When I hear Tekken, I remember those days when I has a PS2 and mashed buttons till my fingers wore out.
This is the only reason I bothered to watch this anime.

To those who haven't played any of the games and those who have an interest in the series - don't bother watching this. If you want to know why read on.

I never had any great expectations whatsoever from this anime but I had some standards.

- Special effects
- Lots of characters from the franchise
- Good action scenes
... - And Identifiable moves.

None (except the first which should have been a given) were satisfactory.

I never expected any deep plot twists or even a coherent story-line and thus shall refrain from passing judgement on this aspect.

Ah, the fight scenes. I got so pumped up when the characters entered their stances but in the end nothing happened.Nothing.
The fight btw Anna and Nina was satisfactory though as you could identify moves and even if you didn't know them, you would still get a good show.
The fight scenes would follow this sequence -

1) Stare
2) Trade a few light shots to "test the waters".
3) Characters get serious and enter some stance at which point you suddenly get exited
4) They execute one move and break out of stance
5) Pointless conversation follows.

Some scenes get so ridiculously blown out of proportion that you wonder if you're watching a Dragonball flick(in more ways than one).

I counted ten characters ( plus one if you want ). Out of more than 50 they put ten. Enough said.

Even with such low expectations I was utterly disappointing with this movie.
On a side note if they had shown Hwoarang's face I wouldn't have been this harsh:-) .
