imitation.
I agree that terrible is too strong. But it certainly wasn't good, and wasted a lot of the potential they made by hiring a damn near perfect cast (Kazuya and Heihachi being notable exceptions, I think).
