I'm probably getting some (Okay, a lot of) flak for this, but.....
Uhm, it doesn't look that terrible.
It doesn't look that good either..... but considering the rep fighting game movies have, there's at least SOME cool stuff. Plus, there's this blink-and-you-miss-it shot from Dragunov, rising from some sort of grill after
Raven Bryan knocked him down that just looks AWESOME if you ask me. But all in all, it just looks bland... the story is bland, the main characters feel bland, and some of the choises they made for character's appearances and looks are just weird;
- Kazuya and a goatee?
- Yoshimitsu should really stay out of life action, that costume just looks silly.
- Brian with an accent? And no mad laughter? Weird.....
- I know it's costumisable to look like that in the game.... but c'mon... Raven in white? Silly.
But by far my biggest complaint;
The women
Only Nina and Anna and Christie?
Christie Monteiro as Jin's love interest? Come ON! No canon proof, obviously the choice was made for getting some booty in the movie, and it overall just feels overdone clichéd and ridiculous. Where's Ling? She's the one crushing on Jin in-game and she's a far more interesting character. Or Asuka. She's sexy, has connections to Jin (Family connections, but if I hear about what they're doing to Nina and Anna, that should't be a problem) and again, much more interesting character. Heck, I'd even take LILI. (This isn't in the 'Lili sucks' kind of way, I love her, it's more that Lili also has NO connection to Jin.)
..........
*Sigh*
Like I said, it doesn't look terrible, just a dime-a-dozen boring flick with a predictable story and maybe SOME good moments. Most painful is.... it's probably a step up from the other fighter game movies.
