Tekken is Power
Nice surprise!Not a real fan of the video game franchise that this movie is based on, but Anchor Bay/Starz does pull in the occasional good movie here and then. So when looking for some time to kill I decided to watch this out of no other reason to watch a good action movie, thankfully I got what I wanted and more.In a distant future where the War on Terror had destroyed most of the governments of the world, the corporations took over and became the ruling power over their nations. With each sharing dominance via a series of competitive money making tournaments called Tekken. But amidst the order, discontent and the desire to fight back a young man with dreams to do something with his life becomes embroiled in a rage to do something after the death of his family.Jin Kazama a young man living in what was once the United States of America breaks out of the slums of his home and enters the world of competitive martial arts tournament. All the while catching the attention of certain powerful being that views him as a threat. Still he is not alone as he gains the respect and attention of the lovely Christy Monteiro. As well as the power that of the populace that fuels this tournament.I don't know the video game other than its name. But the action is great, reminiscent of Mortal Kombat and Gladiator. The cast is appealing both in attractiveness and in their charisma. Its still very limited in its scope but it has plenty of great moments.Not a bad film. Glad to purchase the Blu-Ray for its Digital Copy.

GLADIATORS IN MORTAL KOMBAT
First of all I would like to say that this is one of the best KOMBAT movies I missed watching for quite a long time. TEKKEN has all the brutal fights that makes the gladiators more exhilarating. I purchased this dvd in a blockbuster close-out sale for just $2.50 and boy I'm so lucky that I bought the last copy. After I watched this movie, I told myself that this was the best choice I made out of a thousand used dvd's. WHAT A GREAT DEAL!!!

Umm, well, its a video game movie
Well, I've got to start this review by saying that this movie is a total guilty pleasure. Tekken certainly isn't a good movie and it is by no means the film adaptation of the hit video game series that Tekken fans everywhere would have loved to see. Fighting games are known for having convoluted and awkward storylines and its nice to see that they didn't really bother with that here. Beyond having the basics of the Mishima-Kazama clan down and how they're all related to each other, the movie doesn't take a whole lot from the games. The people who made the film evidently at least watched footage of the series however, since they seem to realize its all about fighting.Aesthetically, the movie has a lot in common with the dystopian sci-fi flicks of the late 80s and early 90s and like movies with names like Escape From New York, the quality of the acting is about the same. There's some competence from the leads but the supports and backups are all dreadful. Tekken is by no means oscar-worthy material but if you are able to divorce it from the inconsistencies with the story in the game franchise, it is a pretty decent popcorn flick. The film quality is excellent and some of the fights are very good. The film doesn't demonstrate a lot of real world logic and I'm not sure if that's because they couldn't be bothered to write good dialogue or if they realized the dialogue was just filler in between the fight scenes but either way there's a lot of (usually unintentional) humor in between the fight scenes. I was definitely entertained by the movie however. I'd give it a solid thumbs up to anyone who is into cheese and over-the-top action with a touch of overacting. If you're a serious fan of the game franchise however, it's probably a solid avoid since they definitely didn't bother to familiarize themselves with the actual storyline from the games.

Great Video Game Movie!!!
This is actually a pretty entertaining movie. I am not really a big fan of the tekken games and find most video game movies to be pretty bad, but something about this movie makes me want to watch it over and over again. Sure it is a little cheesy at some points(but not half as bad as most video game movies) and the acting is not going to win any awards, but over all i found the movie to be pretty fun to watch.
