TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

GazerRise Fantastic!

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Farhan XXX Indeed, how well can you do a story based on a game where you hit the other guy, and there's a cast of 20-30 fighters? How do you give everyone screen time? Is there enough time to give lip service to most or all of the cast, but still have something resembling a coherent story? And even if the story is coherent, is it good? In the case of Tekken: the Motion Picture, the answer is clearly a resounding NO. Tekken normally has about 20-30 characters and they only concentrated on only 9 of them and more on Kazuya, Heihachi, jun, Lei, Lee, Jack while smaller roles were given to Nina, Anna, Michelle and Roger and Bruce. the movie was supposed to be as good as the game but it wasn't most of everyones favorite characters like king or Yoshimitsu were only shown for a second i mean if you'd blink once you'd miss 10 of them. the plot for Kazuya and Jun was very well but nothing was said about the others it was like they never existed. The animation in Tekken is all digital, but since it's done by GONZO, it looks dull and boring. I blame director Kunihisa Sugishima. You'd think that Namco could find someone a little better to handle the adaptation of their flagship fighting series-- like maybe Masami Obari. Also not worth the computer they were saved on are Kazuki Yanagisawa's character designs, which are pointy, and very, very ugly.

kajin_phoenixlord I was really disappointed and mad after I watched this movie. My expectations were too high. The beginning of the movie was the best part because it was giving the information of the story. Beyond that it started to decline more and more. The thing that really made me mad was why show characters from Tekken 3 at the opening credits if they weren't in the rest of the movie. That's just stupid in my eyes. Once the tournament started, what happened with all the characters? Yoshimitsu, Marshall Law, Paul Phoenix, King, Armor King, all were seen and didn't show them throughout the tournament. Everyone had a story to tell in that game, but they only centered it on Jun and Kazuya. They only thing that was a plus was that it was filled in some of the blanks on Tekken 2 between the two of them. Lee Chaolan was just an idiot on the movie. I understand that in game story he was obsessed about controlling the Mishima Zaibatsu, but he would never go as far to kill himself and and destroy the company so no one else would get it. He's not that insane.Overall, the movie really let me down. Like I said before the only thing that was good was the information. At least now we know that how Jin came to be born. I just wish we could've learned more about the other characters. That's the only thing that was wrong about the movie. Hopefully, if they do another movie they would get it right, but that's only going on hope.

mrplaid2001 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.

shilrah This movie is about a rich man, Heihachi Mishima, who is obsessed with destroying the devil in order to create a better new world. He intentionally throws his son Kazuya from a cliff creating a devil within Kazuya. However, nobody has ever seen Kazuya ever since. Certain that Kazuya will go for it, Heihachi announces a martial arts competition. The one who get to Heihachi first and the manages to defeat him, wins the prize-money and the title of "King of Iron Fist". Kazuya shows up indeed but as he attempts to kill his father he is consistently stopped by Jun, a girl from his childhood, who was there when Heihachi threw him off the cliff. Now is there at the tournament and she won't stop at nothing to release Kazuya from the devil within him.Although this Anime is not the exactly best, I think they did a very good job with the story. Considering the amount of Tekken characters in existence (52, including the ones that are not in the game)they managed to get many of the characters in it without harming the continuity of the story. On the other hand I thought there was too little of Devil in it and Jun just doesn't stop talking. 6/10
