Tekken BOOM!

Tekken is a movie that takes place in the video game world of the classic arcade game Tekken. I personally like Tekken the video game due to the Interesting characters and the 2D in 3D if that makes any sense. The movie though was ok overall. I really like the rundown look and feel of the movie as a whole. The story however is lackluster due to its overuse. The son/daughter is not allowed to fight by the parent however the parent dies due to some foul play and the son/daughter avenge them in some way. This has been done before and just seems wornout. The real kind of star in this movie is the fighting which I personally appreciate for the ring and kind of Mortal Kombat feel. Also Mortal Kombat is a great parallel due to the similar story and video game origins. Tekken could have been an awesome movie however the story is just not there. What I would suggest is if you like fighting movies just for the fighting and don't really care about story I say watch but rent.
