Live Action Tekken Movie

[KennedyShot02]

Well I was watching the Live action Tekken movie last night and I found myself wondering why does everyone hate it? Seriously I think it is actually a good solid movie. My only complaint was that they could have picked a better actor for Jin. Even so Jon Woo did a decent job. I don't know.. Opinions?

I Have Never Seen It. I Have Only Seen The Anime.

I haven't seen it but I can honestly tell you, as someone who first played Tekken 2 as one of my very first video games way back when - before Jin became the proverbial **** - it looks stupid. I think Tekken is one of those things that should stay in the video game world and the anime world, some forms of media just don't transfer well into live action.

...

Of course I also think the game should have ended before they started going new character bat ****, introducing five or six new people every game; new people that I'm not going to be introduced to properly given the circumstances and will, therefore, never come to care about as I have the old ones because things are now so cluttered I don't even know what's going on anymore.

i think just about every video game should remain a video game. movie and television adaptations have been tried and i don't think a single one has done well.

board games on the other hand.... we need more of those. remember this one (loved it)? and this one is coming out too...

Actually the first Mortal Kombat was pretty good. However the sequel killed that. Also the first Resident Evil movie was the best in terms of relation to the game.

you're referring to this movie? yeah, i used to like it too when i was much younger but now it just makes me lol.

i mean...doesn't it remind you of this a little?

I've seen it. Thought it was a poor movie. So awful in fact, that I don't remember anything from it, save for Yoshimitsu swinging his sword around.

I thought it was okay. What can u really expect from a movie based off a fighting game? The 1st MK movie is probably the only decent one.

Yeah I mean for a game based movie it was pretty solid. the best ones are probably RE 1(most like the games) and MK. Atleast is wasn't as bad as the Super Mario Brothers movie. Now that was HORRIBLE!

Well, from what I've heard, it's pretty... rubbish.

According to the director of the Tekken games, to them, "this film does not exist." They weren't allowed to oversee it's development.
Jin in a relationship with Christie? What utter... rubbish!
Roll on Blood Vengeance when it comes out!

Personally I disagree with the bashing the Jin and Christie relationship. Afterall it is an Alternate universe which means things can be as different as they want. Also I was glad the director didn't let them supervise as I feel sometimes that puts a cap on limits the direction. Also Being so close minded toward the movie shows the director of the games to be kinda close minded.

Isn't 'alternate universe' a good excuse for messing things up.
Tekken, Star Trek, the New DmC game. We can do anything because its *Heroic voice* AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!
Personally, they are the last two tekken characters I'd throw into a relationship with each other.

I agree, I mean the two characters have nothing to do with each other...at all. The closest they are to each other is that Eddy was taught capoeira by Christie's grandfather and Jin's dad killed Eddy's dad. Pick two characters that at least have interactions together, why don't you? Jin and Xiaoyu, Lee and Anna, Kazuya and Jun even Julia and King II! But Christie and Jin? *shakes head*

I only like Resident evil movies, why because of the Atmosphere!

Um... Actually the New DMC is supposed to be a prequel. I know stupid right but apparently that is what they say. Also you say messed things up I say a new different storyline. But hey to each their own.

Street Fighter is MUCH better about that...
