Moderator Asmo Posted May 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2012 Could be interesting, if it's far away from the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DarthKato Posted May 21, 2012 Member Share Posted May 21, 2012 I don't really hold high hopes for this film, considering every other Tekken film I have seen has been terrible . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member So High Posted May 21, 2012 Member Share Posted May 21, 2012 I agree with ya on that one the anime was wack. The cgi film wack. The live action film mad wack. I love the games though my favorite fighter, and I cant wait for Tekken Tag 2 ta drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Elemental Fist Posted May 27, 2012 Member Share Posted May 27, 2012 I have to agree with TGWTG's Spoony on his review of the live action Tekken film, I actually enjoyed it, more than the anime and CGI film. I'm sorry but in my opinion fighting games don't have the best written material for a story and the Tekken games are among the biggest offenders.

Member stuntpeople Posted May 28, 2012 Member Share Posted May 28, 2012 If one more person makes a Tekken movie without the characters using Tekken moves, I'll shoot the tv. No TKD, no sport karate, please Pinkaew, use Tekken moves. It's an instant win. Otherwise some indie guy's gonna do it and show you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that fighting games have poorly written stories, but I just feel they could have tried harder that they did. Like Mortal Kombat for example, they had very little to go on but they where still able to turn out an entertaining film. P.S. Glad to see they're other Spoony fans on here besides me.

While Mortal Kombat did have little to go on, the first game alone had much more material than almost all of the Tekken games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted May 29, 2012 Member Share Posted May 29, 2012 To me, like Eric, this should be about showcasing the martial disciplines and the classic moves of the characters. Avoid all the supernatural crap. This doesn't need to turn into a f/x extravaganza towards the end. And don't intersperse the fights with each other. Start one, stick to it, and finish it. Whenever directors leap from fight to fight in a film, I always feel I miss out on something in the context of that particular fight's flow. I hate that.

True. I guess it just comes down to trying to have as much of a coherent story as possible and to make sure the characters and fights are entertaining. And don't intersperse the fights with each other. Start one, stick to it, and finish it. Whenever directors leap from fight to fight in a film, I always feel I miss out on something in the context of that particular fight's flow. I hate that. I hate that as well. You start to get into the fight and then bam!, its over and you're left wonder what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
