Review of Tekken (2010) by Luke B — 06 Aug 2010
Somebody tell these "film" makers that fighting games do not make good films. There are so many issues and problems that it's pointless to even try. First of all, fighting games don't really have a plot.
They have some cut scenes and back story for the characters, but it's essentially all fighting. Translate this into a film and your fucked. They are always the same. Tournament, personal motive for protagonist, fights, the end.
Enter the Dragon did this perfectly all those years ago, so just stop trying. That had actual characters it could play with. Here, the characters already exist, but no actor will ever do those pixels justice.
We get a whiny boy here, enters a competition for revenge, has fight after fight, and that's it. I hope this is the last of this crap. At least the animated film had invisible dinosaurs.
