I think there is some global conspiracy to purposefully make video game adaptations shit.

Sure Mortal Kombat (in my opinion) was a very enjoyable movie, but that was the exception.

But then you have Streetfighter (1994), Streetfighter- The Legend of Chun Li, Streetfighter "the most boring Manga Video Ever" Animated, Double Dragon (little known but celluloid shit), DOA (unsexy shit with western women- god I wanted a Japanese Schoolgirls with bouncing boobs!), Mortal Kombat Annihilation and not counting Super Mario Brothers, Alone in the Dark, Doom live adaptations.

Trust me. Tekken will be a limited US release. Will get an 5% or less Tomato Rating with (culturally insignificant beat em up references) and bomb. It will go straight to DVD here in the UK and be in the Amazon "Used and New" bargain bucket within a week.

“Nothing in it looked particularly cheesy or embarrassing, which is kind of remarkable considering how much of the look of the game and its characters it retained,”. Yeah,right. Just look at that 4th pic, it screams extra cheese. Will wait for it to come out,before completely bashing it.

It looks nice ……….
If i would have enough money to produce and direct that movie then i would show this world the new definition of martial arts and direction.

The thing I find most distressing is this movie is full of people whos work I like(Gary Daniels especially)but it's a video game movie which means it's likely going to stink like dead cats,dog shit,and corpses from CSI combined.

Eh, looks worlds better than KOF or Legend of Chun Li. At least it has fidelity to the source material.

IGN is frequently full of crap, particularly when it comes to movies. That bit about The Fast and the Furious and X-Men and Mortal Kombat was enough for me to stop thinking that Mr. Vejvoda was somebody worth reading. “Sexy, hip, urban youth appeal” might as well read as bleaugoaurljogiuardsf, except “bleaugoaurljogiuardsf” is a far more substantive description.

I remain unconvinced.
