well, the "tournament of fighting" is a tried and true movie idea, so Tekken really couldn't be that bad, but then again, there was the street fighter movie.

These are the people who are going to be in the movie.

I'm not that picky but I'm sure they could find a better guy for Heihachi than this fella.

But I'll wait till the movie is out before I really judge it.

Well it gets the basic plot of a Tekken game down: revenge, tournament, some supernatural stuff (most likely). Hopefully it won't be too bad. But I'm not going to get too excited.

Well, it at leas looks more close to a fighting game than the anime Tekken movie, though I'm probably one of the twelve people who've actually seen that.

Looks ok but not exactly good.

well it's a movie based off of a fighting video game so it's gonna be crap... but Uwe Boll didn't get his grimy little hands on it so there is a small chance it won't be complete suckage but it will be no Enter the Dragon as far as martial arts movies go and defiantly no Ong Bak...

Honestly I dont see what about this is bad, really. The characters look decently like they should, and if they use the correct fighting styles, i'll be really happy. Thats most of the appeal of tekken anyway, seeing all the fighting styles meshing.

To be honest, focusing on the tournement and not on the silly corporation stuff will likely make it better. And the eddy gordo fight looks like it'll be a winner.

Seems okay, but I don't see there being anything outside of all the fight scenes.

Will it be like "Fight, fight, fight, love interest, training montage, fight fight fight, sexual tension, fight fight fight, The End"
is there anything wrong with that? it's senseless violence, all I could ask of a videogame movie.

I don't expect it to be good or anything, just fun to watch. :]

Not that bad, he says. It's bad enough. The love interest is going to really annoy me, and Jin isn't pretty enough.

It didn't make my eyes bleed but I'm not looking forward to it either. hmm.

I just want to see what they do with Yoshimitsu.

Atleast they were nice enough to actually have tournament fighting like in the game.
Cannot really say about anything else.

Just from the trailer, I can tell that the writing will blow, but it looks like it will be an at least competent fighting movie.

Not holding out much hope for this being anything other than average or bad. I'll go and see, if only because I'm interested in the concept.

Really? Looks pretty horrid to me. But the good thing is that the Asian main character... is actually Asian.

There are many things wrong with this and seeing as I'm a Tekken fanatic, it's my duty to do so.
1) Jin with love intrest = Poo poo. A reason I liked Jin is because he doesn't crave the wimmins or the mans at all, he basically just hates anything.
And that's all the movie trailer told me about what's going to suck monkey tits.

The good stuff?
1)With the slight few exceptions, the costumes are fairly accurate. Some arn't. Jin is a mixture of red AND white for example.
2)It is atucally a tournament of fighting. (Unlike some Street Fighter films.)
