Being a huge fan of Tekken games, I reserved a copy of "Tekken: The Motion Picture" literally months in advance. Only to be roundhouse kicked in the head with disappointment. The drawing quality is nowhere near that of other fighting game based Anime's. Fight sequences doesn't even come close to doing the game justice, which is known for spectacular moves and combos. The plot itself is decent, but presented so poorly that it leaves bad aftertaste. In comparison, "Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie" or "Fatal Fury: The Motion picture" are more refined and enjoyable to watch, despite the fact that I've always considered Tekken to be the superior and far more entertaining game. So if you are looking for an Anime based on Tekken, forget this one. You'll only feel disgraced by the shameful effort by the people representing the name Tekken. You'll have more fun watching the ending movie sequences in PlayStation Tekken games.

This movie was cool and i loved the graphics of the movie. You should buy the movie I recommend it.

I would like to say rite off that comparing the Video Game to the Anime will probably turn you off to it. Keep in mind though that this isn't a FMV people. I am a big fan of the series. I have played and beat Tekken 1-3 and intend to buy TTT when it comes out for Playstation 2. I know all the characters and love the storyline of the game. This movie answeres many questions you have left from the game. And it gives you a more indepth look at some of the characters. I've heard some bad reviews where people say that the characters didn't act like themselves. Well, the writers obviously had different views on the characters then some of you did. And I've heard people complain about the fight seens. Yes they don't come close to the actual game. And no they don't use signiture moves. Why not? Because would a person use the same moves everytime they fought someone? Wouldn't they be a tad predictable if they did?

But to tell you the truth the only thing that bothered me was Lee's character. I had different views on his chacter then the way they portrayed him. But I did like his psychopathic evil persona ^_~ after I watched the video a few times.

All in all if you are a true Tekken fan. Love the game and characters, the storyline, and you like Anime, then you'll like this movie. After all a TRUE fan likes everything thing that is related to there obsession. For those of you who absolutly hated this movie and are laughing at this review. I respect your opinion. But just keep an open mind, k?

Aside from some of the music, I can't see anything good about this title. The characters were all overly dramatic, and aside from their professions, were almost nothing like the characters from the game. None of them did many, if any, of their signature moves, and the plot (robotic dinosaurs, heheh, come on) is so bad, it's hard to link this anime to the game. The fights scenes are terrible as well, leaving with absolutely no reason to watch this anime, that is, unless you need a good laugh. If your going to go with fight anime, rent/buy Fatal Fury or Battle Arena Toshinden.

It was a good movie. It answered alot of questions that you would have about the game. Hopefully they will come out with a second movie. Kazuya was awesome and Heihachi was ruthless.The fight scenes were good too.I didn't like the ending because it doesn't say what happened to Kazuya. Kazuya was my favorite character on the game and Jun comes next as my choice. But Jin will be awesome on the next movie.

First of all i would like to stay that the main character is not a jerk, he's cool.The guy got thrown off a cliff, you dont expect a guy like that to be nice to people. The animation is good. The story line is great. The fighting scenes are ok. I wasnt much of a tekken fan, but atfer i watched the movie i felt like finding out as much info as i can about the tekken story line. Overall the tekken movie was very enjoyable to watch.

The only reason why I bought this movie was because it was there and I had the money to waste. Once again the Street Fighter 2-Animated Movie story line has been shamelessly ripped off. Too bad this fighting film offers no interesting battles (come on- one punch and the guy is dead/dying/outcold) and the animation is sub-par. But luckly, the film is so horrible that you can't help but laugh at it.

When I saw this movie I thought it had great animation and awesome music. The storyline was great, but sad. The action was amazing, but I didn't expect a invisible dynasour's head getting ripped in half.

I adore the Tekken game, and had high hopes for the anime. This movie would have soooo made it if only it was longer. Indeed I felt it was moving in the right direction in building the select few characters, but 60 minutes just isn't enough to tell the epic that Tekken is. So many characters were left out, and my idol Baek was squashed in mere seconds. The movie had good elements and flow, but each stage was rushed. Again, all due to the shortness of the movie. Even ever popular Paul was overlooked, and Kuma had a cameo appearance climbing down a tree. I mean, c'mon! Fight scenes are only half as good as SF2, with many still frame animation used. Not much fluidity and motion. Sigh. Still, my love for the game keeps me thinking that I still love this anime.

Tekken was okay, but the story in the movie was very unclear. Was it talking about Tekken 1 or Tekken 2. The movie should have been longer. I think someone should make another animated movie of Tekken and a nonanimated one. Why were the other characters such as Paul, King, and the others not describe well? There should have been more fighting scenes with them and what ever happen to Kazuya in the end of the movie? All these questions left me to think what is the movie trying to point out. The movie was not as good as I thought it would be. I recommend you rent the movie, but if you are truly a Tekken fan like me, you would be disappointed.
