What was once an evocative, battle-hardened haiku has become a punch-drunk, derivative Saturday-morning cartoon. Go to Full Review

TEKKEN: THE MOTION PICTURE suffers in comparison to other anime versions of video games, thanks in part to its truncated story line and weakly sketched main characters. Go to Full Review

Overwrought characters spend as much time debating as they do fighting in this relatively short, fast-paced and attractively designed anime. Go to Full Review

02/16/2015 A not so pretty animation based on Tekken. Too much subplots, which makes the movie a bit of a drag. It's not bad, but nothing spectacular. See more 01/19/2015 Good but no way near as good as arête fighter See more 05/09/2014 It is a really curious, but nevertheless a bad film. A really well-developed story about tragedy and familiar revenge (which was actually the game itself) turns into a strange fusion between both the first and the second videogames that leads into a boring, full of topics film. It does not even have Kazuya throwing his father off a cliff (which is an essential part of the end of the first and beginning of the second game), whereas the classical references taken from The Godfather and that Hamlet-style feeling with Kazuya's own demons and struggles for revenge from the original videogames are badly portraited.

I wouldn't like it if it wasnt for my love of the game. See more 08/28/2013 It is a really curious, but nevertheless a bad film.
