The acting is pretty good for a video game movie. The silliest costumes are easily Jin and Kazuya, who look nothing like their video game counterparts. This is great, since Yoshimitsu looked pretty awesome in that game. He looks pretty awesome, and I think his costume was inspired by his Tekken 3 appearance. Yoshimitsu doesn’t speak at all and is a silent samurai. My only beef with the Raven actor is that his voice isn’t as deep as that of the character he’s based on. Raven looks like he stepped straight out of the video game, which was very impressive. There are two costumes in the movie which are actually fantastic looking, and they are Raven and Yoshimitsu. A few characters such as Anna Williams, Bryan Fury and Eddy Gordo (called Eddie in the movie) look pretty good while most of the others either look nothing like their video game counterparts or instead look like bad cosplayers.
Tekken’s best feature is undoubtedly the costumes. Rather than giving away the entire plot of the movie, I’m going to stop right there and move onto something else. Along the way, Jin befriends fellow tournament fighter Christie Monteiro (if “befriending” is what you would call Jin making out with her) and Raven as they fight to stay in the tournament. Jin agrees to do so, but only because he seeks to kill Heihachi. Steve Fox, a retired boxer who organizes fights with Marshall Law, decides to sponsor Jin so that he can enter the Iron Fist Tournament as Tekken’s representative in the tournament. The fight between Jin and Law is televised, and the defeat of Tekken’s Law impresses Heihachi greatly, though Kazuya considers Jin to be nothing more than a lucky rookie.
The protagonist, Jin Kazama, gets his lucky break and is able to enter the tournament after defeating a Tekken fighter named Marshall Law who, for some reason, also fights random people off the street. Unlike the games, Kazuya Mishima rules Tekken with his old man, though Kaz isn’t too keen on being number two and would rather rule in Heihachi’s place.Įvery once in a while, the eight corporations that now rule (which are collectively known as “Iron Fist”), hold a fighting tournament for… well, no apparent reason at all other than to stick it to the other corporations by beating the fighters that they enter. The “Tekken Corporation” assumed control of the Americas, and is thankfully headed by Heihachi Mishima.
Anarchy began to rise and chaos reigned, but then the world’s eight largest corporations stood up and took control of the situation, essentially taking over the fallen nations. The story says that there was a war or something along those lines and the nations of the world fell. “Tekken” is a corporation in the movie rather than just being the title. Tekken butchers the plot and story of the video games.
#Tekken 2 movie reviee series
As a long time Tekken fan, I knew that the movie wouldn’t live up to the series it is based on, and as long as you accept this before viewing the movie then you shouldn’t be too let down. Do not have any expectations and you will not be disappointed. I was not expecting much going into this movie, which is the way to approach the Tekken movie. The Tekken movie is, of course, based on the Tekken fighting game series so it isn’t terribly unusual for me to decide to review it. It’s not too often that I’ll review something such as a movie, but here we are.
